I love the Schott-Zwiesel glasses - they are my go-to daily glass. Last far longer than Riedels.
Which one would be comparable to a Vinum Bordeaux glass?
I replaced all my (mostly broken) Vinum Bordeaux glasses with Tritan Forte from S-Z. In 6 months, I’ve broken one glass, versus one a month at least with Riedel. I actually like the shape of the Tritan Forte better, too - it’s not just a rounded out bowl, there’s sort of a rounded angle in it, and a smaller opening
Tee-hee.
No worries - I can still find the opening!
When I was in high school, I worked nights in a gas station during the summer. Some times if someone pulled up past where the lights were and wanted me to check there oil, there wasn’t enough light to put the dipstick back in. One time when I was struggling to do this, the customer looking over my shoulder (an older man) said “Would it help if I put some hair around that?”
It took me a second out of context, then I almost fell down laughing.
BTW what is a “Claret Burgundy Wine Glass”? ![[scratch.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/4/42a16863a8714da3c1604419e3eb9206bb87aa50.gif "scratch"){kind=small}

As the ‘sommelier’ at Domaine Chandon (Etoile) would have told me - ‘it’s 100% Claret’.

Not these days…
I have no clue
It’s taller and holds more volume than the normal Burgundy glass in the Forte lineup. I think the proportions look better too.
The order is going in at noon. I will let you guys know when they arrive.
The glasses arrived yesterday. Looks like all orders will ship today. I have sent out the UPS tracking #s.
Everyone should have received their orders.
By the way, the Pure bar glasses rock! I bought the juice and longtalls to replace my beverage glasses.
Les, thanks so much for all the work!!
I get compliments on my Pure BDX (along with the others) every time I take them out!

Same here - especially when I break out the DOFs and Longtalls. I upgraded my every day beverage glasses with the Pures.
The Burgs are slowly growing on me. I need to test them out this weekend.
I use the Pure burg glasses and I love them. I also have a set of Riedel’s for Burg’s, but I really like the pure’s shape and they seem indestructable
Yeh, I have the Pure series Burg/Bord/Sauv Blanc glasses and absolutely love all 3 sets.
Next Order Date: 4/6/2010
Same coupon codes.
I can check to see if they have any Top Ten glasses left.
