How Many Wine Glass Types Do You Really Need
Lots of people believe that which glass you drink a wine from doesn't matter. There will no change in the way it tastes right? Well, owning a whole range of different glasses for drinking various wines is something that is becoming increasingly popular. This was a concept of Mr Riedel’s (the famous wine ware brand) grandfather Claus, who was the first to produce different sized and shaped glasses to compliment to drinking of certain wine.Ever since, people have been convinced that the theory is correct and you can really notice a difference is the drinking experience. Buyer for K & L Wine Merchants in San Francisco, Shaun Green is a supporter of this concept, stating “It really does make a difference”. Riedel now have over 40 different types of wine glass but if you can’t afford, or haven’t got space for these glasses in the wood wine cabinet, what ones are vital to own?
Red Wine - You really need a big-bowled smooth and basic glass for the drinking of red wine. The improves the way one can swirl the wine around the glass and develop its full spectrum of flavours. It will also let you fit the whole nose into the glass easily to pick up the maximum flavours in the smell
White Wine – A smaller-bowled glass with a higher rim is needed for drinking white wine. The provides the perfect environment for the flavours to bond together and non of the aroma that rests above the liquid to escape.
Champaign – The long thin iconic flute shape of the Champaign glass is needed to drink this luxury product. The flute preserves the bubbles better than any other shape and the small circumference prevents the strong gases from the bubbles overpowering the sinuses.
All other wines basically fit into these three categories and the three styles of glass will compliment each one well. So if you don't own these 3, you're not getting the best from your wines.
