3 Types Of Wine Glass You Cannot Live Without
The shape and size of glass from which you drink a wine is often not something people are concerned about. They will always taste the same right? Well, it is becoming increasingly popular to have a number of sets of glasses especially for different types of wine.The grandfather of Mr Riedel (The well known wine glass brand) was the pioneer of the different shaped wine glasses and was the first to produce special designs for different wines.Lots of people have since agreed with the thinking of Riedel’s grandfather and are convinced that differences can be highlighted. Buyer for K & L Wine Merchants in San Francisco, Shaun Green is a supporter of this concept, stating “It really does make a difference”. Riedel now have over 40 different types of wine glasses, but if you can’t afford, or haven’t got space for these glasses, which ones are vital to own?
Red Wine – You really need a big-bowled smooth and basic glass for the drinking of red wine. This provides room to swirl the drink around the glass and set free its flavour. The nose is also easily let into the body of the glass which maximises the ability to inhale the sweet aromas. This is a characteristic that is also seen in whisky glasses
White Wine – A smaller-bowled glass with a higher rim is needed for drinking white wine. The creates a nice compact space for the flavours to swell and prevents any of the aroma from exiting the glass.
Champagne – The long thin iconic shape of champagne flutes is needed to drink this luxury product. The flute preserves the bubbles better than any other shape and the small circumference prevents the strong gases from the bubbles overpowering the sinuses.
All other wines basically fit into these three categories and the three styles of glass will compliment each one well. So if you’re missing any, go buy them now.
