Additional Information : Wine rinsers may no longer be de-rigeur. We are used to having a glass for red. white and water when dining. Drinking glasses are so much more affordable today. However we assure you that one modest wine glass. rinsed between courses is all that is required and nowadays this is certainly novel and entertaining and saves energy washing up. the guests do it themselves between courses.
