History of the Wine Glass

August 8, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

While they may seem as old as the ancient tradition of wine making, glasses are a much newer advent. A wine glass with bowl, stem and foot as we know it today would have been hard to find before the industrial revolution. Glass was hard to make before then, making a wine glass just as priceless as a goblet made of gold or silver.
                This is not to say though that wine glasses were not always sought after. Even ancient wine drinkers, at least the ones that got to experience wine from a glass cup, recommended glass for everyone. During the industrial revolution this became a feasible option for even the common man. This subsequently produced a wave of wine appreciation because now the full bouquet of the wine was open to the drinker. Wine glasses are now shaped specifically for different types of wine like white, red, champagne and sherry. This veritable rush of improvement in the cups wine is enjoyed from seems like it shouldn’t have happened only a couple centuries ago, but indeed it did. So always be thankful for that wine glass and its ability to enhance the vintage in it.
