Grassl Glassware

[Rodrigo_B]

Was just on the Grassl site and noticed what seemed to be a new addition… BD release?

[Brian_Tuite]

Chris, my wife broke a Cru but I didn’t bug you because no glass could have survived that fall from the bar!

We love those and the Liberte; we’ll add some for our FL place.

The Libertes we received with the GrandReserve Mastercard are great. They remind me if Gabriel Glas Gold. I’m ordering more on BD.

We have 1855, Cru and Mineralite as well and the 1855s are the shit.

The sample pack comes with a decanter, but it seems small. For those of you who ordered the sampler and later ordered a decanter, was the size the same? Doesn’t seem like it’ll fit a 750ml bottle.

Anyone?

Haven’t used the Grassl decanter but their site says the decanter capacity is 1L which seems plenty for a .75cl bottle

I can’t imagine anyone would make a decanter that doesn’t hold a 750mL.

According to Grassl’s website, the “decanter” holds 1L and the “carafe” holds 800 mL.

Here’s a Grassl decanter filled with a full 750 ml bottle.

Thanks to a post by the esteemed Megan Joy I am a proud owner of two decanters and will be going back to the well for more! Simply the best!

Early in my wine drinking career I found out the hard way that a liquor decanter isn’t always 750 ml. Luckily it wasn’t anything real special, but I now I pay a little closer attention when I’m pouring.

I find SW (sophienwald) to be the best wine glasses.

The decanter looks great. How does it pour? My current decanter drips worse than any I’ve had in the past and I’m looking to replace it.

I haven’t really used it, but it is very thin at the rim and seems to pour with minimal dripping.

I also have the decanter shown above. I think it’s very elegant (ours sits on a bookshelf when not in use and looks very nice). It pours great, no drips at all. I would recommend highly.

I suppose the only other thing I can think to say about it is that you can’t hold it by the “neck” given how delicate it is–rather hold it the bowl or bottom–but I think that’s probably true for any decanter shaped like this. Also, you can’t tell by the picture, but the bottom has a “doughnut” shape, so it’s easy to hold and pour from.

I’d like to thank everyone on this thread for helping me decide what to buy today. I’ve finally broken enough glasses to make room for a small number of Grassl’s to try out.

[T_y_l_e_r_Z]

Thanks everyone! Picked up the Decanter today based on the recs.

[Leonard_Taylor]

Are the stems as thin as the Gabriel Glas stems?

[jordan_jacobs]

Re: decanter. I am very OCD about stems and decanters and own too many to count. I say that only to support that when I am opening most wines this is my go to decanter. It’s weight, size, and how easy it is grab and pour make it an easy choice. Most user friendly option out there

[Ron_Slye]

I just ordered two of the decanters! Plus two of the stoppers.

I purchased of these decanters at Berserker Day last year and absolutely love it! As the photo shows, it will easily hold at 750 ml bottle, and from personal experience it pours very nicely. While I agree with the comment about not being able to hold it by the neck, I almost always held it with my hand under the base when pouring and never had a problem. I would highly recommend this decanter.

I ordered some Mineralite and Liberte glasses. I already own the 1855 and Cru and use almost exclusively those + Conterno’s Sensory glasses, except still use Jancis Robinson’s One glass for Champagne and Riesling. I’ve broken 2 of those over the past year, so the Mineralite/Liberte will likely be used to replace those in the rotation.

[Christos_M]

Took the plunge on some 1855s and XL cloth. I’m probably going to regret not getting some Libertes.
