Which glass to choose for wine

Wine is a wonderful, flavorful drink that is often made at home from grapes and berries. It is very important not only to know how to make it but also, as it turned out, to drink it from the right glass.

Experts at Usual Wines say that the shape of the glass is a very important element that completely determines the taste and aroma of red and white wine.

Studies have shown that the shape of the glass can even affect the taste of the wine – if you are serving red wine, you should definitely think about oxygen and letting the wine breathe.

Which glass to choose for red wine

That's why red wine should be poured into a wider glass, which allows more volatile compounds to evaporate and reveal the subtleties of the wine's taste and aroma.

A wider glass allows the wine to reveal its flavor

Experts say that a wider glass allows the wine to oxidize, revealing the aroma and full flavor of the wine.

You'll notice that the longer you let a red wine breathe, the deeper its flavor.

This also applies to white wine, which should also be drunk from a wide glass so that the flavor is fully developed.

How to drink white wine correctly

Another important detail noted by the experts is that glasses must be on a high and thin stem, and never pour wine into a glass, as you will simply spoil its wonderful taste and aroma.

You can't hold glasses like that
If you choose a glass or even a narrow glass on a short stem for wine, the taste of it will be spoiled, because it will heat up firstly from your hands, and secondly, the taste will not be revealed.
