"You eat with your eyes", as the saying goes. You have to imagine that figuratively! But that would only be a distraction, because today we're going to talk about the fact that the eye also drinks. Only in a figurative sense, of course, but a very strong one: wine was served from black glasses! The test laboratory: the Kastenmeier wine and champagne bar in the Taschenbergpalais. The test subjects: Journalists and influencers. The tasting was led by Gerd Kastenmeier, who, despite his Bavarian beer origins (his father was a brewer!), has spent decades learning about the world of wine and also produces his own wines for his restaurant (and the wine bar and catering, of course) with winemaker friends.
"Many people feel overwhelmed by the variety of wines on the market and simply buy according to the label," explained Gerd Kastenmeier. "Or they choose a particularly expensive wine - it has to be good. It doesn't have to be! With our blind tasting, we want to provide guidance so that everyone can find out what they like. And when tasting from black glasses, you concentrate on the taste, nothing distracts you." From this point of view, the black glasses definitely provide more clarity through their concealment.
