IVP Official Port Wine Glass

Marco D. · Post by **Marco D.** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 3:56 pm

I am looking into buying some serious port stems and found various opinions on the IVP Official Port Wine Glass in the archives of this forum from about a year ago.

With a year gone by, any new or revised opinions on this stem?

I have a few, but I'm not using them very often. I prefer biger glass. My favorite is Spiegelau expert glass. You can see one there :

The subject has been debated too in a previous topic, some like a lot the Riedel series.

I like it a lot, and use it from time to time. I also use glasses from Schott Zwiesel (the vinum series), they resemble the IVDP glasses a lot, but are slightly bigger.

Does anyone know if there is an online source for purchasing the Speigelau Expert Port Glasses. I looked around but couldn't find any.

I found the Speigelau Vino Grande, but I assume it is not the same thing.

I have bought mine at this wine acessories shop in Canada. Their website is in French only though.

I'm not sure if they can ship to USA. If you need more information, ask me, the owner is a good friend.

By the way, these are not Port glass. These are just the INAO of the Spiegelau series, the glass for every wines. But in my opinion, it is the best I've tried to taste Port.
