How to choose the right kind of wine glasses

March 24, 2009

If you are a wine buff, certainly you just can’t afford to choose its glasses casually. Here’s a quick check list of the right wine glasses- have a look!

When picking up wine glasses, make sure you choose clear ones to best enjoy the color and appearance of wine.

When serving the wine, fill only 1/3 to ½ of the glass full to allow the drinker to swirl the wine and release the bouquet. The air space between the wine and the mouth of the glass allows air to being out the best in the wine’s aroma.

Although stemless wine glasses are becoming popular, be careful when using them. Holding your wine in your hand will cause the heat from your hand to warm the wine. This can impede the wine from giving off its best aroma and flavor. So keep this point in mind when choosing your wine glasses. If you must use these glasses, put them down between sips to avoid warming the wine.

Champagnes and sparkling wines are definitely best when served in flutes. The bubbles last much longer. A slim flute looks more elegant and the bonus is- it doesn’t hold as much, which is definitely good when you are paying for the champagne!

Cocktails tend to be better in larger glasses depending on there type and strength. A martini shaped glass is perfect for a simple cocktail that doesn’t require too much adornment; it looks sophisticated and is synonymous with cocktails!

so don’t think much now, just make sure you keep the above written points in your head, whenever you step out in the market for purchasing the right kind of wine glasses for your bar cabinet! The right kind of wine glasses not only adds attraction to your bar cabinet but also augment the taste of wine.
