Guide To Buying Wine Glasses
July 27th, 2006 by Xavier MediaSetting Up Business On the Net is Getting Harder Each Day.
So many people claim they have “the answer”. So many scam artists are out there to take your money.
Take our case for example, my wife and I wanted to start a business in Import/Export Brokering. We searched for a reputable company to help us,and eventually thought we had found the ideal company.
They promised resources of brand name articles, at below wholesale cost,and a mentor program at our disposal, for at least the first 50 deals/sales.
We were delighted, but sceptical, so we checked with a Business Bureau, and got back a favourable report, we also checked out other clients that gave scripted reports, which were very favourable. (at the time we did not know they were scripted).
Wow, were we happy, and so we trustingly gave them $10,000 of our hard earned cash, for their program, thinking we were on our way to great success. But, you guessed it, the company is gone, and so is our money!
We were hurt, not only financially, but in our hearts we felt that we were the rubes being taken again. We thought we had done our due diligence, we thought we had a “safe bet”, after all, we did our homework.
We had no recourse, and no way of recovering our investment. We had zip!
I am sure that there are hundreds of stories like ours out there, people being scammed, everyday.
So, what do you do? Do you venture out into the big bad world of the Internet market place with no umbrella, no firm grip on your wallet, or, do you arm yourself with the proper knowledge?
Well, if you are smart, you will get the proper knowledge.
Okay, that sounds logical enough. But, where do you go? Who do you approach? How do you find your way through the maze?
Your best bet is to find someone who is already a success, has been successful, and still is successful, and growing strong. So you ask, “where do I find these successful people?”
There are hundreds and hundreds of “guru’s”, so which “guru” should you follow?
You need to target, and stay focussed on your search, find the person who, in the eye’s of the other “guru’s” is “The Main” person to follow. A good example of someone who has this kind of presence can be found at: http://www.MarketingManuscript.com/g.o/bambazonkie
When you find the person who you feel can give you what you are looking for, you would be wise to devour everything they say, and put into practise the thoughts and principles they suggest to create a successful, prosperous, online business. Remember, duplication is one of the keys to success.
If you do what the guru’s do, you too can succeed!
You’ve heard somewhere or read somewhere that wine must be served in the best crystal to get its full advantage, well not necessarily but there are a few basic principles to remember when choosing glasses that will help you get the best from your favorite bottle.
It is true however that the appearance, smell and even the taste can be enhanced by using the proper glasses. The oldest surviving wine glass with a stem and foot are 15th century enameled goblets that holds more than four ounces of liquid. Towards the end of the 16th century in Germany, wine glasses are sophistically engraved as decoration . Meanwhile The earliest surviving English wine glasses that were produced near the end of the 16th century were made by Verzelini, there were diamond-engraved. Around the 1740s plain straight stems and air twist stems gained popularity . France introduced fine crystal glasses towards the end of the 18th century.
Wine glasses during the 19th century were often produced in sets of a dozen each, each set for port and sherry, burgundy and claret, champagne glasses and liqueur glasses. In the 1950s, Riedel Crystal and other manufacturers have refined the design of wine glasses with unique size and shape for almost every wine variation.
When choosing glasses, always remember to first choose a plain glass to set off your best wines, stay away from colored or even those that have tinted stems or bases. The effect of light on the wine, specifically the “legs” and “tears’ on the inner wall when you swirl the wine and the way aromas are captured within the wine glass and finally presented to your nose while drinking are one of the most important things to consider when choosing wine glasses. Glasses with a wide bowl that tapers toward the mouth will allow the aroma of the wine to be released generously. This is because the deeper bowls allow more room for swirling and the narrow opening channels the aroma to your nostrils efficiently. A big flared opening will disperse the aroma rather quicker.
Red wines are traditionally served in bigger glasses than white wine, this is because red wines needs more space to breathe and develop, remember, a wine glass can never be too big. Sparkling wines should be served in think glasses with straight side or flutes so that the fizz is preserved.
Realizing the plight of budget restricted consumers, the California Wine Institute has developed an all-purpose wine glass. It is five and one half inches tall with a one and three quarter inch stem. Its clear, tulip-shaped bowl holds a capacity of up to eight ounces.
Setting of wine glasses at a dinner party should also be taken into consideration when serving different types of wine throughout each course. The glasses should be arranged in the order they are to be used and right to left. Typically wine is poured from the right, while food is served from the left. You might want to begin with tall stemmed glass for whites followed by a large wine goblet for reds and ending with short smaller glass for port or sherry. Finally remember that you need to leave room to capture the aroma as it rises from the swirled wine and allowing room for it to be tilted to evaluate the color of the wine, therefore it’s best to fill the wine glass at one third to one half full at the most.
