What Types Of Wine Glasses Are Vital To Own?
Many people think that it doesn’t matter what type of glass you drink a wine from. The taste remains the same right? Well, you might be surprised to here that it is becoming every more popular to have various wine glasses in the cabinet for the drinking of 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. Since then many people have argued that there is a marked variation in tasting experience. 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 enhances the ability to swish the wine in the glass and liberate its full flavours. It will also let you fit the whole nose into the glass easily to pick up the maximum flavours in the smell. This is a characteristic that is also seen in a whisky glass
White Wine – A smaller-bowled glass with a higher rim is needed for drinking white wine. This prevents any of the precious aroma from lifting over the edge of the glass and keeps the flavours tightly wrapped up before they enter the mouth.
Champagne – The long thin iconic shape of champagne flutes is needed to drink this luxury product. The bubbles are preserved in the flute better than they would be in another glass and the the narrow rim prevents the carbonated air from entering the sinuses.
So, there is no need to spend your savings on a giant range, as pretty much all of the different wines will drink well from these 3 main types. So if you’re missing any of these, you’re missing out on the best taste.
