In specialty stores for sommelier equipment you can find dozens, sometimes even hundreds of different models of wine glasses, each one created for a specific purpose:
to help the wine develop all its flavors and aromas and fully satisfy the wine experts and wine lovers.
For those of us who are not experts, it can be pretty difficult to know which type is most appropriate for a certain variety of wine. Here is some advice on how to find the right glass for your favorite wine.
-Usually, full-bodied red wines are served in large glasses with a wide mouth, which allow the wine to breathe.
-Sweet/ fruity wines are best served in smaller glasses, as it helps to avoid that the wine warms up.
-Very aromatic wines require a 'balloon' glass, which focuses the aromas and helps you taste the full flavors.
-Sparkling wines should be served in tall, tapered glasses, allowing to enhance the perlage (or bubbles) and the aromas.
