Buying wine tasting glasses<\/b> is perhaps not the most glamorous aspect of being a wine lover. Shopping for wine glasses is certainly not as much fun as browsing the <\/span>Rioja<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Ribera del Duero<\/span><\/a> sections of your favourite wine store. Make no mistake, though: Glamorous or not, the sort of stemware you taste wine from matters. <\/span>Owning the right wine tasting glasses is vitally important if you are serious about your wines!<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learning to taste wine correctly is very useful for wine professionals and wine lovers alike.<\/span><\/p>\n Wine tasting<\/span><\/a> is part art and part science, and one of the most important aspects is the wine glass itself. Tasting from the right sort of glass will allow you to assess the wine\u2019s appearance and aroma, and will heighten the flavours on your palate when you actually take a sip.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET)<\/span><\/a> recommends the ISO glass for its students, though acknowledges that there are many suitable alternatives. All good wine tasting glasses should meet the following criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the above criteria in mind, we have chosen what we think are the three most important glasses for any serious wine taster\u2019s collection.<\/span><\/p>\n For <\/span>dry white wines<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>ros\u00e9 wines<\/span><\/a>, we recommend a <\/span>Riesling wine tasting glass<\/b>. <\/span>Riedel Vinum Riesling<\/span><\/a> will do the job nicely, with its rounded bowl and inward-sloping walls. This one has been specially designed for Riesling, though is versatile enough to handle all white and ros\u00e9 wines too.<\/span><\/p>\n The best red wine glass is surely the <\/span>Bordeaux<\/b><\/a> wine tasting glass<\/b>. The Bordeaux glass has a classic design that is elegant and hugely practical. Its shape is designed to highlight the best of complex, dry red wines. The glass will minimise the rougher edges that these wines sometimes have, and instead emphasise the fruit aromas.<\/span><\/p>\n Tasting sparkling wines<\/b> can be tricky, though we recommend <\/span>St\u00f6lzle Exquisit Champagne<\/span><\/a>. This design satisfies the criteria of a rounded bowl while sloping inwards at the top, yet is still optimal for keeping sparkling wines fresh like a traditional <\/span>Champagne flute<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keep in mind that even the best wine tasting glasses will be less effective if you haven\u2019t taken the time to prepare your tasting environment. Other aspects to remember include:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What wine tasting glasses do you own?
