More from Georg Riedel on Wine Glasses

Georg Riedel creates wine glasses that he says improve the taste of wine.  There are plenty of skeptics.  After all, glass is glass . . . or is it?    

"We would be out of business if not everyone who has a good sense for taste and smell could not tell the difference - so you don't have to be a wine expert.

"It is something that is important which everyone who enjoys wine knows about it because with the right glass you definitely are able to enhance your wine experience . . . and we believe that by controlling the flow of the wine completely to the palette is the reason why it makes a difference." 

So, Georg, what do you say to the person who is just learning about wine?

"Don't be intimidated."

A glass can make a difference.  Try your favorite wines in different glasses - maybe even buy one special glass for comparison.  You may find a whole new taste in that familiar bottle.

Pop the cork!
