• Sixteen hundred milliliters, the largest body on this shelf — 850 ml of air above a poured bottle
• A wide mouth stated for cleaning, which is the thing that goes wrong with a narrow-necked decanter after a month
• Seven bullets of near-pure marketing prose — "a symphony of taste sensations" — around three facts

Best for: The most air above the wine on this shelf, and a mouth wide enough to actually clean

• Six ounces is a proper tasting glass: the other flight set on this shelf gives 16 oz carafes, which is a drink and not a sample
• Two boards rather than one, so eight people taste at once or two tables run side by side
• The chalkboard labels come without chalk, stated plainly, on a $54.99 gift set

Best for: Eight tasting pours at once, labeled, if you remember to buy chalk

• The only item on this shelf with a published preparation time — two hours or more in the freezer or the fridge
• Stemless and gel-walled, so a glass of champagne stays cold to the last mouthful without an ice bucket on the table
• A stemless glass is held in the hand, and a hand is 98 °F — the gel is working against your palm, which is why the silicone band exists

Best for: Champagne or prosecco that has to stay cold on a warm afternoon with no bucket in sight
