That's what Georg J. Riedel, the maker of Riedel wine glasses told a crowd recently. The question has been fermenting for a while now. Does the glass make the wine taste better? Riedel will tell you the shape of the glass matters, but lets face it, he's a bit biased.Here is something you wouldn't expect him to say though... he hates the stemless tumblers (pictured on right) called the O line. He also doesn't care for beer even though his company sells beer glasses.
If you prefer your wine straight out of the book, Riedel says his stemware will make your boxed wine taste even better. I know, that's hard to believe.
