Amazon.com Review: Spiegelau's Vino Grande series of glasses is part of a connoisseur line designed with the characteristics of each beverage in mind. This tall, narrow glass is fit for serving everything from gin and tonics to cherry colas. Tap the glass gently with your fingernail and you'll hear the distinctive ping of fine crystal. This glass measures 5-3/4 inches high, with an elegantly tapered top. The glasses are billed as dishwasher-safe and are sturdy enough for everyday use, as proven by their use in restaurants. --Irene Svete

Rating: - These are NOT non-lead crystal. They contain 5% LEAD OXIDE!
Contrary to what the description says about these glasses being lead-free, these glasses contain 5% LEAD OXIDE by weight, as stated on a sticker attached to each glass. Back they go. Luckily Amazon has an easy return policy. Just please be more accurate with your descriptions. I do not need to have me or kids drinking out of glasses containing lead oxides.
Rating: - Perfect Glasses, Despite Misinformed Reviews
Apparently people don't know what the word "Highball" means, or they wouldn't be disappointed with the capacity of the glasses in this beautifully modern set from Spiegelau. Highballs, of course, hold between 8 - 12 ounces and these weigh in at a full 11 ounces. They're perfect glasses for a proper aperitif at the beginning of a nice meal with friends. If they're good enough for cocktails at Michael Mina's restaurants, certainly they're good enough for me.
Rating: - Great glasses.
Saying these glasses are too small is a lot like complaining that shot glass aren't big enough. They're highballs. Bar glasses made to hold specific styles of drinks, (mojitos, singapore slings, cobblers, etc.) and they are the perfect size for that. Excellent quality.
Rating: - I wish I'd paid more attention to the dimensions
Just when I thought I was getting used to everything being so much bigger in the US... I should have taken more notice of the other reviews. Beautiful glasses but they are way too small. My set will also be returned, they are a really odd size somewhere in between any use I would have for them.
Rating: - Elegant Highball Glasses
It looks very elegant with 4/5 full of iced beverage in the sunny afternoon kitchen. It feels so good while holding the glass and chatting with friends. The distinguish quality has captured every guest in the house. The size is just right for such occasions.
