Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc

DOES the glass you drink from effect the taste of the wine?

The Austrian glassware company Riedel conducted some tastings recently to illustrate just how much influence glass can have on a wine.

Riedel make a wine glass for every classic grape variety and wine style as well as for most spirits — they even stock a Jaegermeister glass! The company also make some of the most exotically shaped wine decanters I have ever seen. They start at around €45 but you can also spend up to €470 for the Eve decanter which is a metre tall and looks a little like a rattle-snake poised to strike.
