It's and Commissioner Sid Miller has a sip-worthy detail for you!

Wine glasses are tulip-shaped not just because it looks elegant but because the inward curve helps to capture and concentrate aromas instead of letting them escape! The shape allows you to smell more, taste more and fully experience what's in your glass.

Commissioner Sid Miller welcomes you to learn more about what makes wine so interesting! Here in the Lone Star State, our grapes generally have thicker skin due to the hot Texas sun ☀️ These thicker skins often lead to bolder, more tannic wines. Cheers to that, Texans! 🍷
