FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Does glass shape matter?
Yes — a tulip-shaped bowl concentrates aromas at the nose. A wide Bordeaux glass for big reds, a narrower one for whites. Good stemless glass is fine; a red cup is not.
Waiter's corkscrew over electric?
Yes — a waiter's friend is compact, never out of battery, and gives you a foil cutter and bottle opener in one. The tool sommeliers actually carry.
Decant — when?
Young reds, to aerate and open them up (an hour); old reds, to separate sediment (gently, just before serving). Whites and most daily wines need none.
A tasting notebook?
Yes — memory is unreliable. A few words per glass (fruit, acid, tannin, score) builds a palate faster than any course.

Wine tasting and my cocktail bar share the measure-and-note religion — glass shape and a tasting notebook are the jigger-and-scale of wine.
