I'm sorry but I can't see why special glasses are need for biodynamic
wines; possibly because I don't know what is a "biodynamic wine" ?

I think you are missing the point. The glass is not for biodynamic
wines - it is supposed to improve any wine using biodynamic principles.

(And as you are obviously in another time zone, it is also only fair to
point out that I am around 5 hours ahead of you.)

Do tell! How does a glass impart biodynamic principles to wine? Perhaps,
you'd better tell what are biodynamic principles first.

Rumbled! But after my hint about the time zone I think I shall claim 2
victims

James - I presume your questions are rhetorical and cynical, and I agree
completely - even in my April Fool blog post. Happy to discuss this
further though if you want, as I have tried to understand what BD is all
about.

Well played, Steve! Even though I am many hours ahead of you at the
moment here in Christchurch, I was taken hook, line and sinker. Sad to
say, none of it is beyond the possibility of Georg Riedel's ambitions.

When I first asked my questions I was not being cynical but sceptical,
since it would not have surprised me if Riedel did introduce biodynamic
glasses. However, Steve did warn me and I had forgotten about the
International Time LIne ;-) April Fool me I guess!

Nice.
As a result Prof Lipton has slipped back in time;
from GMT +13, to a lesser GMT+12. Ouch!

greybeard,
((who is) slightly) further east than the good prof, but in the same
time warp.

I rarely open links and, after spendin the evening with friends and imbibing
too much wine*, I just responded to "biodynamic" - a philosophy that is
completely irrational. I then opened the link and realized what a clever
and plausible April Fool's joke it was.
