Completely agree. My brother in law and I are gonna split an order of his new stems. This is what I love about this board, such great recommendations besides just wine. Weāve found amazing stems and food along with remarkable wines from this board. One of many reasons Iām thankful.
For those who are interested, some are the detailed data -
(1) Grassl Cru : mouth 64 mm; bowl 110 mm; stem width 5 mm; and rim to stem 230 mm.
(2) Glasvin Aromatic: w-126 mm- h-230 mm.
(3) Zalto Burgundy Glass : - rim to stem 230 mm.
(4) Conterno - sensory : 218 mm; capacity 0.85 l.
(5) Hong Kong Hip - by Lucaris : w-122 h-251 mm; capacity 0.95 l.
For me:
Nude Stem Zero Volcanoā¦incredible glass, so light so thin so strong and so pliable that people think its not glass, but plastic, u can literally squeeze the bowlā¦its absolutely crazy, surreal glassware.
Next is the Zieher Balance and Intense glassā¦killer design and gorgeous aestheticsā¦I actually will use the large balance glass for Champagne and I luv it.
Josephine no.3 by Zalto ā¦just a funky beautiful angular design
One that I am trying to find here is the Zwiesel Moment Glass
https://www.porzellantreff.de/en/zwiesel-glas-the-moment-c14036.html
Iāve contact the company and they have forward my correspondence
A newer glass I am looking to purchase is the Mark Thomas double bendā¦interesting glass, not sure exactly what I think about it yet, but I am intrigued
The Conterno Sensory is another of interest that Iām looking to add:
I have a Reidel Wing Riesling glass which is decent and would like to def. add the pinot glass

Zenology is good option tooā¦I have the universal except I found it a bit too smallā¦I would prefer the cab or burg.
Iām still mildly nterested in the Sophienwald Phoenix burg glass

Cheers
I used to use the Lucaris for its unique design that seems to accentuate aromatics, but its just to bulky and hefty for meā¦I prefer light/thin glassware to enhance tactile feel
Lots of similarities on many of these glasses.
Great to have so many options but one could easily run out of quality storage with so many choices.
The Balanced did intrigue me a half a year ago but then I found the Glasvin.
Marcā¦thanks for all the link ( in post 64 and also 65 )- very interesting ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
.
I viewed themā¦and they gave me a head-ache. They are as complicated as the AC systems in Burgundy. ![[swearing.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/8/8a0d3f3461d40641d294442fc2be78039bf94d19.gif "[swearing.gif]"){kind=small}
I was not aware that Lucaris has many new series in the wine-glass designed - for example : Rims and Desire.
As I have been mainly into buying Burgundy red for the last many years, so I bought cases and cases ( with 4 glasses in case ) of the Lucaris Hong Kong Hip ( from the Modern Asia Series ) years ago and also cases and cases of Spiegelau- Salute Verre a Bourgogne Copa de Borgona ( due to more reasonable price) also years and years ago.
I have not been interested in the new types of burgundy wine glasses for the last few years as I still have many of them left. I did not remember how much I paid, but I am sure that I bought them from Bowring in Montreal, Quebec during their periodical and occasional promotion sale at 25% off.
Presuming, based on the video, that you mean the mouth-blown Zenology SOMM and not the standard machine-made Zenology, I use and love the Universal glass as a white wine (or chilled red) and sometimes Champagne glass (though I like their flutes), because I agree that itās too small for other wines.
Yesā¦thatās what I meantā¦the somm line.
Here are additional data:
Hong Kong Hip ( for taller burgundy balloon ) by Lucaris : w-122 h-251 mm; capacity 0.95 l.
Tokyo Temptation ( for shorter burgundy balloon ) - by Lucaris : capacity 0.74 l.
Spiegelau - - Salute - Verre a Bougogne Copa de Borgona - w-108 mm (=4.25 inch); h-247 mm (=9.7 inch); capacity 0.81 l. (= 28.4 once)
Yikes, those Josephine glasses look like a plastic water bottle someone stepped on.

Keith - thanks for keeping this thread alive. Like I saidā¦in my previous posts : the subject of wine glasses - which I am ignorant and it is as complicated as the Burgundy AC systems - which was born around in the mid-1930s- I am very surprised that no-one has started a series: DRC red only.
Now back to your comments. Yike - I agree with you that those Josephine glass look like a plastic water bottle which my grand-aunt ( her name was : Aunt Come-Good-Fortune in my fatherās generation).
That being saidā¦I am scratching my head ![[scratch.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/4/42a16863a8714da3c1604419e3eb9206bb87aa50.gif "scratch"){kind=small}
as the price is $136 for a pair of 2.
Just picked up a 6 pack of the Aromatics, looking forward to trying them out!

Congratulation - love to hear you feed-back. 
Are you planning to do your trying-them-out ā¦by matching them ā¦with you old and favorite wine glass ?
Just grabbed the 9 pack starter set! 4 for us and 4 and decanter for a friends Xmas present

Iām all-in on Glasvin. I have 8x Universals and 8x Expression, plus a couple decanters. I may pick up the Champagne glasses as well. The quality is very high, theyāre aesthetically lovely, and I find them moderately more durable than Zalto and (especially) GGG. And the pricing is such that when I break them (I break glasses all the time) I donāt feel quite as guilty. Great products and superb customer service.

Thanx sir, I just grabbed the Nude Stem Zero Volcano white glassā¦hands down, there is no better quality glass on the marketā¦
Incredibleš
Did a small comparison of Grassl Cru vs. Zalto burg last night.
I should add that while my wife knew it was the same wine, she couldnāt believe how different they were and said there was no-way would she believe they were the same had she not seen me pour. She much preferred the Grassl example beginning to end.
