Amazon.com Review: Ideally shaped for prolonging bubbles and chill, the six tall, slender flutes in this set are perfect for serving Champagne and other sparkling wines. The flutes are machine-blown of 5 percent lead crystal, providing excellent transparency and brilliance for showcasing a wine's color and clarity. Elegant, finely balanced, lightweight yet sturdy, the flutes have thin rims to ensure smooth sipping and are dishwasher-safe. Each flute is 9 inches high and has a capacity of 9-1/2 ounces. Located in a small Bavarian town that bears the company's name, Spiegelau has been making glassware for nearly 500 years. Wine glasses from Spiegelau's Authentis collection are notable for their strength and value. --Fred Brack

Rating: - Great glasses!
These glasses are wonderful! I've used them several times, and they have proved to be durable and beautiful. I have bought Bordeaux glasses from the same collection, and dessert wine glasses from another collection. I've been careful washing them and handling them, and so far I'm not disappointed!
Rating: - Champagne Glasses
I own Reidel as well as Spieglau. The differences are slight. The Spieglau have a very nice tulip shape and the heft/feel to them is very good. And, given the price, if I break one I don't get upset as I would with a Reidel. No wonder Reidel bought the company. I recommend the Spieglau to anyone looking for an attractive, well made glass, at a moderate price. Anything that helps you enjoy the champagne a little more, as these do, deserve to be recommended!
Rating: - Elegant and versatile
These glasses are a lovely elegant shape, gorgeous and appropriate for champagne, and the bit of extra width makes them suitable for white wine too. They come in a box, individually wrapped in tissue. They are reasonably priced for a set of six and make a great gift.
