Bormioli Rocco All-Purpose Wine Stemware Set
UPDATE 11/17/13: Spotted a $5 instant rebate for the Bormioli Rocco All-Purpose Wine Stemware Set. Price is $14.99 till 12/01/13.
The Bormioli Rocco All-Purpose Wine Stemware Set is a new set, replacing the older Electra Stemware Set.
Costco had reduced the price of the older Bormioli Rocco Electra Stemware Set from $19.99 to $12.97 (we purchased a set at $12.97) and for about 2 weeks, I thought they had increased the price back to $19.99!
That’s because the packaging for the new set and the older Electra are so similar that at first glance, they seem to be identical. Look at the photo below. They’re very similar, aren’t they?
The sets on the left are the newer All-Purpose set while the sets on the right are the older Electra set.
There’s a slight change in the shape and the new All-Purpose set has a 20.7 oz (59 cl) capacity while the Electra set is 18.6 oz (55 cl) capacity.
Other than that, the features appear to be the same:
- Made of Star Glass – new chemical composition that creates glass with high purity and transparency but is completely lead free.
- XLT Treatment – an innovation created by Bormioli Rocco to protect, strengthen and enhance the wine glasses’ resistance to breakage. The XLT treatment supposedly maintains its strength over 250 wash cycles
- Recommended by Italian Sommeliers Association
- Made in Italy
- 8 pieces per box
The Bormioli Rocco All-Purpose Wine Stemware Set is priced at $19.99.
Item number 776743.
