Abstract: We continue the study of U(1) vortices with cholesteric vacuum structure. A new class of solutions is found which represent global vortices of the internal spin field. These spin vortices are characterized by a non-vanishing angular dependence at spatial infinity, or winding. We show that despite the topological mathbbZ2 behavior of SO(3) windings, the topological charge of the spin vortices is of the mathbbZ type in the cholesteric. We find these solutions numerically and discuss the properties derived from their low energy effective field theory in 1+1 dimensions.
