Frequently asked questions
• Which Zalto carafe should be chosen for a tannic red wine? The Axium decanter (1450 ml), designed to maximize aeration and soften the tannins of structured red wines.
• What is the difference between the Axium and the Mystique? The Axium (1450 ml) is suited to a standard bottle of powerful red wine; the Mystique (1900 ml) is reserved for the most concentrated wines and for magnums.
• How long should a Bordeaux be decanted in the Axium? It depends on the vintage, but the wide base of the Axium speeds up the aromatic opening compared with a classic carafe.
The soul of glass, from Austrian master blowers
Since 2006 Zalto has reinvented the wine glass in Austria’s Mühlviertel valley. Mouth-blown by master glassmakers, Zalto glasses are among the lightest in the world — under 100 grams — and their quiet line steps aside so the wine can take the stage.
