Port Glasses Test

[Tom]

anyone tried this, even if it´s not the classic port shape?

He claims it would be good for any alcoholic beverage.

Only in restaurants and only for table wines. They've then seemed perfectly fine but I think you need quite a lot of wine in the glass to get the full funneling of the aromas because of their effectively flat bottoms. Are they very inexpensive? That seems to be the implication of the website.

Since starting to drink port regularly at the Bunghole (where we use their standard (white?) wine glasses), i must admit i have found myself beginning to prefer drinking from a glass with a much larger bowl than the Reidel Vinum Port or the S-Z, and when drinking at home have gradually found my own pair of Reidels (Vinum Port and Overture White) overlooked in favour of a standard white wine glass.

So when i noticed the size and shape of the new BBR port glass, i ordered a couple to see if they would fit the bill. First impressions are very good - i can see this becoming my go-to glass for home drinking.
