How Many Different Wine Glasses Do You Need?

The shape and size of glass from which you drink a wine is often not something people are concerned about. The taste remains the same right? Well, owning a whole range of different glasses for drinking various wines is something that is becoming increasingly popular.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. One of the most passionate being Shaun Green, a buyer for K & L Wine Merchants in San Francisco who says “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, what ones are vital to own?

Red Wine – You really need a big-bowled smooth and basic glass for the drinking of red wine. This allows you to swirl the wine in the glass and release it’s flavours. It also allows you to fit the whole nasal area into the glass to soak up the rich aromas. 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 allows the flavours to remain compact in the glass and the aroma to settle above the drink and not spill over.

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.
