And the variety of wine allowed him to reach the pinnacle of glory.

The range of wines is immense from dry and semi-dry to dessert.

Peculiarities of Red Wine Glasses

The taste and aromatic qualities of wine largely depend on the shape and volume of the glasses.

Glasses of the correct shape will allow you to enjoy a harmonious bouquet.

Red wines differ from whites for tannins and richness as the composition contains many aromatic substances.

Glasses for red wines usually have a rounded and conical shape with a large volume.

In such glasses, the drink is better saturated with oxygen and ideally reveals the whole bouquet of aromas.

The taste of the wine becomes pleasant and the excessive alcohol content disappears.

Tones of red fruits and berries appear and acidity is smoothed.

Thanks to the geometric proportions of the glass, all aromas are revealed evenly and in the right proportions. The thin stem allows you to comfortably hold the glass in your hand, without heating the drink and without staining the transparent bowl.

Wide flat glass base provides mechanical strength, creating good stability on the table surface.

Red Wine Glass Shapes

The shape of the glass influences the taste and aroma of the wine you are tasting.

Austrian glassblower Claus Josef Riedel was the first to notice this feature.

Already in the 60s his company Riedel started the production of varietal glasses suitable for white, red and sparkling wine.

The specialist found that when the drink is poured into a glass, the aromas are concentrated at different levels of the glass and begin to evaporate.

The shape and volume affect the aromatic ingredients and the edges of the glass are responsible for conveying the taste of the drink.
