Sommelier Silk Necktie, Tastevin tie.

Sommelier Silk Necktie. The Tastevin, or tasting cup, is the symbol for a sommelier or wine steward. Popular before the advent of electric light, the tastevin's reflective facets would illuminate the true color depth and clarity of wine in dark, candle-lit cellars. Faithful to tradition, sommeliers can still be found wearing them around the neck. Be classy and wear one around yours! Modified vintage illustration, inspired by the 1904 French "Tasse de dégustation" in the "Dictionnaire encyclopédique de l'épicerie et des industries annexes." Colors available for lovers of red or white.
