Zalto Glass Denk’Art

At the forefront of Zalto Glass's company philosophy is artisanal perfection. The glass artists of the Austrian glass manufacturer create glasses of outstanding quality, aesthetics, and functionality. Zalto glasses have always been crafted with meticulous handwork. This traditional manual production method requires the glassmakers to have a lot of experience, skill, and a delicate touch. Only a few glassblowers worldwide are capable of creating glasses as delicate, thin-walled, and perfect as Zalto glasses. Although the glassmakers work with only the simplest tools, such as the glassblower's pipe, wooden molds, and templates, they achieve a precision that even the most modern technology cannot match.

The visionary and legendary wine expert Hans Denk was the inspiration for the Zalto Denk’Art collection. Denk’Art glasses by Zalto are the most successful handcrafted wine glasses of our time. This fascinating glass series has set standards in the international drinking and enjoyment culture. Denk’Art wine glasses place the wine at the center. Through their graceful design, incredible lightness, and puristic design, these glasses respectfully take a step back and create a kind of stage on which the wine can act and unfold. Denk’Art glasses have become a cult object in the wine world. The Zalto Denk’Art wine glass is celebrated in the Wall Street Journal as one of six products that "cannot be improved upon in its kind."

The Denk'Art collection includes glasses for Bordeaux, Burgundy, sweet wine, white wine, beer, water, as well as a digestif glass, a champagne glass, and a so-called universal glass. The glasses are available individually or in sets, each in a gift box. The series is rounded off by variously sized carafes and wine decanters that match the formal design.

Handcraft and Selected Raw Materials

Craftsmanship perfection is the principle of Zalto Glass. Zalto glasses have always been made in elaborate traditional craftsmanship from selected raw materials. The skill of the glassblowers is challenged to the utmost by the fine design of the glasses. The craftsmanship is reminiscent of the delicate artistry of Venetian glass artists of the Renaissance.

The development of Zalto Denk`Art glasses incorporates the extensive knowledge of pastor and wine expert Hans Denk. With the Denk'Art brand, Zalto appropriately honors the mentor of these extraordinary glasses.

"Clear superiority, the development of taste and bouquet, ..." are the advantages that renowned sommeliers and wine connoisseurs attest to the Denk`Art series.

Inspired by the Tilt Angle of Our Earth

In the development of the Denk'Art series, a cosmic phenomenon inspired the designers of Zalto. The angles used, 24°, 48°, and 72°, correspond to the tilt angles of our Earth.

According to tradition, the ancient Romans had already recognized that these angles brought superior properties in the production of storage containers. Food not only stayed fresh longer but also tasted significantly better.

The Authorities of Austrian and International Wine Culture are Convinced by Zalto Denk`Art

"The Denk`Art glass is light-footed, very elastic, and surprisingly break-resistant despite its almost delicate design. It is also visually very appealing, contemporary, and superior to all other glasses in the sum of all its properties." Heinz Reitbauer, decorated with 5 toques, patron of "Steirereck" and "Pogusch".
