There's an interesting Austrian connection as both my partner and her friend are ethnic Austrians though only the hand-blown glasses are made in Austria these days.
I guess the next question would be whether there is any difference between the Vinum range and the hand-blown Sommelier range. I doubt that I would be able to tell the difference, but I'm also not about to buy any.
