i am a full believer in glass shape for maximum aromatic's and attack on the palate, when i worked for the Reidel's first distributor in NY the glass's were put to the test at the office, one bottle of great Burgundy was poured side by side with a great Bordeaux in both the Burg and Bordeaux glass, there was no contest in the proper glass the wine excelled, i went on to tell collector's that "if they bought a set of all the Reidel's they a) bought them selfs a complete new cellar or b) moved thier cellar from coach to first class".....to this day we still test them but they work and some are interchangable, like traditional (not modern) barolo rock's in the burgundy glass, northern Rhone syrah is great in the Bordeaux glass etc.....
