Most Wanted
Win a bottle of Red Wine FREE !
Ok, so its been more than 4 weeks now and my search for the ISO standard Wine Glass refuses to come to an end. After 24 glassware stores, 12 general stores (big ones mind you) and 4 malls later, that perfect glass still seems to elude my fingers. It seems as though Bangaloreans don't really want to enjoy their wine. This is inspite of a prime vineyard (Grover Vineyards) just at the outskirts.
For the uninitiated, the glass needs to be of that specific shape for the enhancement of the wines' features. Each wine is judged by the four human senses : Sight, Smell, Taste, and Touch. More on this in a future blog. Needless to say, most wines are swirled before putting your lips to the elixir. This swirl is performed in order to check for the amount of alcohol (in most cases there is) or for the presence of sugar syrup (absent in present day wines). If a thick viscous trasparent liquid sticks to the sides of the glass after the mandatory swirl, it shows the presence of alcohol. Depending on the viscosity, the alcohol content can be determined. Getting back to the topic, the shape of the glass ensures the wine does not spill during the swirling process.
As I send this blog out to the digital world, I am hoping that another Bangalorean would come across this blog and help me find this most wanted entity. You guys know where to reach me. All the best, Oh! I almost forgot about the reward: Anyone who could help me locate that perfect wine glass would be entitled to a free bottle of Red Wine. Any takers?
