During a wine-tasting you might think that it’s not important to  use a different wine glass depending on the wine we taste, but actually choosing the right glass is quite important.

The bouquet, the taste and the balance of a wine are influenced by the appearance of the wine glass.

The opening and the diameter of the wine glass guides the flow of the wine in direction of the part of the mouth, demonstrating the most important characteristic of a specific wine. Also the belly of the wine glass  allows oxygenation of the wine releasing all its aromas.
