GF/CCR Champagne Flutes

I know these are Schott Zwiesel (or they were) but there are a few different brands/models. Does anyone know which exact ones they are?

They are quite pleasant to drink from and we need a whole heap before Christmas as our old ones are a mishmash of things that probably need to be sacrificed for something new...

GF/CCR Champagne Flutes

I think the glassware in the CCR is not the same as the GF. The champagne glasses in the CCR seem more heavyweight.

Do you think they might be these?

I cannot recall a difference between GF and CCR but to be fair I don't usually cross-pollinate in the same sitting, so I may be wrong!

The CCR ones are definitely not the ivento, the shape doesn't match. Am on a train using a very slow wifi atm otherwise I would try and see what is closest myself.

You can see how much smaller the new glassware KARFA has highlighted vs. the original (and much nicer) Schott ones.

A sensible move really, as there's a huge amount of wasted vintage champagne as half empty glasses litter the lounges.

Invento it is then - just ordered several boxes, so fingers crossed they'll be the ticket. Must admit though, I am a bit concerned about the capacity! 228ml!

Invento are terrific glasses for parties, as they are sufficiently bucket-like that you don't have to keep charging people's glasses.

I have those, a set more resembling the latest CCR ones (for less good friends, you know who you are ) and a rather terrific set of champagne saucers.
