First, for clarification purposes, I should say that the term “crystal” when used in any stemware or glass application is a bit of a misnomer, as glass lacks a crystalline structure. The term crystal began with Venetian glass makers using “cristallo” to describe their imitated rock crystal glass, and remains popular today for historical and commercial reasons.  As we the holiday season continues to swirl around us, the parties, gatherings and get-togethers are full of friends and family, food and of course, wine. Deep reds, crisp whites and aromatic blushes wink at us from all types and sizes of wine glasses. The key to finding the right wine glass for your next party or even your next glass of Bordeaux or Sauvignon Blanc is understanding what wine connoisseurs have always known – that the shape of glass you choose is determined by the wine you plan to pour into it.

SHAPE & PLEASURE: “THE CONTENT DETERMINES THE SHAPE” SOMMELIERS The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.” (Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate) Professor Claus J. Riedel was the first designer to recognize that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the glass from which they are drunk. |
