In the wine world (which you appear to follow as well), Riedel makes different glasses for different wines, with the idea that the different shape somehow directs the liquid to the right parts of your tongue.

'Nuff said. (I never did get around to perusing <i>Draft</i>, but I do like <i>Imbibe</i>.)
