Imagine the wine glass is a lever. The base would be the load, the stem would be the pivot, and the cup part would be the effort(force). When the wine is poured into the cup part, it must be the same weight and be balanced with the load(base) otherwise, the glass would topple over :)

Are wine glass different for every type of wine?

"No. Stemless wine glasses have no effect on the taste of the wine. These were invented for easier up keep on the glasses, as so many times we start off with a complete set of wine glasses and over the years we have to dispose of a few one by one because of chips in the stems or base. Or they do not fit into a standard size dishwasher, it's just a great invention all the way around. But again has no affect on the taste once so ever."
