Spiegelau wine glasses

[Darren72]

Is anyone familiar with the differences between Spiegelau's Vino Grande line and their Authentis line? Both retail at Amazon for about $55 for 6 glasses, though the "list price" of the Authentis is about $20 higher.

We have a lot of Vino Grande glasses and are quite happy with them. Any pointers about how the Authentis glasses may differ is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

boy, we miss those amazon deals a few years back, before riedel bought spiegelau...used to pay $4 per glass (sometimes buy one, get one!), free shipping...still have a few boxes stashed...those were the days! thanks, eG! (this is where we found out about the great deal.)

i think the main difference is the shape at the bottom of the bowl. authentis have a more angular shape, while the vino grandes are rounded.
