If you move quickly, we have some stock on our Zalto-centric website, www.TheManufactory.com. It’s part of Winemonger imports, but we’ve split the majority of what Zalto stock we were able to bring in over to that site.
I expect things to sell out by the end of the weekend if not sooner.
And yes, as I continue to be as transparent as possible, I am one of the owners of Winemonger, US importer for Zalto, totes ITB, and a Berserker Biz level member. There is very, very little stock available for the US right now… more to come in early/Spring 2022.
It is almost 1:1. I own both. It is a little thicker, most notably at the connections. But it is a very small difference. I put both on a weight scale and I think the difference was only 7 gram…
And not cheap for Spiegelau at $30 a glass here, but half the price of Zalto. I have 6 Zalto Bordeaux that I am taking care of a little better than usual now given the supply chain issues; I also have some different Spiegelau for larger family dinners that I’m not too happy with, so neat to see this might be a good alternative for that use.
Crazy prices. Zalto is around 40$ here, Spiegelau Definition is 20$. I bought in bulk with some friends and just got 12x at 15$.
I also had various other Spiegelau glasses. All very clumsy, but works well for parties and people who don’t care but the Definition glasses are at Zalto’s level.
There’s a shortage of Zaltos globally at the moment as nearly all production is destined for the new 67 Pall Mall Clubs opening in Singapore and Verbier in the near future. This should abate in February apparently.
