Gabriel-Glas: A masterpiece of form and function

Feb 18, 2026 | All | 0 comments

The world’s best ‘one for all’ wine glass is back in stock! Designed by renowned Swiss wine critic René Gabriel, the unique bell shape of the Gabriel-Glas allows you to switch effortlessly from Champagne to Chenin, to Pinot, to Port. Sommeliers and editors agree – it’s the ultimate Swiss Army knife of glassware.

The StandArt edition is light yet durable, dishwasher safe, and sailed through The New York Times’ drop test. ‘Spot this Austrian crystal glass in a store and you might guess that it retails for about twice the actual price,’ says Food & Wine Magazine.

The Gold Edition is mouth-blown and feathery light, weighing only 90g. ‘Seemingly spun from some crystalline gossamer, the top-of-the-range Gabriel is of a helium lightness, the elegantly waisted, paper-thin bowl floating on a match-thin stem. This is a very, very nice glass.’ – Club Oenologique

Gabriel-Glas was voted the world’s best universal wine glass by Forbes, Wine Folly and Club Oenologique, to name a few. View the entire range, including their 6-Piece Stemless Set and Alpha Decanter.

We’re not the only ones who love these glasses:

With its elegant shape and excellent performance, the Gabriel-Glas is a smart investment,’ says the New York Times. ‘It’s versatile and performed as well in our taste tests as glasses costing twice as much.’

‘Our sommeliers and experts were surprised by the price of this glass, given its excellent quality and performance while sipping the Beaujolais and Cava. This is a true universal glass. It can handle anything and everything.’ – Food & Wine Magazine

‘You’ll be able to notice the difference in how it makes your wines sing no matter the style of wine you pour in it. Wines are lifted and more expressive.’ – Vogue

‘The perfect shape seems to be the slightly ‘plumped’ bowl of the Gabriel.’ – Club Oenologique

‘They polish up nice and most of all they really do wonders for the wine.’ – Vine Pair

‘Convenience matters. Satisfyingly graceful and easy to reach for.’ – Forbes

‘It delivers flavours in a sequential manner. This trait makes Gabriel-Glas fantastic for blind tasting and for improving your palate. The fruit delivery was equal to Zalto, but more fresh in style.’ – Madeline Puckette, Wine Folly

‘It’s pretty close to the ideal Swiss army knife glass in that you can use it for pretty much any wine and it costs about half of most top-end stemware.’ – Matt Crafton, Château Montelena
