Schott Zwiesel

Welcome to our Schott Zwiesel boutique, a German glassworks founded in 1872 in Zwiesel, Bavaria, by Anton Müller. A town renowned for centuries for the finesse of its glass production, Zwiesel saw the birth of one of Europe's great stemware names. In 2002, the brand developed Tritan crystal, a lead-free crystal incorporating titanium and zirconium that has redefined the professional oenological glass segment through its robustness and dishwasher resistance.

Choosing your Schott Zwiesel glasses

What is Schott Zwiesel's Tritan crystal?

Tritan crystal is the signature innovation developed by Schott Zwiesel in 2002. It replaces traditional lead oxide with an alloy incorporating titanium and zirconium, which gives it three major strengths: it retains the brilliance and sound of classic crystal, it better resists impacts and scratches, and it withstands dishwashing without dulling. This resistance is what made Schott Zwiesel a reference in hospitality and professional sommellerie.

Why does Tritan crystal withstand the dishwasher?

The titanium/zirconium alloy produces a denser, more stable material than traditional lead crystals, which become cloudy with repeated dishwasher cycles. Schott Zwiesel positions its Tritan glasses for intensive use in professional dishwashers, making them the reference in the hospitality and HoReCa segment.

How do I choose a Schott Zwiesel glass by grape variety?

The house tailors its bowls to the wine's aromatic profile: tulip-shaped bowls with inward rims for powerful reds (Bordeaux, syrah), wider bowls for delicate reds (pinot noir, burgundy), narrower glasses for aromatic whites, flutes for sparkling wines. On AZ Boutique, the Vina collection applies this oenological logic to contemporary wine service.

Which Schott Zwiesel collection should I choose for a restaurant?

For hospitality, the Mondial collection — AZ Boutique best-seller — remains the brand's versatile reference: robust glasses with a generous bowl, calibrated for table service and designed to withstand intensive Tritan crystal wash cycles. For a more contemporary service profile, Pure offers a signature angular bowl that enhances dining-room presentation.
