Spiegelau glasses on sale

Post by PaulV »

I noticed that Spiegelau Authentis and Grande are on sale - reduced from $70 and $60 respectively to $40 for 4 glasses - see

Has anyone used either style , particulalrly the burgundy glass?

Cheers

Paul

Apparently it is spelt: Spiegelau :)

This is needed to find the glasses if anyone is interested.

Thanks Adair - my children would very much appreciate you picking me up on my spelling :oops:

Paul,

No, I have not but I am most interested. I am a Riedel user but have found my Riedel habit to be getting expensive and I am not able to give everyone the same Riedel glass when I have dinner parties at home.

I am most interested as to what people think about:

* Vino Grande Bordeaux
* Vino Grande Red
* Authentis Bordeaux

I want to buy some but which one?

Please help.

Thanks Ric. I presume your comment can be taken as a recommendation for the Grande Bordeaux. Yes?

Is the glass in your photo a Riedel Shiraz?

I love them. I use the VG Bordeaux (also called the Red Magnum) and Burgundy, and actually prefer them to the Riedels. Haven't used the Authentis, which I think might be a competitor to the Riedel Extreme range ?

Lots of pretty pics at the Spieg website - www.spiegelau.com

Cheers, Celia

I got 6 Spiegelau as part of a purchase of Rufus Stone. They are excellent quality and we use them most nights. Not the cheapie variety that was advertised recently at a Sydney store.

Hi Paul,

I bought 8 (Authentis) at that price 2 months ago. I love them, however, despite being cheaper, they are also easier to break thanb Riedel and I have already broken 2!

Agree they are great Christmas presents.
