Stemless wine tumblers all the rage
Over the past 12 months the use of stemless glasses by wine enthusiasts has increased dramatically
Stemless wine glasses are becoming very popular in settings where wine enthusiasts want to use a great glass for wine tasting, but the occasion may be a non-formal one and the host doesn’t want to run the risk of top heavy stemmed glasses being upended and expensive wine distributed over carpets, table cloths and guests garments.
Even though your setting may be on a boat, or an outdoors BBQ under a summer twilight, perhaps a casual dinner party for your wine enthusiast friends - stemless glasses remain very stable without reducing the wine tasting experience.
On many an occasion of hosting a dinner we have had many a well made wine spilled onto table cloths, rugs and guests clothing - embarrassing for the guest and a waste of good wine.
When I went searching for stemless Pinot noir glasses, what I was seeking was a glass that I could honestly be proud of when I presented it on my dinner table. It needed to be able to decisively relay the characters of a great Pinot noir and at the same time be practical enough for me to use for large groups of guests. The all important part of the Pinot glass - the bowl shape - has to be perfect in order to send the wine to the right part of the palate.
For my casual dinner parties especially outdoors summer BBQ’s with steaks and grilled butterflied legs of lamb I also require Cabernet wine glasses - stemless tumblers to be exact. We eat outdoors a lot during summer, either at home or at the beach and these stemless cabernet glasses are fantastic on outdoors furniture which in many cases can sometimes be unstable.
Many of our casual guests prefer chicken to steaks or lamb, and as I am passionate about great chardonnays, I found these fantastic stemless Riedel wine glasses for chardonnay drinkers. They have a base to the bowl which provides them with additional stability as the bowl itself is somewhat than those found on stemless red wine glasses.
Stemless wine glasses - all three of which would be fantastic in your wine cabinet.
