Name of product: Breathable Wine Glasses (Set Of 2) – Eisch

Price: £23.99

The blurb: “Now, everyone knows that red wine needs to be left to breath before its drunk and swilled around in the glass to oxygenate it first. There’s a really fascinating (no, really…) scientific reason for this, but we won’t go into it here. If you’re a wine aficionado, you’ll almost certainly already know what it is, and if not, well, just take our word for it!

2-4 minutes in the Breathable Glass will be equivalent to 1-2 hours in a normal wine glass!

However, it sometimes takes quite a while for wine to reach its peak levels of oxygenation and if you’re thirsty, or perhaps serving different courses with dinner, or just plain impatient to get at some of that really good stuff and to enjoy it at its best, here’s a clever solution.

These ingenious wine glasses have undergone a special oxygenising treatment to give the glass the unique ability to aerate your wine far, far more quickly than a normal glass will. So now there’s no need to wait for your wine to reach its peak. It can be poured straight from a recently opened bottle and will be perfectly oxygenated in just a few minutes.

An ideal gift or treat for wine buffs!”

First impressions: I must admit that I despise gimmicks, and as someone who is proud of her stock of Riedel, I did not initially read a word of the blurb above… I looked these up online after the first time I used my new Eisch glasses and I was quickly engrossed what I found – look them up…

They are just two wine glasses, they look normal – “What is the point?”, was my initial reaction!

Ease of Use: I am actually incredibly impressed. These glasses transform the experience of drinking wine. They certainly intensify and amplify they taste. As someone who normally ploughs through a half a bottle as though it is water (does wine o’clock sound familiar anyone?), I can report that these glasses have cut down my consumption of wine dramatically! I now sip my wine, and thoroughly enjoy the flavours, I am no longer pretending, in order to impress my darling husband!

If I am thirsty, I will fill a tumbler of water.

This is positive on so many levels, the first of which is that wine has a calorie content and these glasses ensure that I now enjoy my wine drinking in a completely different way. I have cut my consumption to a third of what it was – I kid you not!

Pros: These glasses will transform your drinking experience, and thus help you to fine tune your figure and care for your liver! They reduce the amount of wine you drink!

Cons: I can’t think of one! I am giving these to everyone I know this Christmas and I am buying at least another four myself!

Value for money:. They are actually saving me a fortune! Great value – and not in a silly Sunday supplement catalogue way! I am really tasting and savouring my vino!
