In this episode, Zack, Liv, and Tom dive into the psychology of wine glasses. Can the shape, brand, and style of a wine glass really improve the drinking experience? Or is it only for the aesthetic?

They assess the facts and put them to the test with an experiment in the Forkful Kitchen. Although it’s fair to say they won’t be taking up jobs as wine experts any time soon…

Charles Cornelius, owner of Barks Wine Shop in Sheffield, also shares his thoughts about what to look for in an ideal wine glass.

Lastly, the trio hear some strange food confessions from the Forkful Hotline – including one listener with a very unusual pasta habit. You can send in your voice notes to forkfulmag@gmail.com ✉️
