ISO Wine Glass
The thread "Where to buy basic stemware?" got me thinking. I know this
topic is spent, but went back to some of my old books. "ACADEMIE DU VIN COMPLETE WINE COURSE" by Steven Spurrier and Michel Dovaz (1983! God, I'm old..) . The glass they describe is: Total Height: 155mm +- 5 Bowl Height: 100mm +- 2 Base and stem height: 55 mm +- 3 Diameter of top: 46mm +- 2 Diameter of bowl at its widest: 65 mm +- 2 Thickness of stem: 9mm +- 1 Diameter of base: 65mm +- 1 Total capacity: 215ml +- 10 Tasting quantity: 50ml |

If anything they accentuate any flaws. |

If >anything they accentuate any flaws. Pat Simon in Wine-Tasters' Logic describes a similar glass. Surface-Tension theory or something like that. |

Broadbent's reviews were pure poetry. My two favorite wine writers at the time were Broadbent and a guy named Gerald Asher. |

I have used ISO's for 30 years for tastings and everyday slurping, they are
tough and longlasting.....16 quid in UK for 6. For "proper" wines, I am afraid you cannot beat Riedels, " you pays your money etc" JT No report from Solihull Fine Wine society this month as I missed last nights Madeira tasting because of gut rot after an iffy pub sandwich> |
