"Eisch provided a sample glass for each judge at our Riverside International Wine Competition and two judges tested them side-by-side with non breathable stems and reported a noticeable difference. We also tested them non-scientifically at home and found that they worked well, and were always beneficial”.

We’ve all heard the expression, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” To say I was skeptical was an understatement. In front of my eyes Matthew Levy of Balzac Communications opened a bottle of 2004 Arrowood Sonoma County reserve chardonnay and poured some into two glasses - one was the so-called breathable glass and the other a standard wine glass, both made by the same company, Eisch, a German stemware producer.
I swirled the regular glass, then the breathable glass, and stuck my nose into each — there was a difference. The wine in the breathable glass was fruitier. Then I tasted the two. Same thing — it was fruitier.
Then a 2005 Hartford Court Sonoma Coast vineyard-designated pinot noir was poured. Again, both the aroma and taste were fruitier in the breathable glass. The clincher was the third wine poured, a 2004 Stonestreet Christopher’s cabernet sauvignon. Not only was it fruitier, but the tannins were greatly softened in the breathable glass. A word of caution, however. The breathable glass doesn’t work miracles on every wine — it won’t turn a bad wine into a good one.
