Over the years it's grown and the hand-me-down glasses I brought home from my job(s) have given way to proper glassware. I searched for both style and function and found what I consider to be the best marriage. It's like I played Consumer Reports for you and picked the best \"bang for your buck.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThese 22.4-ounce Bordeaux wine glasses are designed for red wine, but I prefer the shape for white wine. They come from Spiegelau, a German glassworks company that has been in existence since 1521. Yes, 1521. The company started out making a variety of glass products, including mirrors and windows. At some point, they branched out into stemware. There have been a handful of owners over the years (obviously), but the man who developed it into a world-renowned company that it is today was \u003cspan\u003eFritz Pretzfelder, a Jewish businessman who was forced to undersell it in 1939 and escape Germany with his family under the Nazi regime. \u003cem\u003ePause: It was important for me to share that story. Thanks for staying with me.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohann Willsberger (founder of \u003cem\u003eGourmet\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMagazine\u003c\/em\u003e, et al.) designed a hand-blown series for Spiegelau in 1982. In 2012, Spiegelau\u003c\/span\u003e successfully were able to mechanically reproduce its exact complex form. This glassware is machine-blown and therefore much more affordable.
