The only thing I noticed was that it drank sweeter and almost thicker. I went home and purchased the same bottle and drank from a thimble like child's glass and that was very different. I'll have to invest in real port glassware since I seem to be take a glass or two every few days after work.

Reidel is the most popular fine port glass in USA. Libby makes a nice small red wine glass that looks just like the Reidel at just a couple of dollars. The main difference is the Libby has a rolled edge and Reidel is cut, but they are similar profiles which is the most important factor.

Does a rolled edge make a difference in any way?

btw thanks for the info.

Yes. I suggest that everyone pour the same wine into different glasses and judge for yourself.

If you ever questioned whether a good glass can make wine taste better. I'll bet you on that one all day long.

The nose will be dramatically different, as will the taste and delivery. A port glass deliver the perfect amount each sip. As does a Red Burgundy or Chablis glass does.

The whole experience and pleasure of wine is dramatically effected by stemware.

Moses is wise. The shape and construction of the glass will add to the experience. The actual chemical qualities of the glass seems to be less important. Both Crate and Barrell and Pier 1 Imports have several lines of glasses in different price ranges.

You'll have to get by Camber first. If you come by for a port night, I will give you a couple to take home.
