The best wine glasses in 2022

Few people think, but to enjoy an alcoholic drink, the liquid itself is not enough. It is also necessary to choose the right container that will not spoil the taste of alcohol. And this, believe me, happens. This article made a rating of the best and most popular wine glasses. Let's analyze the recommendations from experts, according to which, 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 barrel-shaped. In other words, the bottom should be rounded, and the neck should be as narrow as possible. So the wine will be saturated with air, and also the whole aroma will come together.
2. White, on the other hand, requires a more elongated bowl shape compared to the first option. At the same time, if the aging of the drink is still small, then the neck should be wide enough, but for aged white, a tall and narrow bowl will be required.
3. For champagne, it is recommended to choose "tulip-shaped bowls" so that the bubbles do not hit the nose (it happens that gases quickly reach the neck of the glass, creating unpleasant sensations for the consumer), and the aroma does not quickly disappear in this case.

Material types

• crystal;
• glass.

Their main difference is the cost. This is due to the production technology, quality, strength. Crystal is made in a more complex way, so it is much stronger than glass. However, it is still possible to break it, and if the glass breaks into pieces, then the crystal turns into small crumbs. 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 cannot be washed in dishwashers, but most modern manufacturers establish guarantees that crystal products can withstand such procedures. Again, it is worth looking at the specifications from the manufacturer itself.

Consider the rating of the most popular glasses.

The cost of crystal products is always much higher than glass products, but it's worth it, because the quality of this material is many times higher. Manufacturers of wine glasses in our rating declare that crystal after special processing does not contain any impurities that are harmful and hazardous to health.

How to choose?

• first you need to decide what kind of alcoholic drink you will drink: red, white or sparkling, since the type of glass also depends on the type of alcohol;
• designate for yourself the marginal cost that you are ready to give for the product, because crystal is always more expensive than glass, but it is much more reliable and durable;
• 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 a store where they give the opportunity to return the goods or pre-inspect.

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