The right glass of wine for tastings

We are in our travels in the Enjoyment regions of the world We're constantly confronted with the topic of wine and learn something new each time. As a result, we've often had to change or expand our ideas. Did you know that the glass you use to serve wine plays a big role? The right glass for your wine can change the taste of the wine.

The right glass for wine is just as important as the right food to serve with it. I learned from my parents that red wine is served in a bulbous glass, while white wine is served in a tulip-shaped glass.

But did you know that the shape of the glass can influence the taste of the wine?

The right glass of wine determines the taste

We got this one last year Wine tasting, to which we from the winery Inniskillin from the wine region Niagara The new ice wine from Inniskillin, the wonderful Vidal Ice Wine from the Inniskillin Niagara Estate, was presented to us twice for tasting. Once in a traditional white wine glass, and once in a glass from the Riedel crystal factory, which manufactures this glass specifically for ice wine tasting on behalf of Inniskillin. The same wine, drunk from the ice wine glass, tasted much more intense, fuller, and more lasting than from a regular white wine glass.

We don't boast about being perfect wine connoisseurs. Even if we're not always experts, we know that the right glass for the wine changes the taste. We often enjoy a glass of wine with a good meal or in the evening after a long day at work. But we do care about enjoying the wine. What we never imagined is how different the same wine can taste from different glasses.

Of course you have to choose a suitable wine *, so that it becomes an enjoyable experience. However, it's equally important that it's served in the right glass. And for that, it's no longer enough to have glasses for red and white wine. It's also important to serve the right wine in the right glass.
