Review on 🍸 Stylish Libbey Z-Stem Martini Glasses Set: Enhance Your Cocktails with this Set of 4 by Ted Slaughter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lovely reasonable size martini glass

Pretty nice glassware, have had them for a few weeks now and still not sure if I prefer Libbey Vinas . They're more reasonably sized (they easily fit a double martini, while vinas do so with quite a bit of headroom, so if you make single martinis in vinas you risk looking a bit cheap), they cost a little less (both due to the curved shaft and due to the lower volume) so they feel a little less tipsy and the Z-Bars feel a little heavier in the hand, which I like. In fact, a quick weigh shows that the Z-shaped stem weighs 250g, while the Vina weighs just under 200g, despite being a taller, larger glass. Glasses. My only disappointment with them is quite trivial and given the name of the product I probably should have expected that ie the stem is curved in two dimensions instead of three but when placed or held at a straight angle it appears to be so a three-dimensional spiral shape. Edit: There are two different Z-Wave styles in the kit (two of each): narrow Z and wide Z. I prefer the wider style, those with small hands will probably prefer the narrow one. Quick comparison of Vina (left) and Z-Stems (right): Capacity: 12 ounces vs 9.25 ounces Height: Vina is about 1 inch taller Weight: 200g vs 250g Revain current price (per jar): 3 $.16 vs. $4
