Traditional vintage French tastevin designed for wine tasting and color evaluation. This metal cup features the classic combination of dimples (cupules) and flute godrons designed to catch candle light in cellars, along with a thumb rest and finger ring for secure handling.

Historically, the tastevin originated in France as an essential tool for winemakers and cellarmen. The convex center and textured inner walls served to inspect the limpidity, hue, and clarity of both red and white wines prior to modern lighting.
