(*note that I may receive a small commission if you buy anything I recommend, but as always. But I know plenty of people who only drink out of stemless. I personally don’t like stemless because the whole point of a wine glass’s stem is so that the heat of your hand doesn’t warm up your wine. Not to mention so much of our taste buds are driven by smell! So you want enough surface area in the glass to maximize that.ĭid you know that there is a different style of wine glass for every varietal of wine? It doesn’t really matter if you’re not a total wine snob, I personally always just go for a good cabernet glass for any wine – they’re big, bold, and beautiful, and leave plenty of room for swirling. This is important because there have been countless studies shown that by swirling wine you release more aromas of the wine, as well as open it up, which makes the wine taste better. ![]() The best wine glasses should leave enough space once the glass of wine is poured for it to be swirled, so a bigger, wider wine glass not filled as far is better than a narrower wine glass filled to the brim. Why do you need a good wine glass for good wine?Ī good wine glass will amplify the taste of any wine – which means it’s one of the best investments you can make if you’re a wine drinker. (There is seriously no bigger pet peeve to me than finding those ultra-thick, cheap, wine glasses in a luxury hotel room – yuck!) So let’s talk wine glasses. If you follow on instagram, you know I’m infamous for always judging a luxury resort‘s level of luxury on the level of wine glass in the room. And one thing I’ve always found interesting is just how much a good wine glass matters to the taste, and respect, of the wine. Enjoying a good glass of wine is my form of self-care. When I studied abroad on Semester at Sea, I even wrote a 20-page paper on the business of wine-making in South Africa. I’ve tasted wine in Bordeaux and traveled to wineries in the Italian countryside. I’ve visited Napa, Sonoma, Calistoga, Healdsburg, and the rest of California’s wine countries many times. I’ve always had a taste for (good) wine, as well as just a complete infatuation for the entire industry. I grew up about an hour from Napa Valley, meaning that I’ve been exploring wine and wine countries around the world since long before my 21st birthday (sorry mom!). Whether you’re deciding what wine glasses to put on your wedding registry, or just need to step up your at-home wine tasting game, these are the BEST wine glasses out there. ![]()
