Description
While some glassware manufacturers seem intent on steering decanter design into the realm of flamboyant objets d’art, Zalto crafts only two simple yet beautiful, function-over-form designs. They both look and handle with style and, more importantly, they are practical and just work. They are also both brilliant value. The Axium is the smaller of the two and is designed for medium-bodied red wines and medium to full-bodied white wines.

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn’t seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it’s wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
