tinned wineglass

[mrdutton]

A goblet that is tinned is a different story though.......

Any acid in the wine would react with the metal to produce a salt. The resulting salt would/could have an affect on the taste of the wine.

In cooking, we always must be careful to not place high acid foods in reactive containers. Because the acid will certainly react and can have disastrous results. The food ends up tasting mettallic and just plain yucky.......

Besides, tinned goblets are not really very good for drinking much of anything as too much tin is just not a good idea. If the container is silver or gold lined, then that is a better situation as these metals are not as chemically reactive as tin.

Glass and crystal are the best containers, IMHO. I have been drinking from leaded crystal for years and years and years.
