Best Answer

Port

There really isn't a specific port glass. Port would be served in a dessert wine glass and those are smaller than both red and white wine glasses.

And, no, you shouldn't serve white wine in a dessert wine glass. Serve white wine in an average sized glass that is clear. For more detail, to see a picture, and learn about all types of wine glasses, go to my website page on types of wine glasses.

>I think That red wine should served in V shape wine glass. No, do not serve any wine in a v-shaped glass, except if you're trying to do something funky with champagne. Actually, the ideal type of glass depends on what type of red wine you are pouring and even then, it depends on whose opinion you are following. The most important thing is that the glass is large enough to swirl the wine and bring out the aromas and that it is crystal clear clean and unadorned so people can admire how the glass looks. If you want to get a bit fancier, use crystal or at least thin, light glasses. Bordeaux varietals (cab, merlot) go in glasses with level tops. Pinot goes into a glass that curves in at the top to form a bowl that helps concentrate its aromas. You can check Ravenscroft's site or Riedel's site for more information.

Hi- Sparkling wine should be served in a Flute. The narrower the opening at the mouth, the longer the bubbles will last. Crystal flutes I have heard hold the bubbles even longer as opposed to regular glass, however I do not know the reasoning behind this. Do not use champagne saucers as the surface area for those will dissipate the bubbles too quickly. Save those for shrimp cocktails or chocolate mousse. Cheers!

The proper way to serve wine is to store it at the correct temperature, allow the drinker to test the bouquet before pouring into a glass, when pouring, pour the wine into the center of the glass whilst turning the bottle to prevent spillage, only fill the glass to just below the largest circumference to allow the drinker to swirl the glass.

White wine glasses are taller whereas red wine glasses are wider and more shallow. The shape of red wine glasses permits the drinker to observe the color more precisely.

How to Choose a Wine Glass to Suit The Wine?

Wine glasses are widely used and available to wine enthusiasts, offering a selection of wine glasses appropriate to each type of wine. Wine glasses should be chosen to bring out the exquisite taste and aroma of the wine. Choosing a suitable wine glass can be a challenge; follow this guide to help you formulate a good match. • Step 1: Consider the meal to be served. A wine is best served when matched correctly with the meal or appetizers being served. The best way to match a wine to the food being served is to know what’s on the menu first. Older wines should be served with a simple course. A sweetened or bitter meal and appetizer will emphasize the dryness of a wine and should avoid hard wines with sweet food. The more the salty or acidic the food is, the sweeter the wine choice will taste. Traditionally red wines are paired with red meat and pasta where white wine is paired with fish or chicken. Strong spices, raw fruits, garlic or vinegar may actually damage the wine flavor. • Step 2: Decant the wine prior to serving. Aged red wines should be decanted 1/2 hour to 1 hour prior to serving in order to remove sediment and allow the wine to breathe. Decanting the matured red wine will capture the wines aroma and flavors. • Step 3: Choose a wine glass for champagne or sparkling wine. A narrow rim and bowl shaped wine glass, otherwise known as a flute, should be chosen for sparkling wines or champagne. The flute glass minimizes air contact with the wine or champagne and allows it to maintain its bubbles for as long as possible. You should avoid swirling champagne or sparkling wine in the glass and keep it cool. • Step 4: Choose a wine glass for a white wine. White wines should be served chilled. Matured white wines are best enjoyed from a smaller bowl and inward rim allowing full enjoyment of the aroma and texture of the wine. A smaller bowl and outward rim should be chosen for un-aged white wines increasing the enjoyment of casual sipping. • Step 5: Choose a wine glass for un-aged red wines. A large bowl, narrow rim and tall stem, such as the Bordeaux glass, should be chosen for un- aged red wines. The large bowl allows for air flow and swirling of the wine which will capture the aroma of the wine. • Step 6: Choose a wine glass for matured red wines. Similar to the Bordeaux wine glass, a large bowl with wide rim, such as the burgundy glass, should be chosen for matured or aged red wines. The wider bowl condenses the acidity of the aged red wine and emphasizes the smoother excellence of the wine. • Step 7: Choose a wine glass for young red wines with bite. An alternative to the Bordeaux wine glass, a smaller and shorter bowl glass can be chosen. This all purpose un-aged red wine glass will take up less room on your dining table giving taste similar to the Bordeaux. • Step 8: Serve brandy in a brandy snifter. A large bowl with short stem brandy snifter allows for warming of the brandy by the cupping of a hand accentuating the aroma of the brandy. • Step 9: Fill the wine glass. Only fill the glass 1/3 to 1/2 full to allow the wine to breathe. The air flow and swirling technique emphasizes the aroma allowing complete flavor enjoyment of the wine. Wine glasses come in a vast variety of designs however the purpose for each style of glass remains the same. Generally wide bowl style glasses are used with red wines and narrow bowl style glasses are used with white wines. Choosing a wine to suit the meal or appetizer being served with a suitable wine glass will accentuate the wines aroma permitting full enjoyment of the wines natural flavors.[pic][pic]


Do you chill the white wine glasses?

Not necessarily to chill a white wine glass, it depends your restaurant procedure. some say don't chill white wine glass because when you pour white wine into a chill glass it will mix with liquid water.


Why is white wine served chilled and red wine at room temperature?

Chilling a wine brings out its acidity. White wines tend to have pronounced acidic flavors- think of the grapefruit aromas in a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc or lemony flavors in an Italian Pinot Grigio. If a wine is served too cold, you may miss out on other flavors, and your wine could taste tart or even metallic. Conversely, a warm white wine will usually be flat and unrefreshing. Red wines are generally better served at cellar temperature- somewhere around 55 or 60 degrees F. My personal experience is that cold red wine does have interesting flavors, but is also bitter and too tannic. A good way to find your personal preferences is to put a heavy chill on your whites, then let the bottle come to room temperature as you drink it. You will see a wide array of flavors, and even find whites that improve as they warm. I've also found that it is nice to put a light chill on reds and drink them the same way- you will notice new aromas as the wine changes temperatures.


Is white wine homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Wine is heterogeneous. A wine glass is homogeneous.
