The fashion in wine glasses is for them to be varietal, which means that the shape of each glass is
specifically designed to enhance the flavor and aroma of that type of wine. It also means that connoisseurs have to buy
a lot more stemware if they want to have the best experience with their favorite wine. A new type of glass, the Zafferano Esperienze glass, promises to
be the ultimate in wine tasting. These glasses are varietal and come in 15 different shapes. The rippling at
the base of each glass is designed to allow the wine to develop its optimal flavor by giving it maximum exposure to the
surface of the glass.
The glasses were recently recommended by David Rosengarten (who loved them) and mentioned in the New York Times, so perhaps there is more to their design than just hype. They are $29.99 for four and will be available at Macy's, followed by Bloomingdale's and Bed, Bath & Beyond, later this month.
