HERE'S HOW to choose Wine Glasses: Wine glasses should be crystal clear to give effect to the bright winking colours ofthe wine. They should be thin and of fine quaUty to do full justice to their contents and of generous size; it is better not to fill them to the brim but to aUow room for the retention of the bouquet. HERE'S HOW to select the best Vintages: Champagne—1917,1919, 1921, 1923, 1926, r928, 1929, 1933. Ports—1904, 1908, I9r2, 1917, r920, 1927, 1935. Hock and Moselle—192T, T929, r933, 1934, 1935. Bordeaux (Red&White)—1920,1923,1924,T928,1929, r933, 1934. Burgundy—1921,1923,1926,1929,1933. HERE'S HOW to draw a cork: Place the point of the corkscrew in the centre of the cork,twist it carefully down to the bottom (a cork is drawn outfrom the bottom and not half-way) and pull steadily, not with a jerk.
