Stumbled across the Riedel outlet on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/crystal...7jQAAOSwONBZCp2k&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
Yes it's still expensive but at least a little more palatable than normal retail outlets. PayPal payment was sent to a domain name linked to Riedel Aust so it should be the real deal. $40 for 6 Vinum Riesling....can't resist.
In the video, one of the criticisms he makes of in bottle solutions is that their is air in the bottle. Using a solution the forces one out by inserting argon means no new air. Obviously a consumable.
This solution has much more initial exposure to air in the whole decanting process. Then, each time you want to pour some wine, there is huge air exposure. So the arguments don't seem scientificly sound to me.
Yep a real vintage QF Boeing one think 727, still has the factory plates on it, its 20 years old, was on its way to the tip years ago, mate gave it to me, we had to do a lot of panel beating and fixing the trolley wheels, could not get the coating off as it as so worn, even pro sand blasters wouldn't touch it, so sanded it as best we could and used a special vinyl over it, looks like grey steel, got the QF stickers in the USA and the draws from Germany eBay (various airlines), its sure unique and people ask about it all the time or want to buy it.

I rest my case:Arent they just spectacular! We are currently in Majorca enjoying them on a daily basis.
I rest my case:

Edit: Std G & T in Spain 50ml Gin and add 200ml Tonic Water. Perfect additions to Bombay Sapphire are:
1. Slice of lemon
2. Twist of lime peel
3. 4 to 5 Juniper berries
4. 4 to 5 red peppercorns
Drink slowly if at all possible!

Was browsing kickstarter the other day and another decanter/preserver has popped up.

nice find, though postage cost is a negative
CRACKER for 15% off $75+ spend ends tonight
Not quite as nice as my glasses.
Why in Gods name would you think of me - maybe the Devil, but I fail to see any resemblance

Yes that's what I was reminded ofIf you are meaning the goblets with blue bands around the middle (photos of which haven't graced these ages for years - you have a good memory); they are special...
