New wine pet peeve...The James Suckling "100 Point Wine Glass."

99.23.241.157

Enophile

It's pretty, but the pretention of name slays me.

From Suckling...

"What also makes my glass different than most others is that it brings beauty back to wine drinking."

"Just holding the glass with its sensual stem and beautiful feel takes wine drinking to a different level."

No word yet on pricing.

...the glass can make a difference in how you experience the wine - it's bouquet and flavor.

Reidel has capitalized on that.

I much prefer a thinner, chrystal-like, nicely shaped glass for my wine.

Not that I've done any comparison tasting with different glasses.
- We've attended some Reidel 'tastings' and they were quite fun. - Enophile 18:16:18 09/08/12 (1)
  The chemistry and physiology of some of the talk makes some sense.
  
  Before the Reidels, my favorite glass was a brandy snifter: large bowl, narrow chimney!
  
  I'm not a Suckling reader, it'll be interesting to see the 'reviews' of the glass.
  - I'll give it a 90... - R Browne 19:29:08 09/09/12 (0)
    ...because it has a good beat and you can dance to it.
