Wine Glasses

[Tastevin]

Of course the shape, size and stem length of wine glasses make a difference to the taste of wine, as does the way they are cleaned. Maybe quality does too. But to say Riedle has it down to science – well really! Riedle has some glasses that pour wine onto your tongue and into your mouth to maximise the flavour. Mine have been doing that for years. When I want a drink, I place the rim of the glass onto my lower lip, tilt the glass stem up and lo and behold the wine runs out of the glass, into my mouth and on to my tongue (will send a diagram if anyone is interested). May I ask what shape these Riedle glasses are? Do they have spouts that one places between ones lips, or what? I’m going to find out if they have a branch over here, and see if they will do a tasting for me in such a way that I will not be able to see the glasses. I bet I know what the result will be. T
