Due to the wide variety of wine glasses, choosing the right glass makes people feel confused.

Don't worry, here are some of the main styles of wine glasses, hoping to help you find a glass that suits your personal needs when drinking wine.

01 Lightweight wine

Sparkling wine glasses are mainly divided into two categories-champagne cup (Coupe) and flute cup (Flute).
The flute cup is long and narrow in appearance, while the champagne dish cup is flat and shallow. Although champagne saucers are the traditional option for drinking champagne and sparkling wine, flute cups are more suitable.

Pros: The flute-shaped cup concentrates the subtle aroma and bubbles of this wine in a narrow mouth, and our nose can smell the wine directly.

02 Bordeaux Cup
The Bordeaux wine glass is known to the public as a typical wine glass-a slightly round goblet with a slightly narrowed upward body.

The regular capacity of the Bordeaux wine glass is 530 - 620ml, which is a large cup in the wine glass.

Advantages:

The standard shape of the glass allows oxygen to mix slightly with the wine, which then releases aroma and flavor.

The Bordeaux glass is suitable for Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon and other high-tannin, full-bodied red wines.

03 Burgundy Cup

The Burgundy wine glass differs from the standard wine glass in that it has a rounder and flatter body and wider edges.

This cup is usually used to compare the delicate taste and aroma of wine, usually red wine, such as Vaporicella (Valpolicella), Nebiolo (Nebbiolo), Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir) and Burgundy red wine.

Advantages:

The design of the glass allows the wine to be exposed to oxygen in a large area, releasing a complex aroma. The smaller cup mouth concentrates all of these aromas, providing a good experience for the drinker.

04 White Wine Glass

White wine glasses are the same shape as Bordeaux glasses and are "standard" but smaller in size and capacity. This type of glass is suitable for all styles of white wine.

Advantages:

Can keep the white wine low temperature and its acidity, high feet can prevent the cup body from touching, so that the wine temperature rises, better release the fragrance.

05 sweet wine cup after meal

The after-dinner sweet wine glass is used for port (Port), Madeira white wine (Madeira), Sauternis (Sauterne) and sherry (sherry), similar to a small flute-shaped glass.

Advantages:

These glasses are small, suitable for the small capacity of this type of dessert wine, and have a narrow mouth to prevent the alcohol from evaporating.

How to properly use and maintain wine glasses
※, when holding a wine glass, do not touch the body of the cup, but pick up the high foot.
