Think of the Vinum Burgundy glass as allowing you to see what the wine in your bottle really was meant to taste like. The Vinum Burgundy glass is excellent for full-bodied red wines with high acidity and moderate tannin. This glass directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thereby highlighting the rich fruit and tempering the high acidity of the wine. The large bowl captures all the nuances of the wine’s aroma. Recommended for: Barbaresco, Barbera, Barolo, Burgundy (red), Gamay, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir.

We love the Global knives from Japan because they are so high tech! The blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and “face-ground” with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. This makes a great gift for cheese lovers and entertainers.
