As people's understanding of wine becomes more profound, they have also put forward higher requirements for wine glasses. As is well known, different styles of wine require choosing different glasses. However, in most cases, as long as we grasp a few key points, we can also choose the correct wine glass to enjoy the delicious wine.

1. Choose different glasses for red and white wine

Generally speaking, red wine should choose a larger glass shape, while white wine should choose a smaller glass shape; Heavy bodied wines require the selection of larger glass sizes, while light bodied fruit flavored wines choose smaller glass sizes. This is because a large glass can make the wine fully sober up, while a small glass can prevent the temperature of the wine from rising rapidly.

A wine glass with a large belly is conducive to the sobering process and the release of flavor, while a narrow mouth is conducive to the aggregation of flavor at the mouth, making it easier for us to smell. For static wine, we need to choose clean and colorless wine glasses, so that we can correctly observe the color and hanging phenomenon of the wine.

2. Champagne and other sparkling wines should use tulip shaped glasses

Tulip shaped wine glasses can slow down the rate of bubble rise in sparkling wine and fully release the flavor and aroma of sparkling wine. Do not choose dish shaped champagne glasses with shorter body or larger mouth, as they can quickly eliminate the flavor and bubbles of sparkling wine.

3. Choose a glass with rolled edges

A wine glass with curled edges can guide the liquor to the correct position on our tongue, allowing us to achieve a more perfect tasting effect.

4. In formal banquets, choose slightly larger wine glasses

In formal banquets, a larger wine glass is usually chosen because it not only allows enough wine (4-6 ounces) in the glass to avoid continuous pouring, but also has enough space to shake the glass to sober up.

5. When tasting, choose small and inexpensive wine glasses

The wine glasses used for tasting events generally do not need to be too expensive or exquisite. Firstly, such cups require a large amount of water and are easy to break; Secondly, a small cup is beneficial for saving alcohol consumption; Thirdly, the cup section saves space and is easy to clean.

6. Be sure to choose a colorless, clean, and tasteless glass for high-quality wine

For a good wine, it is important to choose clean and colorless glasses to serve, as colored or decorated glasses often distract our attention and affect the taste of the wine.

7. Buy only the right things, not the expensive ones

Nowadays, various online stores sell wine glasses, and the brands are also mixed. Therefore, when choosing wine glasses, it is important to personally verify the model and cleanliness of the glasses.

8. Choose a wine glass that can be cleaned with a glass washer

Choosing a wine glass that can be cleaned with a cup washer saves time and effort. Oil free wine glasses do not even require detergent cleaning, while for oil stained wine glasses, just add a small amount of detergent and let them dry naturally after washing. For crystal cups, it is recommended to wash them by hand and add a small amount of detergent.
