Snooth is a terrific wine website that we have recommended on several occasions.  They are currently running a great article “How to Spot A Great Wine List” by Editor Greg Dal Piaz, with seven ways to identify whether a restaurant is serious about it’s wines.

Tabletop (and wine) fans are going to like the first (of the seven) indicator  listed: Glassware

The quality of the glassware often is an indicator or the quality of the wines on the list, according to Snooth. Here’s what Snooth has to say:
“Check out the glassware they’re offering. Are the wine glasses crappy little goblets or worse? Don’t go by what’s behind the bar; there are reasons for using more durable glassware in a bar setting. But check out what glasses are being used for other tables, keeping in mind that some establishments break out better glasses for better wines. A policy I can believe in.”

Seems like the message is ….if you want your wine list to be viewed as serious…..make sure you have the right glassware so that your guests can truly enjoy the wines that you offer. Go to Snooth and read the entire article, you’ll be glad you did.
