We knew that Ville-Haute was the premier shopping district in Luxembourg before we even visited the city. When we arrived, we learned that the shops would be open for a very special Sunday sale in June. That Sunday, Anita discovered the Villeroy & Boch<\/a> store. It is, in her words, “a place of wonderful prettiness and stuff that I want.”<\/p>\n

Today, we want to share her discovery on that day: the mostest wine glass ever. A goblet of manifestly Brobdingnagian<\/a> proportions.<\/p>\n

Pictured below, from left to right: the new glass, a standard 750ml wine bottle, and one of our old wine glasses.
\n\"Compare\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The old wine glass holds, at full capacity, 450ml — well short of 16oz. The new glass holds much more than that. How much? We have a video<\/a> to demonstrate the prodigious proportions of our new glassware.<\/p>\n

That’s a full wine bottle, folks. Seven hundred and fifty milliliters, not a drop less. Yet another benefit of visiting the BBB&B: generous helpings.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Neurowaxx for the music<\/a> in the video above.<\/p>\n
