Some people say you need loads of different wine glasses. Others say you need just one kind (known as "universals"). There"s money, reputation, even relationships on the line here. So what"s the answer?! In this episode we share significant new research by Jackie Ang MW, hot off the press, that answers two key questions. Firstly, do different wine glasses make you taste and rate a wine differently? Secondly, which work better: "universal" wine glasses, or grape-variety-specific glasses? We also hear strong views from two big hitters in the wine glass world: 11th-generation Austrian glassmaker Maximilian Riedel and renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson MW, co-creator of the "Jancis" glass. Of course we also share our views on the matter, to help guide you through a subject that can be as complex and headache-inducing as a night on the fine wine. Along the way we touch on golf clubs, blindfolds, jet engines, shoe collections,  Marie Kondo - and how a measuring tape could help save you money... Thanks for tuning in.
