Alex already guessed this. An INAO glass is an ISO glass. And the diameter of one of them is 60mm unless I'm mistaken. So, no.LGTrotter wrote: An ISO tasting glass?

An IVDP tasting glass - the one with the square stem and the annoying thumb indentation.
Re: One quiz at a time
Posted: 13:44 Tue 05 Nov 2013
Correct. I find the indentation can be used for all sorts of fingers. But I think it would actually work better lower down the stem; that way you could hold the base of the glass as well, which is useful when you want to swirl the port. Hmm. I find the bowl of these very nice, larger than my standard ISO glasses, finer, with a less pronounced rim; but the square stem is... unusual.AHB wrote:An IVDP tasting glass - the one with the square stem and the annoying thumb indentation.

For the record, AHB was correct twice. The square-stemmed Sandeman-branded tasting glasses he guessed earlier are, in fact, IVDP tasting glasses.

OK. My question is a simple one. Which vintage port do I have in my glass this evening?

Yes, but I think it wasn't his turn. Or he was being coy. Or something. I knew they were IVDP glasses; but there was some sort of reason why I couldn't give it then.......Glenn E. wrote:For the record, AHB was correct twice.

I guess that technically the answer now is "nothing", but no-one has guessed that as their answer so I am going to change the question to be "What vintage port did I have in my glass at the time I posed my previous question?"
So far DRT has guessed the correct vintage (2011) and while in the right sort of ball park with his shipper guess, it was not Quevedo.
No-one else has guessed the right shipper yet either.

No, no, no and no, but keep going through the smaller producers - and take a look at who I thought produced the better ports in 2011.

No, though the home-made card I received with the (home-made) cake was; the shape of the cake is not port-related.DRT wrote:The shape of a port bottle.
