wine glass types and how to hold the wine glass?

The use of wine glasses varies according to the type of liquor you intend to serve: the shape, the size and even the color of a glass influence the drinker’s perception of the wine as such.If you really feel like using quality wine products ,the first important piece to selecting the right wine glasses is to know which type of wine you plan to serve at your dinner party. It seems that there is always something new for the wine lover to learn, and while the wine glass types may not be the most important part of the wine experience, knowledge of this subject might just make your wine tasting experience that much more enjoyable.

The Wine Glass

The wine glass itself has three parts: the bowl, the stem, and the foot, as shown in the diagram below:

How To Hold The Wine Glass

The correct way to hold a wine glass is by the stem, not the bowl. The reason for this is simple. If you hold the glass by the bowl, the heat from your hand warms up the wine. Since most wines are meant to be served at a specific temperature, this should be avoided.“Only hold the glass by the stem. The heat from your hand may heat up the wine and change the flavor of the wine. Rumour has it that you should hold red wine glasses by the bowl. No. The serving temperature of red wine is in the low 60sF. The heat of your hand will warm it too much. The only exceptions to the “no hands” rule are when drinking Cognac or brandy. Warming is desirable in these situations.”

By holding the glass by the stem, you can hold the wine glass all day without affecting the temperature of the wine with your hand. This also keeps your fingerprints off the glass, which can detract from the appearance of the wine. I have to recommend against holding your pinkie up while drinking, as this will make you look like an english schoolmarm. However, if you are a very proper person, or an english schoolmarm, go ahead and stick that pinkie up.

Wine Glass Shapes

There are 2 basic wine glass shapes: red wine glasses, white wine glasses. In addition to these 2 basic shapes, there are countless in-between shapes, artistic glasses, and specialty glasses.

Most people think red wine is more healthier and beneficial than white wine. I immediately imagined the scenario of the red wine drinker and the white wine drinker at a steak house trying to agree on a bottle of wine and settling on wines by the glass. Before leaving we secured a few bottles for our wine racks. Affiliation charming cheeks.

White wine glass typesvary greatly in shape and size. The basic rule is that a skinnier glass with a narrow opening is better for a lighter, crisper wine, and a wider glass with a broad opening is better for a more full-bodied wine.

This is because the more full-bodied wines, like Chardonnay, respond well to oxidation, much like a red wine. Lighter, sweeter wines, however, do not respond well to oxidation. The glass is therefore made narrower to let in as little air as possible. So, as a rule of thumb, choose a narrower glass, for a lighter wine, and a wider glass for a more full-bodied wine.

You can make a better look at a wine AOS appearance and color by pouring it into a clear wine glass and look through it with a white tablecloth or other white background. No question was asked whether I had enjoyed the first glassful. Another universal basket choice is the wine basket. Look at this picture above of Dimitri seen through the Reidel wine glass and how the shapes of the strong ceiling lights frame him and showcase certain aspects of him.

The empty glass was probably taken to communicate that it was good! I like to think of Mother Nature as a classy kind of gal with a taste for the grape. I even liked red wine. So what are the differences in white and red wine glasses? Recommendation is to drink one glass of red wine per day for health benefits and your home decoration.
