How To Choose Crystal Wine Glasses For White Wines?
Red wines always get more marks when it comes to complexity and flavour; the more complex the wine, the better it tastes.
However, white wines are also made for a sophisticated palette and require an acquired taste to appreciate. Do you know how to choose crystal wine glasses for a white wine that enhances its flavours and notes?
Here is your guide to buying the perfect glasses for white wine:
• The first thing to note is that white wine is not so demanding like red wines, which need a lot of space to release their flavours and notes or remove tannins and sulfites. They have a very delicate aroma and flavour and do not need a lot of specifications when it comes to glasses.
• White wines taste best when served chilled. The ideal temperature is 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Hence, you may need to hold the bowl with your hand to warm it slightly. So choose a stemmed glass where you can keep your hands close to the base of the bowl. However, too much heat can alter the taste; so be mindful when holding the glass.
• Unless it is a young white wine, you will not need a glass with a large bowl and wide rim to enhance its flavours. A narrow glass will do the trick. The shape of the glass directly sends the aroma of the wine to your nose, which makes the wine more enjoyable. If you choose a wide-rim glass, the delicate aromas will waft away from your nose.
• The ideal shape for a white wine glass is a rounded bowl with very little flaring in the middle and a slightly tapered rim. Basically, it needs to resemble a U-shape. The bowl's shape lies between a red wine glass and a flute champagne glass.
• White wine glasses also have a specially designed lip, allowing the white wine to flow towards the front area inside the mouth easily.
