Zalto Set of 2: the Burgundy and Universal Pairs
Two is the right first order for Zalto. A pair ships in moulded packaging made for it, and if one arrives broken you still have a glass to drink from while the replacement is sorted.

Which pair to buy
- Buy the Universal pair if you drink a bit of everything. It covers almost every bottle, which is why most working sommeliers keep it at home.
- Buy the Burgundy pair if Pinot Noir is what you open most. The huge, thin bowl gives a perfumed red room to open.
- Two lets you learn whether you can live with glass this thin before you buy more.
Skip Zalto if
- The glasses must go in the dishwasher every night without a second thought.
- Breakage would stress you more than the wine would please you.
- Then look at Schott Zwiesel Tritan: reinforced, made for daily use and the dishwasher.

Questions about the Zalto set of 2
Is a Zalto set of 2 cheaper than two single glasses?
Not always, so compare the pair with the single listing before you order. The pair's real advantage is the box: it ships in packaging made for two.
Universal or Burgundy: which Zalto pair should I buy first?
The Universal, unless Pinot Noir is most of what you drink. The Universal handles red, white, rosé and sparkling; the Burgundy is a specialist for delicate, aromatic reds.
What if a Zalto glass arrives broken?
Unpack over a soft surface, check the rims before you wash anything, and photograph any breakage before disposing of it. Buying Amazon-fulfilled rather than from a third-party seller makes the replacement straightforward.
