What a story! A lot of people ask me about the Riedel vessels (glasses and decanters).I answer with another question: How much are you into wine? The other week I was very fortunate to meet GEORG JOSEF RIEDEL 10 th generation MAGICIAN. Very interesting lecture and presentation. He called it the seduction of the wine. The concept of perception of the intimate secret of wine, human nature dictates the choice in the quality (better for the people we love and want to impress).His vessels will not improve the quality of the wine only the way we perceive it. Since perception IS reality it changes YOUR reality. The sense of smell (the gateway to the soul) at least for wine, for other things may be the eyes, is primal, that is where the layered concept (head space) and the specific wine varietal make the determination for the size and shape of the vessel. It’s not what the glasses are made of or its thickness. The rest is history. YES, invest in the varietal specific glasses (you will save a lot of money on the wine). So let me summarize this for you, when it comes to wine there are some important things you should consider: 1. The company we drink with 2. The temperature the wine is served at 3. Color, flavor, texture of the wine 4. Varietal specific glasses
