Further Information. An oversized red glass is ideal for aged reds, which require plenty of air before drinking to open up to their full flavor potential.
If you're planning to drink a rare old vintage, decant it for an hour before enjoying it out of the goblets. A tulip-shaped glass is elegant and sophisticated and can serve red, white, or sparkling wine. It has a slim base that opens to a wider bowl then narrows to a smaller rim. The reason for the narrow edge? It guides the aromas toward the tongue instead of up the nose. Tulips can be very delicate, so take care when handling them.
A flute has a narrow, upright bowl and small opening. The fastest way to chill any wine is to place it in an ice bucket with cold water, ice, and a generous sprinkling of salt.
The salt lowers the temperature of the water and makes the bottle get colder quicker. A coupe has a short, broad, shallow bowl and smaller stem. The large rim allows for the liquid to come in contact with lots of air, dissipating bubbles and aromas quicker, which is why some Champagne producers prefer flutes. However, for home entertaining, a coupe is fine for Champagne and is excellent for cocktails that do not require ice like dirty martinis.
A dessert wine glass is typically much smaller than red and white wine glasses. It has a smaller flute-shaped bowl, lower stem, and narrow rim. Dessert wines are usually paired with, you guessed it, dessert, but we also love them with a cheese plate.

The bowl is bigger so that it can accommodate some of the aromas of wines that are bit more delicate. Due to the shape of the glass, the drinker will experience tasting the wine first on the tip of the tongue, then throughout the mouth. Having the wine directly at the tip of the tongue ensures that you can fully taste and smell even the most delicate wine and keeps you from missing any of the amazing nuances that may be in a particular glass of wine.
Some of these glasses have a shorter stem that will keep the wine glass from being at risk of toppling over but these stems are still long enough that you can easily swirl the wine to incorporate air and enjoy the best possible taste and smell.

They are perfect for full-bodied wines such as a Merlot or Cabernet and their shape ensures that you will have the best possible drinking experience when you use them.
Since the wine glass is so tall, when you drink out of it, the wine will easily travel to the back of the mouth instead of remaining up near the tip of your tongue. This ensures that you taste all of the amazing flavors of your wine without it being bitter or too much to drink.
Wine drinkers find that this especially helps if the wine that you are drinking is a little young or does not have the full, rich flavors traditionally associated with Bordeaux. Buy at Hayneedle 4. Zinfandel The perfect wine glass for Zinfandel is a little shorter than the Bordeaux wine glass and has a slightly larger rim. This ensures that you experience the full flavor and smell of your wine.
You will want to look for glasses that have a thin rim as anything thick or bumpy will detract from the overall experience of the wine that you are drinking. Thicker rims will actually impede how the wine flows into your mouth and with a lighter wine such as Zinfandel, you want to make sure that there is nothing in its way. The bowl is also smaller than the Bordeaux or Cabernet wine glass but still large enough that the wine is able to breathe. This will improve the overall flavor of the wine and your whole drinking experience.
While you can use a Bordeaux glass to drink a Zinfandel wine, you will enjoy your wine much more when you use the correct glass even though many people think that they are so similar as to be interchangeable. Buy at Hayneedle 5. Pinot Noir Pinot Noir glasses are gorgeous and have the widest bowl of any of the red or white wine glasses. This ensures that the wine has as much contact with the air as possible and will greatly improve its aroma and flavor.
The bowl is large enough for you to swirl it and a crystal-clear glass will allow you to observe the wine during this action. These glasses have slightly shorter stems than other red wine glasses. The easiest way to tell them apart from other types of red wine glasses is to pay attention to the rim. It is turned out from the glass, which directs the flavors and smell of the wine directly to your nose and mouth. While you can drink Pinot Noir from any kind of glass that you want to, if you want to fully enjoy this wine, then you will only drink it from a special glass.
You want to be able to capture the intensity of this wine and only a Pinot Noir glass will be able to do that; everything else will allow you to drink your wine but you will find that there is not much enjoyment in it. Buy at Houzz 6. Rose Rose glasses have a long stem that ensures that the heat from your hand does not affect the wine. You want your wine to remain at a cool temperature and the stem allows that.
There are two main kinds of rose glasses that you can find: ones with a short bowl and flared lip and others with a short bowl and a short taper.
