Wine Glasses

[Tastevin]

So, what we are talking about is Vinium, not as I thought, another newer range. Winoweenie, there was I thinking that we had the monopoly on wine snobbery, only to find it alive and kicking across the pond! Georg Reidel being a very astute man hit on the idea of making a range of glasses that would appeal to a certain type of consumer. So he tinkered around with the standard ‘egg’ shape, gave the various shapes (which are still fundamentally ‘egg’ shaped) names such as ‘Chardonnay’, ‘Pinot Noir’, called the range Vinium, and then smiled all the way to the Bank. As far as my glassware is concerned Winoweenie, I have stayed, and will remain with, my standard ‘egg’ shape glasses. Why? Because the glass quality and clarity is very good, the ‘egg’ shape is not only ideal for concentrating the bouquet, and drinking from, it is also aesthetically pleasing.
Reading your comment about cleaning, I suggest the reason why you notice a difference in the wine is because you now clean the glasses better. By the way, what is the special significance of the 5 years you mention? By the way again, why do you call me Bean? T.
