Wine is an alcoholic beverage typically made of fermented grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. This interesting fact is one of the reasons why wine has such a prevalent role in the development of civilizations around the world. The magic of wine for early civilizations is directly related to the fact that airborne yeast were the catalysts behind the fermenting process. The ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians didn’t know HOW bread leavened and wine fermented. They just knew that something magical happened when wine and dough were left exposed to the air. Fast forward to today and interestingly, scientists estimate that we have only identified 1% of all of the yeast in the world.
Getting back to wine, the magic of wine (and it’s intoxicating effects on the imbiber) connects enthusiasts across millennia, civilizations and continents. It seems that the human race continues to discover new things about wine as we continue to enhance and improve on the production of the extraordinary beverage. It has been said that because wine has more organic compounds it is in many respects, a more complex liquid than the blood serum that courses through our veins. One of the more significant discoveries in the last few decades has been the realization by wine experts that pouring wine into a properly shaped glass will greatly affect the taste of it. While nearly everyone finds this fact difficult to believe in the beginning, we have met few who doubt the veracity of this claim after they try the same wine in different glasses. The difference in taste can be just that dramatic.
We don’t believe that there is a proper glass for red, white or rosés, you simply have to try different wines in different glasses until you discover the combination that works best for you. When you get a chance, please take a tour of our store. You will see fine stems offered by the some of the world’s leading manufacturers. Our glasses are selected based on their design and their function so we think that you’ll be pleased with any selection that you make.
