I will admit, I’ve been a huge fan of Riedel. I use the Chianti and Riesling glass for my tasting exams, and I have a number of the varietal specific glasses. The main reason why I have them, is there is a difference in the aromas that come off of the wine based on the glassware used.
Now having said that, I know enough about beer that there is specific glasses used based on the type of beer one is served. So I am very scared that my husband might find out that Spiegelau is now doing beer specific glassware. I guess the big saving grace is that it’s not Riedel, but I think Riedel owns Spiegelau. Hmm.
Well, the cat’s out of the bag now–if you don’t want me to know, don’t post about it where you know I’ll read it!
The good news is we probably don’t have room in the cabinets for more glassware right now…
