Selecting the Perfect Wine Glasses
Sparkling full lead crystal wine
glasses from France. Fine crystal defines good taste and makes wine taste better.
The first wine glass, according to myth, was made by Aphrodite cutting a bubble
of sea foam in half as she was emerging from the sea. The art of French glassblowing
nearly replicates that clarity and delicacy. Who should know better crystal for
serving wine than the French? Go to: Color,

Selecting Wine Glasses, stemware and barware
Historically, colored wine glasses hid
cloudy, dull wines which contained sediment, so by tradition, the hock glass is
often a jewel tone. Vintners have learned to "fine" their
wines. The sight of a deep ruby Pinot Noir, a golden Chardonnay or bubbles rising
in Champagne, can make this an important part of the experience. Held in the light,
there should be no blue or yellow tinge to clear crystal.

Stemware should feel balanced
in your hand (not top heavy) and stand evenly. The rim should be thin,
even and smooth to the touch. A gentle tap produces a bell tone indicating
surface strength.
In a dishwasher, be sure you know
the type of detergent and temperature recommended. If washing by hand, gently
dip the glass into warm, soapy water bowl down. Dry carefully. Heat expands and
makes them more fragile. Store upright. With care, they will last for generations.
Standard setting includes goblets,
6 ounce white/rosé wines, 8 ounce red wines and champagne flutes,
although you will serve only 2-3 oz. of white or 3-5 oz. of red per glass.
A taller bowl allows you to enjoy the layers of aroma as the wine evaporates,
straighter sides for whites, balloon shape for reds. The mouth should be
slightly narrower to gather aroma, but not touch the nose when drinking.
Modern table patterns often simplify to the basic shapes shown.
