Interesting. Based on your original post, my guess would have been Marcel Marceau...

Nagy's second business is wine glass manufacturing?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And even they don't pour to the correct depth - they should be pouring to the widest part of the glass then the bouquet is funneled to the top for your pleasure.

Quote: Because you are 300 years old? Very funny! But seriously: It's been nearly 50 years since I had my first glass of wine, and in that time glasses have grown very considerably.

And so has the quality of the wine, your taste in wines and your ability to pay for that quality. So a wine glass designed to help you appreciate it should be expected.
Yes I'm a bit wine snob

Speaking for myself my ability to buy larger amounts and consume larger amounts versus long ago isn't correlated to 'appreciation'.
More disposable income on the other hand...

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the following are true.
1. Cost. Glass, production and delivery were much more expensive in comparison to total income. So someone that wanted something 'special' would get a smaller (cheaper) one that was more likely to survive the trip to far off locale.
2. Availability. Actual wine (versus local alcohol) was a luxury even for the rich (the 'best' always came from somewhere else.) Thus savoring it and sharing was more viable with a smaller glass.
3. Perception. Due to the above the perception was that it was 'special' and thus more valuable even when circumstances (really wealthy and closeness to source) would have dictated otherwise. Thus 'respectable' people were expected to savor the experience. And a small glass made that more readily apparent.

Most probably the older you get the better wine you drink.
And some of These excellent wine Needs some volume also in the glass.
Therefore, nothing new on this
