Wrinkly bottoms are best

By Paul Fulford on Mar 30, 08 01:16 PM

Wrinkly bottoms have seldom held much appeal....until now.

I bought a few bits and pieces yesterday from Red Robs, the kitchen and catering equipment shop in Holloway Head. While I was there its owner Kevin Roberts gave me two Italian-made wine glasses with ridged bottoms.

I was a bit sceptical when he said the waves set up by the indentations when swirling wine in the glass improved the taste. But the flavour of a bottle of very pleasant Argentinian syrah I opened last night really was enhanced by the glasses. I was impressed.So much so that I felt the need to experiment with further bottles and today have the hangover from hell.

No more smooth bottoms for me from now on.
