Wine Accessories and Glasses

If you love your fine wines, then you probably know that each type of wine should be consumed from a different kind of glass. Many wine fanatics would tell you that the experience of sipping their favorite Pinot Noir from cut crystal wine glasses is far superior to sipping from a cheaper version.

The process of drinking wine is about more than tasting it. A fine wine should be appreciated for its looks, aroma and flavor layering. Professor Claus. J. Riedel was the first person to design glasses for different kinds of wine. He worked with experienced wine tasters to determine how glass size affects the intensity of the aroma for different wines, which shapes direct wine to certain parts of the tongue and how fruitiness and tannins are emphasized by certain shapes.
