ZWIESEL GLAS Launches Innovative Glassware Collections: Tone and Début

On September 16, 2023, ZWIESEL GLAS unveils two remarkable collections of glassware aimed at transforming how we enjoy beverages. The Tone collection is crafted for contemporary bar scenes, while the Début collection caters to the expanding world of non-alcoholic drinks.

Evolution of Drinking Culture

In recent years, our relationship with drinks has undergone a significant transformation. The evolution isn’t just about what we drink but how we experience it. The shift has moved beyond traditional bars into the comfort of our homes, and non-alcoholic beverages, once seen merely as substitutes, have emerged as vibrant entities with distinct fragrances and flavors.

ZWIESEL GLAS’s new collections respond to these shifts in the drinking culture, reinforcing the belief that it is not just about the drink itself, but the entire experience surrounding it.

Introducing the Tone Collection

Modern Barware Redefined

The Tone series draws inspiration from leading global bars and embodies a blend of elegance and practicality tailored for modern living. This sophisticated collection, developed with industry professionals, features refined designs that complement the desired functionality of contemporary barware.

Distinctive characteristics include a delicate lip, lightweight feel, compact size, and a nostalgic yet contemporary retro design, crafted to enhance the aroma of beverages. The shape of the glasses is meticulously designed to capture the fragrances, particularly through its compact bowl that emphasizes the drink's unique qualities.

Versatility Across Drinks

Far from serving just cocktails, the Tone collection includes nine different types of glasses accommodating a wide range of drinks, from whiskey and long drinks to beer and traditional sake vessels. The lineup features not only classic glasses reminiscent of sophisticated bar experiences but also forms adaptable for daily drinking needs, merging elegance with utility. This makes Tone a perfect companion for both special occasions and relaxed evenings at home.

Award-Winning Design

The excellence of the Tone collection has been officially recognized as it received the German Design Award, highlighting its aesthetic appeal and functional prowess designed for savoring a variety of drinks.

Meet the Début Collection

Catering to Non-Alcoholic Alternatives

With the boom of non-alcoholic drinking options such as kombucha, sparkling teas, and mocktails, there arises a need for specialized glassware. The Début collection addresses this distinct need by enhancing the sensory experiences of varied non-alcoholic beverages.

Today’s landscape sees non-alcoholic drinks celebrated not as mere alternatives but as unique offerings in their own right, necessitating thoughtfully designed glassware to appreciate their complexity.

Sensory Elements at Play

Why is tailored glassware essential for non-alcoholic drinks? The shape and size of a glass can dramatically alter the perception of taste and aroma. The Début series was developed in collaboration with esteemed tableware designer Carsten Gollnick and experts from the burgeoning No/Lo beverage movement, emphasizing the sensory aspects critical to enjoying non-alcoholic beverages.

Each glass in the Début line is meant to optimize different aromatic features of beverages, encouraging drinkers to explore each unique character rather than viewing them solely as substitutes for alcoholic options.

Diverse Glass Shapes for Unique Drinks

The Début collection includes five distinct glass shapes designed to enhance experiences for a wide array of non-alcoholic drinks:

- All-Round Glass: Suitable for a broad spectrum of flavors, elegantly crafted to highlight diverse aromas.
- All-Round Glass L (Mocktail): Made for complex mocktails, providing ample space to enjoy intricate scents.
- Sparkling Glass: Ideal for sparkling teas and sodas, featuring a slim design to present bubbles beautifully.
- Aroma Glass: Designed for fermented drinks, with a wide bowl to capture aromas.
- Bowl Glass: Perfect for rich textured drinks, this open shape encourages savoring flavors slowly.

These designs do not merely conform to traditional expectations of what non-alcoholic drinks should be but celebrate the vast spectrum of tastes they can offer.

Availability

Both collections became available on September 16, 2023, through the ZWIESEL official online shop and major retailers, with the promise of bringing refined viewing and drinking experiences to every table setting.
