How the shape of the glass affects the taste of wine – the answer of experts

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.

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.

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

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

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.
