Yeah, accepting that it might look better in my hand, I don’t like it either. Kinda a muffin top thing going on.

I have pairs of Zalto Champagne and Lehmann Lallement n.3 (500ml) and like them, but wish both were 20-30% bigger. Will probably order a pair of Lallement n.2 sometime.
Try the Lehmann Synergie 60 ml?

Thank goodness for this answer, as it makes it easier for me to keep my head in the sand with my Mineralite.
Yeah seems most people talking Grassl are using the more generic Liberté. Mineralité is significantly better for bubbles.
Proud of you for staying strong buddy…but the Lehmann is a really, really nice glass. Just sayin

You’re terrible … LOL! 
… {sigh} … maybe K&L will eventually have them in-stock and in-store – will give a chance to check 'em out in person — knowing me and my ever-eroding willpower, that’ll probably seal the deal. 
Ha ha! That sounds like a good plan - check em out in person before pulling the trigger! Let me know if/when that happens - would love to hear your thoughts!

I weighed my Lehmann 60 ml and it was 140 grams

Machine blown 41cl weight - I found 210 gr for this one
Mouth blown 45cl / ultralight weight - I found 120 gr for this
With the 60 at 140gr the above (200/120) seems legit

These are beautiful, and a worthy set to have sought out. Big fan of finding beautiful glasses to drink from (wine or cocktails) even if they aren’t perfect for the organoleptic properties of the wine. Sometimes the vessel it is served in can enhance the experience in entirely other ways.
On our end, we have a long-defunct Waterford flute design with shooting stars that we like to pull out for special occasions. Sure the wine objectively may show better in the Zaltos we normally use, but romance isn’t always dead

My favorite glass for champagne is impossible to get now, but I still have maybe 4 left, it is the first generation grassl cru, before they made it with thicker glass and made the bowl bigger. I’m not too sure how long Chris sold these but they are perfect for champagne. The current cru is a bit too big and less expressive. That glass broke if you looked at it wrong, though.
They definitely made the first generation thinner, but I’m not so sure about a smaller bowl? I loved those, but I broke all mine just looking at them. I still have a couple of the early ones that were made a bit thicker.
They were def smaller, when I have a chance I’ll dig them out and put them side by side
Chris has explained there’s some unit-by-unit variation due to gradual degradation of the wooden forms used by the glassblowers.
I have one Liberte stem that I frequently mistake for a Mineralite, for example.
It’s not unit to unit variation, it’s a totally different glass. They redesigned it because it broke too often. When I have a chance I’ll dig them out. I own like 36 cru stems so it’ll take a min to find them.
