I remember. Thanks for the recent nudge to get it done. I really enjoyed doing the research and hope it provides something helpful. Cheers!

Thanks! It's a powerful idea, but it can be taken too far or obsessed over too much -- so it's always a good move to occasionally drink your brandy from a wine glass, so to speak. Cheers!

The Unknown Winecaster , Who could forget! Haha

@@TheUnknownWinecaster actually, I use my wine glass for almost any alcoholic beverage, especially fine beers to raise the formality and attention level in the eyes of my guests ;)

Would love to see your collection! If you've got the space and inclination to store them -- I say go for it! Cheers and, as always, thanks for being such a great friend of the channel!

Thanks and thanks for asking about the stemware. I have a set of Bordeaux glasses that I use for both reds and whites by Bormioli, and I use them for virtually everything, except sparkling and fortified wines. I also have a couple of sets of Burgundy glasses by Riedel that I use for Burgundies (quel surprise) of either color and for Pinot and Chardonnay, though after doing the research for my cast I'm thinking of using the Riedel Burgundies for everything -- I just had (cover your ears!) a big Washington Cab Sauv in them the other day -- delicious. I also have a couple of Riedel brandy snifters that I use for... wait for it... brandy and for Port, Madeira and Vins Doux Naturels. Finally, I have a set of Riedel Scotch glasses that I use for Scotch (I hope you're seeing a pattern here) and for Sherry. We also have a set of ornate Champagne flutes that I'm not all that happy with, and I don't know who they're by, but that's another story. That's it. Cheers!

Hey, thanks for sharing! That's more than enough if you'd ask me. I am still drinking my whisky from an old fashioned glass...im ashamed...will do something about that very soon 😅 Have you ever looked into the Zalto ones? They are extremely visually gorgeous. But I wouldn't dare touch them. Very less letting guests drink from them!

I think they're gorgeous, too. They strike me as more angular than the Riedels. One of the articles I linked to in the description discusses the findings that angular shapes tend to increase the perception of sourness in a drink (vs. rounded shapes increasing the perception of fruitiness). It would be interesting to see if that effect would hold true between those two glasses. So, if you happen to be looking for a controlled research study to do... there it is. Cheers!

The Unknown Winecaster I’m just starting to venture into the fortified wine world and I’m curious as to why you use a different glass for Sherry and port. I would assume a similar style glass would be appropriate but after watching your cast it seems like it doesn’t matter as much. Lol

Thanks! And judging by how nice a guy you are, I think your Govino is safe with you! ;^) Cheers!

It's more like, "based on how clumsy I am, I'm only safe with Govino." Haha

Not that I know of, though I've never let the shape of the glass get between me and the amount of gulping that I do. P.S., you have a new subscriber to your channel.

More seriously, there's definitely a relationship between being able to gulp/chug, etc. and the convergence of the rim -- the old-fashioned divergent rimmed glasses like the one in the video make it nearly impossible to drink quickly without spilling all over yourself; so, fast drinking (at least in polite company) has only been possible since the development of the convergent rim, but one convergent rim glass shouldn't be any different from another when it comes to the volume you can neatly consume per mouthful unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible).

zappoid1 "good wine should be consumed with respect." Excellent!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful. Best of luck on the CSW -- that was my first certification, and I found it tremendously valuable. The WSET is also a terrific curriculum; so, good luck there as well. Cheers!

The Unknown Winecaster Thank you , by the way, this next winter, you should do a program on Gluhwein (mulled wine) and the major varients like Glögg ect! Cheers!

Great suggestion! Thank you and cheers!

Thank you for taking the time to watch. Cheers!

I've actually been thinking of that for a while. I would also cover aspects of California wine history in the 20th Century that I didn't have space to tackle in my California Wine cast. Cheers!

Please do! I'm glad the video was helpful to you. Cheers on your excellent channel!

the weight of the glass (inertia) and wideness of the glass (air contact) might have played a role; brand would probably not be decisive here. Enjoy your glass anyways ;)

As well you should! They're beautiful, well designed glasses that should contribute a great deal to your experience. Since doing this cast I've started using my Riedel Burgundy glasses as my go-to glasses for everything, and I and my husband are having a great time. Remember, the mind is the most important sensory organ of them all. Cheers!

guy Haran, Riedel is my favorite stemware at the moment. I have always wanted to have a major tasting to confirm what you are suggesting here. But in my current experience, there isn't a need to own more than a handful of different glassware, Burgundy/Syrah-Riesling/ChampagneFlute as they would cover most needs. I mean, it's clearly a difference between drinking from a coffee mug and a crystal glass. Psychological or whatnot.

With that I’m gonna say a glass of wine should be enjoyed at the proper temperature in a clean odor free burgundy glass. With some ono grind’s of course!🤙🍷

So Unknown references controlled studies and you a) have an admitted bias and b) references only anecdotes? Yeah, I'm gonna go with Unknown's advice.

I believe you do not need more than 2 types of glasses, in the same way you only need two types of decanter depending if you need air or not. Wide or tight, air or no air, as simple as that.
