Unglazed Clay Wine Goblets
In the olden days...before history began, primitives, tent people and nomads the world over discovered that if you didn't drink up the juice from squashed grapes before the expiry date, a miraculous transformation occurred. Early revelers stored their wines in the only containers ready at hand...unglazed earthenware pots. They were unaware that their crude vessels absorbed acid from wine, allowing the rich fullness of its flavours to emerge. Little could they imagine that future developments for the purpose of storing and serving their favourite libation would, in fact, detract from its flavour! Through millennia of diddling...most cultures have forgotten that wine served in unglazed earthenware tastes ever-so-much smoother and significantly more savoury than wine served in such upgrades as glazed crockery, glass or metalware. Now, with these unglazed cups, you too, can discover that ancient secret to eliminating the acid edge of wine, while preserving its robust flavour. from Indra Dosanjh with permission. |
