Mark Baulderstone (Managing Director at RIEDEL Australia and New Zealand) demonstrates why your choice of wine glass impacts your wine tasting experience. If you are spending money on a high quality wine, you are doing it an injustice if you are drinking it in the wrong wine glass. The wrong wine glass can impact the aroma, the taste, and the sensations on your palate. Mark also shares his wine journey and provides multiple tips on using glassware and decanters. Thank you Mark for enlightening us all on the importance of glassware. The wine glass you use matters!
