They also allow for easier swirling, which not only looks cool, but when done right, will aerate the wine and help it open up and reach its potential.
Larger cups allow the wine to breathe more. In other words - when you pour a rich wine into a small cup, you kill its potential. The smaller the cup, the harder it is to get all those aromas out. Whether it is a red, white, rosé, sparkling or fortified wine, the aroma plays a key role in its overall character.
Don't like the way the wine tastes? Before you blame the wine, try enjoying it from a different glass. Ultimately, the best choice of wine glass for a particular wine is the one that makes the wine taste the best. Keep in mind, however, that all guidelines regarding matching wine glasses with wines are guidelines only. When selecting a wine glass, it is best to take the shape and size of the chalice into consideration and match it to the type of wine. The different types of glasses are shaped to highlight different aspects of the wine. Sounds complicated? Don't worry, you'll soon get the hang of it with us. All of these elements ultimately affect the flavor you taste. How, you ask? The shape, size and style of the glass affect how much air your wine breathes, how much aroma is released and reaches your nose, and where the wine first touches your tongue. Even slight differences in the design of a glass can make a big difference in your wine experience.
