Why Wine Glass Shape Matters

Large bowl, short stem, wider rim…there are several different wine glass styles, and they all play a pivotal role in your drinking experience. However, with so much choice, selecting the right glass for the type of wine you are drinking can be a bit intimidating.

Here’s the difference between red and white wine glasses and why their shapes matter.
1️⃣ Red wine glasses have a larger bowl to enhance aroma and flavor by allowing more air interaction. The wider opening directs the wine to the mid-palate and back of the mouth, balancing bold flavors and tannins.

2️⃣ White wine glasses have a smaller bowl and narrower opening to preserve cooler temperatures and delicate aromas. The smaller opening directs the wine to the tip and sides of the tongue, emphasizing the crispness and acidity of white wines.

Next time you enjoy a glass of wine, try using the right glass to elevate your experience. Do you notice a difference? Share in the comments and follow me for more wine tips. Cheers!
