Every wine connoisseur knows to carefully select his or her wine for the best flavor and overall taste. But many fail to think about the wine glasses they are pouring their carefully sought wine into. Using the proper glass for the wine you are drinking is an important part of the whole experience.
Red wines will need a bigger bowl and a slightly taller statue in order to give the wine plenty of air to breathe as well as room to swirl it in the glass.
While white wines do not need the space for swirling as this is not needed for the best flavor. But a narrower opening it better in order to concentrate the aroma of the wine as you bring it up for a drink.
For champagne an extremely tall and skinny glass is an absolute must. The structure of the glass is specifically intended to keep the bubbles in action just as champagne was intended to be enjoyed.
All wine glasses should be made with clear glass and should have plenty of stem to hang onto while you are drinking. Combining just the right wine glasses with your wine and cheese served on a Formaggio Cheese Board and you are properly set for an elegant gathering.
