Choose The Perfect Wine Glass

To make sure you're getting the very best from your wine, all specialists agree that there is an art and a science to capturing the very best that wine has to offer. Depending on the glass you choose, you can enhance the smell of the wine, the flavour and even that shimmering colour.

There are some basic points you can bear in mind when choosing a new wine glass to help get you started.

Firstly, it's important to have a clear, pattern free glass. Although the fashion at the moment is for decorative wine glasses in all colours and sizes, the very best style for enhancing and capturing the qualities of a wine is a nice plain glass.

The next consideration is size. You need to select a glass which can hold a serving in the bottom half of the glass alone. This will allow you to swill the wine round, aerate and really get a good sense of the bouquet on offer.

Recent dinner party trends have seen a variety of new styles and shapes hit the stemware market. But traditional lovers know that a tried and tested tulip shaped glass suits all wines. To get the very best from your wine though you need to opt for the glass that compliments your wine the best.

So for red wine you might choose a taller, wider glass, which allows all the subtleties and nuances of a red wine to breather. Two glasses are normally chosen for red wines.

Bordeaux glasses are tall and wide meaning the wine can breathe. They are perfect if you're savouring a fruity, full bodied red such as a cabernet, this glass naturally sends the wine to the back of your mouth for great flavour depth.

Or, you could opt for a burgundy glass which has a larger bowl than normal and is perfect for Burgundies as it helps the sweetness of the wine to shine.

There are loads of other varieties of wine glass to select from, and even more choice if you want to branch out into other liquers, but the above suggestions should give you a great starting point to help get the most from your wine.

Of course if you prefer your glasses a bit more out of the ordinary you could invest in a set of cordial glasses which are a great fashion statement and perfect for parties

Burgundy Wine $81.25 Burgundy wine (French: Bourgogne or Vin de Bourgogne) is wine made in the Burgundy region in eastern France. The most famous wines produced here those commonly referred to as Burgundies are red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes or white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. Red and white wines are also made from other grape varieties, such as Gamay and Aligot respectively. Small amounts of ros and sparkling wine are also produced in the region. Chardonnaydominated Chablis and Gamaydominated Beaujolais are formally part of Burgundy wine region, but wines from those subregions are usually referred to by their own names rather than as Burgundy wines. Burgundy has a higher number of appellations dorigine contrle (AOCs) than any other French region, and is often seen as the most terroirconscious of the French wine regions. The various Burgundy AOCs are classified from carefully delineated Grand Cru vineyards down to more nonspecific regional appellations. The practice of delineating vineyards by their terroir in Burgundy go back to Medieval times, when various monasteries played a key role in developing the Burgundy wine industry.
