[QUOTE="Benjamin Button, post: 46007, member: 460"] You may be on to something here...hmmm...I can visualize it. To the drawing board! It's funny you say that. We actually just [i]downsized[/i] our martini glasses at the wine bar I work at part time. I prefer the smaller size, for one, because it forces the consumer to sip rather than gulp which many of the younger martini consumers today are not accustomed to. I believe partly due to the fact that the word [i]martini[/i] in itself today is not so much associated with gin, but more so with crazy concoctions of sweet mixers and liqueurs, the market has slowly started to increase the size of the martini vessel to accommodate the amount of mixer that is required in the drinks thus also providing more room for the alcohol. Unfortunately, any drink that is now served in a martini glass is considered a "martini" and the word in and of itself has been sadly "lost in the mix", pun fully intended. [/QUOTE]
