Wine Glasses

    You may have made quite an investment in a bottle of wine, and been keeping your wine in your wine cellar, under the perfect controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, for the exact right number of years. You might have opened it the perfect number of minutes before dinner. You might have made the perfect foods to bring out its sublime taste and aroma. But without the perfect wine glass, you won't be enjoying your wine to its fullest capacity. Unless you're a sommelier, you'll probably only need three kinds of wine glasses: some for white, some for red, and champagne flutes. Each wine glass consists of three parts: the bowl, the stem, and the foot. The proper way to drink wine, especially chilled wine, is by holding the wine glass from the stem, and so providing the least temperature interference. The shape of the bowl is important, as it determines how fast the wine oxidizes.
