Another glass producer that I would recommend is Ravenscroft, in New York City. It’s a company started by a winelover named Stephen Falanga.
Ravenscroft produces an entire line of fine crystal glasses that are even less expensive than Spiegelau. They are somewhat lighter in weight than both Riedel and Spiegelau, but Mary and I use them and are quite happy with them. In fact, for our everyday tasting, we purchased a set of 24 of their inexpensive, Titanium line (the gourmet/all-purpose glass) that wholesales for $3.50 a glass.
For brochures of their entire line, including price lists, e-mail Ravenscroft at: [email protected]. Steve can be reached via e-mail at [email protected].
