It is, despite its fragility, the undisputed best wine glass you can get for your wine. Because it is so expensive, we recommend just the Burgundy glass as the one you need, but if you have some extra change lying around and drink white wine, pick up those too. This glass is still fragile thanks to a spindly stem the company has become known for, but the leaded crystal has a slightly sturdier construction than the Zalto while still boasting a narrow rim that feels luxurious and comfortable for sipping.
Fuller whites were even slightly better in this one than in the Zalto. But what it lacks in whatever magic of the Zalto is, it makes up for in affordability and the fact that this glass is less nerve-racking to drink from.
That said, Riedel claims these are dishwasher-safe, but unless you plan to make these stemless glasses My take on that below! These have to be hand-washed. Since the white wine glass performed pretty much equally to the Zalto, you could consider buying the more expensive glass for your reds and opting for this mid-tier pick for white wines. This little glass the company is owned by Riedel now, though it was once their biggest competition!
The red and white glasses are thin, but felt sturdy enough that I never worried about breaking them. They go into the dishwasher and come out in one piece. For the money, these glasses are the little engine that could. This is an elegant everyday glass and it blows away its competitors Schott-Zwiesel, Stozle, Libbey, and the more expensive Gabriel-Glas. I will warn that although the white glass is spectacular, it is quite small in comparison to the Burgundy glass.
It works great, but it can be surprising when you open it, especially in comparison to the ample size of the Burgundy glass. The combination of these shapes plus the cost, fragility, washability, and comfort in holding and drinking will be the keys to getting the best wine glass for you.
Shaped like a tulip, this glass has a round bowl and goes straight up before tapering slightly at the top. The bottom of the glass allows you to swirl without spilling, but the real magic of a white wine glass is that it concentrates aromas of the wine at the rim and traps them slightly so we can sniff the hopefully delicious things the wine has to offer.
Also, whites are almost always served colder than reds. Pouring smaller quantities into the glass will ensure that what you have in the glass always stays at a cool temperature.
Shaped a bit like an upside-down mushroom, these glasses have wide bowls and then taper at the top to a narrow rim. The huge bowl allows for tons of swirling. With reds and the fuller whites, you want to introduce a lot of air into the wine. The swirling motion jostles the esters and aldehydes in wines, which are the things that make the juice smell so good. In very aromatic but less mouth-drying tannic reds, you want to concentrate the aromas at the rim of the glass to maximize the intensity of smell compounds your nose can sense.
This is a giant version of the tulip shape we find in the white wine glass, although it tapers less at the top. This is actually quite a controversial opinion among wine snobs: Flutes are festive, fun, and they do, in fact, help keep the sparkle in your glass for longer.
Each wine style has specific characters in terms of acidity, fruit expression, tannin and alcohol, and the different glass shapes intensify or mellow those attributes. If your goal is to build a stellar collection, this is a fun route to travel. However, you can stick with a standard Cabernet, or red, wine glass for all red wines, and a Chardonnay glass for white wines, and not lose out on the intricacies of the wine. Your traditional red wine glass. Cabs and Bordeaux tend to be high in alcohol and tannin.
A larger bowl with more height creates more distance between the wine and the drinker, causing ethanol to dissipate on the nose and allowing more oxygen to encourage tannins to soften.
Slightly taller than the Cab glass and with a slight taper at the top, this glass is designed to focus the fruit and allow plenty of aeration to mellow tannins in these massive red wines. The extremely wide bowl and tapered rim allows plenty of aeration, concentrates delicate aromas and showcases the bright, rich fruit. Your traditional white wine glass. The smaller bowl size also keeps white wine colder than the large bowls used for reds.
Similar in shape to the Pinot Noir glass just smaller in scale, the wide bowl and narrow rim concentrates aromas and achieves maximum aeration on creamy white wines to reveal subtle complexities and offset rich fruit concentration. This glass is often confused with the Chardonnay glass. The Champagne flute is all about the bubbles. It keeps the fruit and potential yeasty aromas focused with its narrow design, but also allows the effervescence to remain fresh and flow longer.
These wines are higher in alcohol than still bottlings. One thing is clear: Notoriously complex, the best Pinots taste even more thrilling when served in the right glass. Here are four of the best on Amazon.
