I Need Some of These
Axel,
Where can I buy these? I have to have some, they are too lovely to contemplate not having.

Nice shape, shame about the print
Derek,
They do have a great shape to them, but do you really want that logo sprawling all over your port? I reckon better to get the ones before the etching ruins them...

oops
I did subsequently spot the photo on Axel's messages - Axel, my apologies, and no offence meant. Very rude of me. I thought Derek had found them on some website or another and forwarded for a group order.
I do still think the plain ones are nicer, though. I hope that doesn't mean we can still be friends!

Just before you all take this as a given... Please look at, and experience the new IVDP glass.
I've got some and use them regularly, and they are to big! Apologies, but I like the indentation to place your finger on, but they are bigger than the ones you are used to.
You might decide they are superb, and the way forward. But just try them first,
Alan

Ronnie,
I looked at Schott Zwiesel's web site and they don't show the IVDP approved glasses. I do hope they are making them and that they send them to the US.
Alan,
To disagree, they are the proper size for a port glass. Most other wine glasses are too small or way to big. I fell in love with them last year and brought some home. After using them for a year, I think they are one of the best glasses out there for Port. Of course, we all have our likes and dislikes and if you don't like it, I'll make you like it... I think that is the George Bush way of doing things

Fair enough. I'll accept a lot of you guys like them, and they are probably the right size. I just like the previous size, but wish they had the indentation in the stem.
If you like them even bigger, like Ronnie, your getting awfully close to Wine Tasting glasses. But of course, that's all down to personal opinion.

Found them on the website (click - the rightmost glass). It is marketed in their "Bar Professional" line.RonnieRoots wrote:Andy, I'll ask around at the shop where they are supposed to be selling them. It could be that it is a restaurant line only.

Yeah, I really do like them. I will admit when i first tried them last year I wasn't keen on them. After a couple days using them I fell in love with them. They must be decent, or there is major pressure from someone to use them, because all the places we visited this year used them, expect for the Taylor/Fonseca bunch.
