NAPA VALLEY, Calif. – January 30, 2009 – For decades, innovations in stemware have strived to enhance, and even revolutionize the wine tasting experience for novices and connoisseurs alike. This year, the Revelation Glass takes center stage as the latest, most technically advanced, competition level glass ever made for evaluating and scoring wines. Designed using time-honored glass blowing techniques, and engineered to reveal even the most subtle flavors and aromas in any wine, the Revelation Glass challenges popular notions about wine tasting, and brings volatilization to the forefront of wine tasting trends in 2009.

“There’s a difference between wine drinking and wine tasting, and the Revelation Glass clearly etches the line between the two with its unique, unparalleled design that combines art and engineering,” said Ty Mays, marketing representative for the Revelation Glass. “While wine aerators and decanters have made the wine tasting experience more pleasurable for novices and connoisseurs for many years, the Revelation Glass raises the standards of wine tasting, and brings out the true aromas and flavors of wine like no other product currently on the market.”

The Revelation Glass reveals more of the flavors and nuances in wine than any other glass manufactured in wine’s 7,000-year history. Vastly different from other stemware, the hole in the curved pipette of the glass volatizes (hyper-oxygenates) wine at the point of consumption amplifying the phenolic compounds of the wine. The process allows the taster to analyze all of the flavors present in the wine in a more thorough and controlled manner than other glasses or methods used by competition judges, such as the reverse whistle technique.

“When evaluating and scoring wines, it’s important to taste the wine without bias,” said Mays. “The Revelation Glass accelerates, amplifies and accentuates the flavors, and facilitates a more accurate examination of the wine. The advanced and unique design of the glass helps judges more keenly identify not only the positive attributes of the wine, but also any existing flaws.”

In addition to revealing more flavors found in the wine, the Revelation Glass allows tasters to taste more wines without palate fatigue, the stage at which all of the wines begin to taste the same.

While designed for wine tasting competitions, the Revelation Glass can also be used by everyday consumers to experience wine like never before. Consumers will be impressed by the way the glass reveals more flavors, especially when paired with food. Additionally, the glass possess the durability for everyday commercial use and yet makes an elegant addition to any home cellar.

“The Revelation Glass enlivens the wine tasting experience, and enlightens the taster,” said Mays. “The glass marks a new generation in stemware, and delivers a new, and exciting way for both connoisseurs and novices to enjoy wine.”
