I posted a link to Rusty’s column below regarding proper wine glass use on, you guessed it, Facebook. Here are the very latest results:
Do you like the right wine glass with your wine or would anything do?

It HAS to be the right glass for the wine, I’ve become a real wine glass snob!

This story is about the right glass for the right wine. Another post, by Michael Perlis, does talk about bringing your own wine glasses to a restaurant.

well…susie. I’d have to agree the right glass does help make the wine. I have to admit, I do like my wine to be served properly in the right glass. However, with that said, some of my most fondest wine memories don’t involve a glass at all. Like the time got so cold camping in Morro Bay that we packed everything up that we could, put the kids to bed in the tent and stood around the campfire passing the wine bottle while having the time of our lives.

While I’m not as picky as Rusty, I think a high quality glass is important. Need a bowl big enough for swirling, and thin rims.

For me, I’d have to see it is more the occasion/event/memory than my choice of glassware. Unless I am writing about the wine…then God help me…I have to focus on the wine and not the people around it. Life is so hard!

While agree, the moment, company, etc. adds to the taste of the wine, a great wine in a bad glass ruins the flavor of the wine, and I’ve had that proven to me; even a less expensive wine in the correct glass can improve the taste of the wine.

A bad glass, agreed. [That’s why I often bring my own.] But there are plenty of adequate glasses that do in a pinch. And the company is what makes it for me.

My pet peeve? The wrong glass filled to the brim. Those little cut crystal wine glasses. I can’t swirl or smell. I finally trained one friend to pour me only one third and she thinks I’m insane…she may be right.

Now this is where I told them I was turning this into a blog post and quickly went offline before they could hit those handy “delete” keys. Care to comment? You can do it here or on Facebook!
These just came in:

I didn’t even mention the wine glasses that have advertisements or decorations painted on them where one cannot visually enjoy the visual beauty of the wine. Same holds true for colored wine glasses. I agree with Mike about the large bowl and thin rim. It has a definite effect on opening up the wine. The only other option is to decant.
