{ Wine Wednesday } Flutes & Tulips

When it comes to the proper wine glass, things can get a bit confusing.  Wine specialists have developed different shapes of glasses for the different wine varieties and regions.  But at the end of the day, there are really just two shapes to remember:  flutes and tulips.  Flutes will be for the sparkling wines, while tulip-shaped glasses for still wines.  Typically, a smaller tulip glass will be used for white still wine, while a larger tulip glass is used for the red still wines.  As your taste in wine develops and your vino budget expands, you can venture off into different shapes and sizes of stemware.  But no matter what, always choose thin, clear glass... the thinner the better.  And with that, may we suggest Riedel.
Here are some basics in wine glasses:
