A glass with a brain

Riedel (pronounced Ree-dull) — the wine glass with a brain. Skeptic’s scoff at the idea that a glass can change the way a wine is perceived. Many dismiss the idea as hogwash, until they take the side-by-side test. Drink a wine from your typical glass goblet then try it out of the Riedel designed for that specific wine. The majority of people will notice a huge difference, as the aroma and flavors of the wine are accentuated. The Chronicle has an interesting piece on fine stemware, it’s worth a read.
