Burgundy Wine Glass

Over time, wine has been consumed via every form of vessel from a lead chalice to a paper cup. They all served the purpose, which was basically, to get the wine to ones lips. In the past couple of centuries as the wines have become much more sophisticated and refined, so has the glassware from which it is sipped. What has lagged behind is the awareness of the public on the importance of using wine glasses, which enhance the presentation of the wine itself. Restaurant owners, who refuse to use proper wine glasses when serving wine, have exacerbated the problem.

Wine presents not just as taste, but also as a combination of aroma, texture, taste and finish. Improper glassware can diminish all aspects of a good wine. The right glassware can enhance the qualities of a good wine so much that you might not believe it is the same wine. 

Over time, we at WineGlassInfo.com hope to explore not only this issue but also any issue that concerns wine or increases ones pleasure with the wine experience.
