| One thing that puzzles me, also noticed it a couple weeks ago. They have two sets of 4 Vinum Syrah stems listed, with the other one about twice the price. Also, the "regular price" on this one (the cheaper set) is listed as $49.80, sounds like the "wine series" syrah stem (no lead in the crytal, stouter stems with ridges).

| According to Amazon:
"Machine-crafted in Austria from 24-percent lead crystal"
They do have the "Wine" series, but these stems are clearly labeled as the "Vinum" series. | | | |

| Understood, that's why I mentioned I was puzzled. FWIW, the two different Vinum syrah sets listed have different model numbers, 4416/30 and 5416/30.

| Maybe this is what they did with Spiegelau? Probably not, but it's a puzzle. FWIW, I imagine the stems are pretty nice.

The Riedel site just calls it a 416/30. I wonder if there is a difference | | | |

| Geez - I went with the free shipping, and it arrived the next day.
These look like the real Vinum deal. | | | |
