Amazon.com Review
Several years ago, an article in Wine Spectator magazine noted the importance of a high-quality glass for improving a wine's looks and enhancing its bouquet. However, the magazine lamented, many of the attributes that increase the beauty and value of the glass actually obscure the wine. Spiegelau's Vino Grande series is part of a connoisseur line designed specifically for wine lovers. The thin rim means less distraction from the taste and texture of the wine. Tap the glass gently with your fingernail and you'll hear the distinctive ping of fine crystal. Grappa is a potent, traditional Italian after-dinner drink made from the skins and seeds of grapes that have been used for winemaking. This grappa glass measures 7-3/4 inches high and is designed with a stem long enough to keep your fingers from touching the bowl, but not so long as to unbalance the glass. The glasses are billed as dishwasher-safe and are sturdy enough for everyday use, as proven by their popular use in restaurants. Still, we'd recommend hand washing. --Irene Svete

If you enjoy grappa or marc (dry liqueur made from the lees of wine) it's important to serve it in a tall, narrow-mouthed glass. This type of glass traps the subtle aroma of grapes that makes drinking grappa an interesting experience. If you drink Kirschwasser or other eau de vie, the same glass is used. These work far better than brandy snifters which aren't really so suited to this type of delicate but potent liqueur.
