Custom tasting placemats - 2/12/2007 11:28:21 AM

When organising a tasting, which for me is almost always a port tasting, I make a placemat for the glasses. Clearly labelled places helps avoid confusion later in the evening. Most of two years ago, in a burst of enthusiasm, I tidied the PostScript code and put it on the web at www.jdawiseman.com/papers/trivia/glasses.html. It’s not really suitable for those with no computer abilities, but for others, it might prove a useful way to make such placemats.

It’s free (and, being written entirely in PostScript, harmless). And I think that it deserves being used more widely.
