Is there anything more special than drinking from an antique wine, beer or in this case a dram glass. At the risk of appearing somewhat 'off the wall' for yours truly it comes close to a communion with the distant past when considering the five or more previous generations that have put such a handsome object to good use. A classic case of 'if this dram glass could talk'
