What tasting glasses are available these days?

Post by Eric Menchen »

I have some IVDP glasses. I know a bunch of people on the forum here bought Marjorie Lumm glasses a while back, but that business seems to be defunct now. I'm primarily looking for a U.S. answer, but I'll consider others: What glasses are you using, or would you buy today, if you wanted to get a large number of glasses for Port tasting?

At the moment I was considering these:

If just for tasting, I like the iso glasses. For drinking, white wine glasses.

IIRC Stewart still has access to the Marjorie Lumm-style glasses, and they're still ridiculously inexpensive.

ISO glasses are quite effective for group tastings. I am now in love with Gabriel glasses. One glass to fit them all, it works!

Those Gabriel glasses look nice, but I am looking for something for a group tasting, which makes the Gabriel a bit impractical for storage and cost.

$49 for 12 is a great price. If I didn't already have 100+ IDVP's I'd go for the RONA INAO/ISO Tasting Glass - pack of 12.

ISO for group tastings as they are just easier to use.

I prefer a smaller white wine glass, but these are harder to get decent ones cheaply in quantity.

I tend to use the Zalto Universal glass (white wine).

For tastings I use the IVDP quite a few.
