Hmmm ... I've heard people who swear by the varietal-specific glass, but all of them were convinced by one of these sales pitches. Something don't smell right, and it ain't the grape juice.

In the description, she doesn't mention how the wine was poured, how long the bottle had been open, or how many glasses were poured from the same bottle. The wine was then transferred to another glass -- why wasn't it then transferred back to confirm the initial result?

I think having one large glass with proper aeration and portioning should be enough to get the most out of anything worth drinking. In the meantime, people with bigger budgets and more cupboard space than me can live the high life.

Quoted: The bowl, the rim, the tapering of the glass — some say it matters in the tasting.
