Red Wine Glass
Luscious red wines need to breathe. We decant them to give them air, and this should continue into the glass itself. The ideal vessel for red wine will be wider than the white variety glass, with an oval/egg shape that has a slightly narrowed top. This will allow the wine to not only breathe, but also preserve aroma when the wine is swirled and aerated. The general rule: The bigger the better.
White Wine GlassWhere reds like to breathe in large glasses, whites are best housed in narrower glasses that taper sharply at the top. Again, the shape helps the concentration of aromas, but it also helps to keep the wine cold by decreasing air circulation, and allows more subtle aromas to be noticed.
