SIGNIFICANCE OF FORM & MATERIAL

What many may not know is that the shape and size of a wine glass can have a direct impact on how the wine will be experienced and tasted. In the vast majority of cases, you choose glasses based on design and perhaps not with a thought about whether it suits the wines you like to drink. But if you want to learn more and find the right wine glass, there are a couple of tips to take with you:

• Materials and quality. A really good glass should preferably be made of thin glass or crystal and not be too heavy.
• The glass should preferably have a nice, thin rim at the top as it makes the taste experience much more pleasant.
• Although it is possible to use the same wine glass for both red and white wine, it is significantly more beneficial for the taste and experience to use wine glasses adapted for red wines and white wines respectively.
• Feel free to opt out of plastic glasses as plastic is a material that emits its own taste, so it can negatively affect the taste of the wine.
• Choose a spacious glass so that the wine can take up space and aerate properly.
• Make sure the glass has a tall stem so it's easy to hold.
