Spiegelau White Wine Glasses, 15.5 oz

Years ago I bought my first set of basic Spiegelau red wine glasses (post holiday sale), and had they not been 75% off, I would never have bought them. After using them the first time, I was hooked. Every time I have used them with guests I have gotten loads of compliments. As the holidays were approaching this year, I decided to finally buy a white wine glass set and first choice was Spiegelau. After doing some research, I decided to go all the way and get this "Willsberger Anniversary" white wine set, which is quite the step up from my original glass set. First of all, the stem is pulled, which means there is no joint bump at the bottom of the bowl. Small thing for some, but distracting when I hold a glass of wine as my thumbnail always finds that ridge. The glass of the bowl is flawless (I checked all of my glasses). And again, that laser-cut rim. All of that plus that impossibly thin glass equals one of the lightest wine glasses on the market. Now for the only cons: Pricey and not packaged in the most sturdy method for delicate glass drink ware. Hard to get around the price of these glasses, but this seller had the best price. As far as the packaging, out of the four glasses, only two were wrapped in a thin layer of crinkled paper. Then the thin cardboard box was packed in a similarly sized cardboard shipping box with no extra padding between to protect the glasses. Luckily for me, all of my glasses arrived without any breakage, but this method of packing should be upgraded.
