    For a given Borel measure \(\nu\) on \(S^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) and for a positive continuous function \(f\) on \(S^{n-1}\), the Wulff shape \(W_{\nu,f}\) is defined by \(W_{\nu,f}=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n\,:\, x\cdot u \leq f(u)\,\text{for all}\, u\in \text{supp} \nu \}\), where \(\text{supp} \nu\) is the support of the measure \(\nu\) and \(x\cdot y\) means the standard inner product of \(x\) and \(y\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). In the paper under review, exact inequalities for the Gaussian measure of Wulff shapes and their polars are obtained (Theorem 1 and Theorem 2). Similar results for the Lebesgue measure were established earlier by \textit{F. E. Schuster} and \textit{M. Weberndorfer} [J. Differ. Geom. 92, No. 2, 263--283 (2012; Zbl 1264.53010)]. The authors obtain also some more general results (Theorem 4.2 and Theorem 4.3) and various corollaries.
