Same.
I started with Zaltos, and I love the Universal, but I got tired of breaking them. Any glass can break, but the Zalto mortality rate in my hands was high.
I bought Grasls because…Berserkers. I like Mineralite’ for whites, and Liberte’ and Cru for reds/all-around.
We use the machine-made GlasVins for company- sturdy, but still good to sip from.
How do y’all feel about the Conterno Sensory versus the Charlie Fu designed Glasvin?
I use Zalto Burgundy and am very, very pleased. I do not know Grasso, but I also own large Butgundy glasses from First Zwiesel and Sydonos. These are not too big, you need the volume for the nose. I have not broken Zalto glasses in ages. I find them robust, actually, but of course I wash and handle them with the required care. I think I broke one or two at the very beginning because they were unusually big.
The Fu is an abomination. Sensory is a decent glass, but mine don’t get any use.
I have a mix of stems including several already mentioned. I hand wash exclusively and break about one stem every 18 months or so. I have smallish hands and I am very careful about how I wash and dry…usually the next day ; )
I try to rotate but find that I use GGG the most. They all get some use though…and for Pinot Grassl Cru gets the nod…
Cheers,

Yabbut what do you think of the glass? 
Jodi, welcome to WineBerserkers. As you have seen, we are an opinionated bunch. I hope we have provided some food for thought. My suggestion would be to buy one of each. As to my experience, I’ve not tried the Zalto, but have found the Grassl Crü to be very durable. I carefully put it in the dishwasher as recommended.
Not sure how some handle their glassware but in five years I have never broken any of my Zalto glasses (burgundy, bdx and riesling) and I use them for everything except champagne.
Another fan here of the Zalto Burgundy glass. I don’t find the size “obnoxious” for everyday use, 1-3 stems at the table fit just fine. If you’re tasting more than 4 wines at the same time, I agree it’s too large.
Regarding breakage I’ve broken a couple in 10 years of steady use, but I am fairly careful. I do a very light rinse/clean by hand and then put them in the dishwasher. We have a second dishwasher that is primarily used for stems/decanters etc.
Fu gly
I can’t comment on anybody else’s experience, but I use the Zalto universal and their champagne glass almost exclusively and it has been literally years since I broke one. And when that happened, it resulted from buffoonery that would have broken or at least dented a tin cup.
And I am not the most graceful person you know, I promise you that
Most of the breakage whether my Zalto’s or any of my wide variety of glassware is attempting to clean (or position in dish washer) when my coordination is well off the norm (late evening)! Leave them on counter until morning. My guestimate would be 90% of breakage falls into this category.
Hard/impossible to blame the manufacturer!
With this said love the Zalto universals. However, have to say The Kane is a hell of a similar glass for the money!
if you actually used it you’d realize there’s no better stem for fine burgundy. But can’t win em all! Can’t drink with my eyes.
Is it even possible to buy the Fu glass anymore?
Or the Kane or the Levenberg
He did a second run of some of those last B-Day. Who knows he might do another run next year if it sold well enough last time.
Second run sold out in 4 hours
Going to triple production for this coming berserkday
I get screwed on glasses here. Cheapest I can get them for is about £20 per.
I drink everything (burgundy, champagne, nebbiolo, sangiovese, you name it) out of Zalto burgundy glasses; though these days I use the significantly cheaper, and near-identical Spieglau Definition burgundy glasses. To clean them, I use a bottle brush (the sort you would use to clean infant millk bottles).
