Have to say, I’m not impressed with that article. Is there any actual evidence that most of what they claim is true, or is it a ad-in-disguise for Reidel? They make passing references to different tastes on different parts of the tongue (tongue taste maps are myth…) and make all types of claims about why different wine varietals need different shapes. The alcohol world is full of myths and wive’s tales – shouldn’t some critical thought be put into them? Perhaps there are a few good reasons for certain glasses, but I’m quite sure a number of the things that article claims are hogwash.
