We had several questions. One was about wine glass coolers. Several responses.

Alan

John Styler bring up the point that the 7716 may be a wine glass rinser rather than a wine glass cooler as shown on the website. Our policy is that we will try and follow Gardner unless Gardner has made an obvious mistake. On page 189 Gardner calls the 7716 and 6475 wine glass coolers. The existing factory records for the 7716 are no help. The records for the 6475 calls it a “Wine Washer” which makes no sense but comes closer to calling it a wine glass rinser.

Alan –

For John Styler – The club web site’s design relied, for the most part, on the terminology found in Gardner. On page 189 the “wine rinsers” to which John refers are called “wine glass coolers.”

I believe they were considered Wine rinser cooler as you would use cold or icewater in them. We have both, Carder Steuben, Green Jade and Amethyst Crystal here at the shop

We also had a question about whether there is a Tiffany club, much like the Carder Steuben Club. No one answered, but I believe the answer is “no”.
