5 Things to Know When Picking Wine Glasses for Different wines

If you are a wine connoisseur, you are a person of refined taste. There a number of wines to choose from – the delicate Zinfandel, the bubbly champagne or the earthy red and white wines. While you are a perfect hostess if you know which wine goes with what kind of dishes, you can also soothe other senses by using an eclectic set of wine glasses.


Luxury wine glasses, in India, are easily available online too, thanks to the growing love of the young and old alike for this delicate liquor. Smoother in taste and and good for health, wine is fast replacing other types of liquor, even in informal gatherings. So, if you are looking to buy some wine glasses online, here are some tips for you:

1. The red and white wines are, usually, poured in a similar kind of a wine glass. They are too round at the base and as you look at the length of the glass, you realize that they curve slightly inward. This is to ensure the aroma and flavour of the wine remains for some time even after it has been poured out of the bottle. Some people take a lot of pleasure in appreciating the color as well as the taste of the wine. With these varieties, it is usually best to take plain wine glasses without much or any embellishments so a person can enjoy his/her drink to the fullest.

2. Champagne is a rich drink. It symbolizes mirth and celebration. Naturally, their wine glasses are equally special and festive. Usually known as flutes, these wine glasses have a more straight and narrow shape while the stem remains more or less the same as those of the traditional red and white wines. Some embellishments at the bottom or near the rim of the glasses would not be a bad choice.

3. Burgundies are the heavier types of wine. They have a rich flavour and people prefer having a little more of this variety than that of red and white wines. Fondness for this wine reflects in their corresponding wine glasses too. They have a larger and rounder base while the top is a small circle. Bordeaux is similar to burgundies and their glasses too are quite similar.

  
4. Ports and Sherries are popular party treats. They are not heavy on the system and have a fruity punch, more than that of any other type of wine. Their playful taste is reflected in their wine glasses, which are traditionally smaller in height and width.

5. It is important to note that wine glasses range from the normal glass varieties that have no colors or designs to the ultra luxurious ones we can buy online. Along with tumblers, whiskey glasses, beer mugs and shot glasses, wine glasses online in India are elegant additions to one’s kitchen. The popular ones have some designs hand or machine painted towards the wider bottom. An elegant set of wine glasses could be of the finest glass with a simple rim highlighted in thick gold and silver bands.

There may not be many varieties available when it comes to wine glasses, but the quality of the glass and the finishing would surely be of importance here. Also, note if the stems of the glasses can be decorative, they add more elegance to your set.
