Choosing wine glasses, also known as stemware, is easy with a little knowledge and understanding. The shape, size and color of a wine glass can dramatically affect your perception of the wine that’s contained in it.The appeal of wine is not just in its taste and smell, but also in its visual aspect. The way light plays on the wine, the “legs” on the inside of the glass when you swirl the wine, and the way aromas are captured within the glass—and presented to your nose while drinking—are things to consider when learning how to choose wine glasses.Wine glasses with larger, broader bowls are traditionally used for the big red wines, and narrower wine glasses are used to concentrate the more delicate bouquet of lighter white wines. Champagne is best served in a tall slender flute. Visual enjoyment of the bead (bubbles) is enhanced by the height. The once popular shorter, bowl-style version of the Champagne glass doesn’t present the bead to best advantage or concentrate the aromas. Wine glasses have been used since ancient times. Pliny (23–79 A.D.) wrote of gold and silver drinking vessels being abandoned in favor of glass, which was frequently priced as highly as the precious metal versions. Bonifacio Veronese’s sixteenth-century ‘Last Supper’ includes modern style wine glasses with a stem and foot.
