Hi
I understand that professionals tend to use standardized glasses in order to
be consistent in their judgings. (Of course, other factors like light and
temperature must be within limits too)
Now, there is an international standard, INAO, if I remember correctly.

These Svalka glasses are close to that, I understand, and I use the red wine
ones myself for my whites at the summer cottage...

The Optima series are big glasses and I've found them very good too, using
the white wine glasses for my reds...! :-) They are expensiver, however (a
whopping 2$ each... and much more fragile than the Svalka so I handle them
with care)
