Selecting the right wine glassware is more than just a matter of style, it's about enhancing the overall wine experience. Regardless of the nature of an occasion, i.e. a dinner date, a birthday party, or even a simple night out, a glass can be used to make every drink count special. At BIK Concepts, understanding the art and science behind wine glassware selection helps you bring both sophistication and performance to your table.
Understanding the Role of Glassware in Wine Experience
Each wine is a unique aspect and the manner in which it is in contact with the glass can alter its aroma, temperature and taste. The shape and the size of the glass, as well as the rim, are all systems which make the wine breathe and the aromas come to your senses.
- Bowl shape: A broader shape permits oxidation in red wine to give off rich aromas.
- Limited rim: Aids in attentiveness of aromas in white wines and sparklers.
- Stem design: The design prevents the heating of the wine in your hand and makes the presentation pretty.
Through knowing about these minor details, you will be able to turn the ordinary glass of wine into the experience of a lifetime.
Matching Wine Glasses with Different Wine Types
The ideal wine glass will require the nature of the wine being served. Fitting a variety and matching it with its best glass is a solution to the balance of taste and smell.
- Red Wine Glasses: These have a larger, curvy bowl in general to ensure the oxygen will soften the tannins and unleash the bouquet. Magnificent with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah.
- White Wine Glasses: Smaller bowls keep the drinks colder and isolate more delicate aromas, ideal with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinno Grigio.
- Sparkling Wine Glasses: The glasses in the forms of flutes keep the bubbles, and bring fresh aromas with every sip.
- Rose Glasses: Medium size bowls underline the light floral character and freshness of the wine.
When you invest in high quality glassware, such as the Wine Glassware Collection by BIK Concepts, you're not just buying glasses you're elevating the entire wine drinking experience.
