For years you’ve been told that the wine glass makes the difference.  Brands such as Riedel have built an entire industry based on wine glassware, and it’s not the tacky, tiny 60s glasses your parents got as wedding presents on a dusty high kitchen shelf.

No, you’ve been told that wine glasses must be thin, they must be huge, they must be made of the finest crystal, otherwise all that money you spent in the Trader Joe’s imported aisle went to hell.

And on top of that, a Bordeaux glass is different from a Beaujolais glass, with different glassware for reds, whites, champagnes, dessert, and so on.

All of this seems very expensive, not to mention the cabinet space needed.

But according to Jancis Robinson, the Queen’s wine expert (because of course she has one), you really only need one glass.

Robinson has designed a single glass that can handle red wines, white wines, and yes, even champagne.

The price?  Around $56, but not bad if you’re buying one glass for the rest of your life. 

And the best part?  It’s designed to fit in the dishwasher.

Cheers to that.
