Don't trust me 100%, but 99% sure they are:
GC - Michaelangelo....might not be displayed, as on request only.
GF/CCR - Grand Cepage, possibly 8.5oz?? or 24cl?? Is there such a thing as a champagne flute that is too big?!?!
Spiegelau glasses are still very much in use at LGW in the F Lounge for tumblers, hi-balls, wine glasses and Champagne flutes.
As to the GF Champagne flutes, when I looked at them a month ago, they looked to me like a cheap catering glasses - they had rolled rims which is usually a sign of a cheap glass. If you compare them to Champagne flutes from Villeroy and Boch, Rosenthal, Riedel or indeed Spiegelau, who use cut rims, the difference will be obvious.
Perhaps the Grand Cepage are only on offer in the CCR? The ones in the GF, when I checked, bore no engraved maker's mark, which is unusual for this type and quality of glassware.
