Wine Glass Guide – Elevate Your Tasting Experience
Understanding the right glassware can enhance your wine tasting experience. Namaqua Wines offers a practical Wine Glass Guide to help you select the appropriate glass for each wine style, ensuring you enjoy the full spectrum of aromas and flavours.
Red Wines
Red wine glasses are typically large with full, round bowls and wide openings. This design allows the wine to breathe, releasing its complex aromas and providing a fuller tasting experience.
White Wines
White wine glasses usually have a shorter body. This shape helps concentrate the wine’s more delicate aromas, allowing you to savour the subtleties of the wine.
Sparkling Wines
Sparkling wine glasses, often flutes, are tall and narrow. This design preserves the bubbles longer and enhances the visual appeal as the bubbles rise to the top.
Sherry Wines
Sherry glasses, also known as copita glasses, are smaller with a narrow mouth. They help trap the complex aromas of dry, nutty wines and prevent your hand from warming the drink due to the long stem.
Enjoying Namaqua Wines
While glassware can enhance the tasting experience, Namaqua Wines are crafted to be enjoyed with friends and can be served in any glass. The most important aspect is sharing good moments with great wine.
