Product Information

Champagne g lasses are known as ‘flutes’, thanks to their tall, slender, taper-free design. The glass keeps the bubbles and liquid on the tip of your tongue, giving you the aromas upon your first sip. However, if the glass is frosted, you won’t get a clear view of the colour. For experienced wine drinkers, the colour can say a lot about the wine. Crystal glasses of less-than top quality can skew or distort the wine’s appearance. Did you know that the bowls of white wine glasses tend to be smaller than the bowls of red wine glasses? This is because the aromas are lighter. There are hundreds of different designs for wine glasses on the market. Generally speaking, the best wine glasses all have a bowl at the bottom that narrows at the rim. This allows for more concentrated aromas inside the glass – which means we can smell them easier. Red wine glasses are usually slightly larger than white wine glasses, and generally, sparkling wine is served from flutes or tulip-shaped glasses. Some notable wine experts don’t tend to agree that different glasses for different wines are necessary. For example, about different types of wine glasses, Jancis Robinson MW writes, “There is no real need for a range of glasses of different sizes except that we tend to need smaller servings of sweet wines and fortified wines.” However, different types of glasses have been traditionally used for different wines, and some of us do like to have their wine from different glasses. It certainly makes for some visual variety at the table. So here’s a breakdown of different types of wine glasses that have traditionally been used.
