Best Wine Glasses in 2020

Few people think about it, but the liquid itself is not enough to enjoy the alcoholic drink. It is also necessary to choose the right container that will not spoil the taste of alcohol. And this, believe me, happens. This article lists the best and most popular wine glasses. Let's analyze the recommendations from experts, according to whose opinions, each drink corresponds to a specific shape of the glass.

Criterias of choice

1. If the choice fell on red wine, then the glass should be in the shape of a barrel. In other words, the bottom should be rounded, and the neck narrowed as much as possible. So the wine will be saturated with air, and all the aroma will be gathered together.
2. White, on the other hand, requires a more elongated bowl shape compared to the first option. At the same time, if the exposure of the drink is still small, then the neck should be wide enough, but for the aged white, a tall and narrow bowl is required.
3. For champagne, it is recommended to choose "tulip bowls" so that the bubbles do not hit the nose (it happens that gases quickly reach the neck of the glass, create unpleasant sensations for the consumer), and the aroma does not quickly disappear in this case.

Types of material

• crystal;
• glass.

Their main difference is cost. This is due to production technology, quality, strength. Crystal is made in a more complicated way, so it is much stronger than glass. However, you can still break it, and if the glass breaks into pieces, then the crystal turns into small chips. Also, the first option keeps the drink cool longer - it does not heat up from the heat of the hands, unlike ordinary glass.

Some people think that crystal should not be washed in dishwashers, but most modern manufacturers establish guarantees that crystal products will successfully tolerate such procedures. Again, it is worth looking at the characteristics from the manufacturer itself.

Consider the rating of the most popular glasses.

• designate for yourself the marginal cost that you are ready to pay for the product, because crystal always costs more than glass, but it is much more reliable and stronger;
• you can first inspect the product, hold it in your hand - the leg may be too short, the bowl is narrow, the glass is heavy.Everyone has their own preferences, so it is recommended to buy in such a store, where they give the opportunity to return the product or pre-inspect.

The ranking includes the best crystal and glass products. Basically, the cost of wine glasses is not entirely low, which can disappoint many. But quality glasses will never be cheap, because most of them are made by hand, not machine.
