Get to know the details of wine glasses

A wine must be served in a particular way in order to take advantage of its full flavor potential, regardless of whether it is sweet or dry, white or red, robust or light. Each type of wine requires a specific glass for serving, in addition to the proper temperature.


Wine glasses consist of four parts - the base, the stem, the bowl, and the rim. The base makes the glass stable. The wine is given enough space to release aromas, but also keeps the temperature of the white wine cooler. In addition, flutes are often used for serving sparkling wines, as they prolong the life of the bubbles. The stem also prevents fingerprints from getting on the bowl. It sits on the stem of the glass. The bowl of the glass is the most important part. It should be large enough to comfortably swirl the wine without spilling or splashing it, and tapered so that the aroma of the wine is retained and concentrated. Full-bodied red wines need space to breathe and release their aroma. When serving these wines, a larger bowl is needed. Conversely, white wines are typically served in smaller glasses, which are shaped like a "U" and narrower than red wine glasses. The rim is situated at the top of the bowl. Thinner rims are less distracting to drinkers as they sip their wine, and smooth rims ensure the wine flows smoothly from the glass to the mouth.


Listed below are the differences between crystal and glass, so you can decide which is best for you.


Generally, the lead content of glass determines whether it is classified as glass or crystal. Crystal is heavier and diffraction is greater than traditional glass.
