A tastevin with small linear grooves (gordons) is designed for evaluating white wines. A tastevin with round indentations (cupules) is for red wines. Sometimes the two forms were combined in a single tastevin. </p><p>Older tastevins (like mine) often feature a coin embedded in the bottom of the cup — the coin in my tastevin is a 5 Franc coin from 1868, featuring Emperor Napoleon III.</p><p>It seems to be decoration and/or repair. The coin is absolutely not to be used as a way to date a tastevin.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]434830[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
