Silver Plated Tastevin Cellarmans Wine Tasting Tool

Tastevin Wine Tasting Tool. 

Silver Plated Tastevin Cellarman's Wine Tasting Cup with attached Chain.

• Design: 3 1/4 inches in diameter and about 7/8 inch deep, designed with a small handle for holding and a thumb rest. Comes complete with clasp and 41" chain.

• Purpose: The dimpled surface acts as a mirror, allowing for the analysis of wine color and clarity. The central "bubble" indicates the proper pour level, while smaller, surrounding bubbles help aerate the wine.
• Usage: The sommelier uses the tastevin to quickly inspect the wine’s appearance, smell, and taste to ensure its quality before serving.
• Symbolism: It remains a recognized, professional, and often decorative symbol of the  sommelier profession.
