So I was thinking more about the glasses thread, and thought perhaps I'd see where people stood on the glass preference (for Port). I started with a selection from my cabinet of some unadorned representatives of different sizes/shapes. I haven't any stemless Riedel, but I've added it to the poll for those who prefer it. (750 bottle for size reference, port glass is from Ferreira )
From left to right (then "other")
Glasses, continued

Great - two Port obsessives claiming the other is a geek. Apparently, Mussolini reckoned Hitler was a bit of a Fascist.AHB wrote:This comment coming from the man who prints his own labels for bottles he acquires that are just bare glass!Derek T. wrote:What AHB really means is

Port is basically a red drink
