The largest of the iittala Essence Plus Collection, the 22oz. Wine Glass has a beautiful big bowl to perfectly hold mature, full-bodied and bold wines. Designed by Alfredo Häberli, he was struck with the idea that wine glasses should be created to accompany particular flavors and not colors. This led him to create the Essence Plus Collection which celebrates "character before color". Each of the 4-pieces within the collection feature the same size base and stem height but the rounded, spacious bowl of the 22oz. glass was intentionally created to highlight the flavor of richer, full wines. Great for entertaining, this set includes four glasses so impress wine enthusiasts as you sip from the delicate and feminine shaped glassware with pure enjoyment.

I loved these glasses the minute they were taken out of the box. I have used them for both red and white wines, and they work well for both. The size is perfect, and the base is not too thick to use with the under the cabinet glass racks. Love, love, love.
Pros
Good for all kinds of wine and perfect sizing
Cons
Was bummed to see the 'Made in Germany' sticker on the bottom of the glasses. Maybe I was naive to think it would be Finland.
