To make drinking wine even more conscious and elegant, we want to tell you some interesting facts about wine glasses 

• The shape of the glass directly affects the taste of the wine. Different shapes direct the wine to different parts of the tongue, enhancing certain taste sensations - acidity, sweetness, tannins.
• The shape of the glass plays a key role in revealing the aromas of wine. Thus, glasses with a wide bowl increase the surface area of ​​the wine in contact with the air. This promotes a more active release of aromatic molecules, which evaporate and rise upward. Such glasses are suitable for red wines, which need to "breathe" and reveal their complex bouquet. Glasses with a narrow bowl, on the contrary, reduce the surface area of ​​the wine, limiting its contact with the air. This helps to preserve the delicate aromas of white and sparkling wines, which can quickly evaporate.
• The first wine glasses were not made of glass, but of clay, metal, and even animal horns.
• Riedel is one of the most famous wine glass manufacturers. They have developed special glasses for different grape varieties, claiming that this maximizes the potential of each wine.
• The ringing sound of a crystal glass is a result of the high lead content in the crystal. However, modern glasses are often made of lead-free crystal, which also has a beautiful ringing sound.
• The color of wine can affect our perception of its taste. Use clear glasses to properly assess the color of the wine.

Choose wine glasses wisely to enjoy every sip of wine to the fullest!
