For The Love Of Port

Two ways. If I just want a single glass - normal if I'm travelling overseas - then it goes into a cut-down Quinta do Noval wooden single bottle box that is lined with foam rubber.

If I need more glasses then they go into a special insert into my pilot case that I made, which consists of foam rubber with holes cut into it that allows me to insert the glasses vertically.

Roy has an aluminium briefcase which looks far more professional than my effort - along the lines of a photographers case. You open up the lid and sitting in specially sized holes in the soft lining are the glasses you need.

I've also seen ISO glasses being carried in sealed cardboard tubes that are specially sized to hold them safely.

I’ve failed to find this at www.winex.com: please, is there a link?

NOt sure why their website doesn't show it. I will try and find out from them later today. I was also wrong, it holds 5 (not 4 as I mentioned earlier).

Here is a picture of the real Riedel bag, the one Winex has looks identical (just without the name on the front.) and is $40 cheaper.

I'll let you know.
