With all the extra time I have had to ponder the finer points of Zoom (that didn’t take long!) and all else that is going on in the world, I thought it best to avail myself of the appropriate glassware for such methodical mental meandering.
Right on time I was presented with the Neat glass.
Instead of focusing just on superficial form, Neat is a function-first glass that is specially shaped to release the maximal enjoyment out of your favorite mature beverages. With a necked-down shape and flared rim, Neat diverts the nose-numbing ethanol in alcoholic drinks away from the nose, allowing the subtler aroma and flavor elements to emerge and be fully enjoyed. Not only is a great glass to try new drinks, it can also reintroduce you to old favorites in an exciting (and, dare I say, intoxicating) new way! It also prevents your nose from passing out before the last sip, making every glass as enjoyable as the first.
So while I still get a charge when someone looks at my extensive souvenir glassware collection and says “neat glass,” I am more confident in my choices now that I have the Neat glass!
