Burgundy glasses are designed to capture the aroma and delicacy of the Pinot Noir grape but are also perfect for all sorts of supple and well-aged red wines. The 23.5 oz. balloon design directs floral, earthy and fruity aromas to the nose while playing down heavier shades of alcohol and wood that might drown out these subtle notes. A wide rim directs the flow right over the front and center zones of the tongue, playing down acidity and accentuating the rounder, mellower qualities of the wine.
From the delicate raspberry flavors of Beaujolais Nouveaux to the jammy dark fruit and spice of California Zinfandel, red wines need to show off their balance of tannin, fruit and aroma. Red wine tasting glasses offer the large bowl and narrowed rim necessary to aerate and concentrate aromas towards the nose while directing flow over the taste zones of the tongue with balance. Suited to a wide array of red wines, they are the perfect glass for the wine list by the glass or the casual home drinker.
Whether you're opening up a treasured Puligny-Montrachet tableside or just a crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for friends and grilled fish, a white wine glass of the proper structure is essential. A gently curved, narrow bowl keeps temperature low and aromas focused. The sharp, thin rim delivers the flow across the taste zones of the tongue with a balance of sweetness and acidity crucial to white wines. This heightening of aroma and simple shape matches a variety of whites from dry and fresh to voluptuous and rich.
Champagne has long been the symbol of celebration and luxury. The Champagne flute has a lot of work cut out for it when it comes to delivering what's in the glass. A small surface area on the top preserves the bubbles in a glass of sparkling wine, keeping the "mousse" intact. A tapered, narrow rim sends effervescence and aroma to the nose while controlling the flow over the tongue, keeping a balance between cleansing acidity and savory depth.
