A Quick History of the Wine Glass |

The Pleistene age saw the Iberians and later the Britons using baked clay goblets to drink from. The Phoenicians taught the Britons to make a copper alloy giving rise to the Bronze age, timber and bronze tankards came into existence. The Romans introduced silver and pottery goblets characterised by (in the early days of the Roman Empire) by ornate scroll work of pairs of leaves with buds. The Romans also produced some lead goblets. |

Once you have found the wine whose taste thrills you, the thing to do is run, don't walk, to the same store where you got it, and buy a few more bottles from the same lot. This is good advice because if you wait a few months to buy another bottle, it may not taste the same. Remember that few wineries are able to supply unchanging flavor and aroma in their products from month to month, much less from year to year. |
