Wine glasses: Mark Phillips vs. Riedel video

Truth or marketing heresy?

I watched the below video tonight about Mark Phillips' wine glasses. I have only one Riedel wine glass, and the rest are very tall and big red and medium sized white wine glasses. I actually purchased his glasses tonight via the internet and look forward to seeing if there is a difference in taste or not when they arrive next week. I invite you to watch the video and post a comment. You need to have QuickTime to watch the video.

Truth (I've seen some of the independent research I think he was referring to) AND marketing heresy.

I wonder how he intends to expand his business when he has saturated his market with his durable one-size-fits-all glass. Glasses for personal differences perhaps. People have different shaped noses, and different taste maps on their tongues!
