What are the differences between red wine glasses and white wine glasses?



Many people don't know the choice of wine glass when drinking wine. In most people's eyes, as long as it is a more delicate wine glass, it must be a good wine glass. But in fact, in the authentic western wine culture, wine glasses can be divided into many types according to the variety and color of wine, which means that wine glasses are various, and different wines need different glasses,    glass cookware    .



What are the differences between red wine glasses and white wine glasses?



Red wine glasses can make wine contact with more oxygen. They also have a wider mouth and a shorter and rounder body, which makes wine more widely exposed to the air. The handle of a red wine glass is usually longer, so that the taster can shake the wine before drinking it to further oxidize it. The action of shaking the wine glass can release the aroma in the wine and make the taster smell more complex aroma.




White wine does not need to be oxidized like red wine. Because white wine does not have the tannins in red wine, the taste of white wine will appear sweeter and lighter. The mouth of the white wine glass will be smaller and narrower to reduce the degree of wine contact with air. To ensure the freezing temperature of white wine, the wine glass needs a higher and thicker glass for the convenience of the taster.
