When positioning one’s head to the glass, the nose is closer and is exposed to the wider surface of the wine. To explain the concept of RIEDEL Winewings: We chose a flat and stretched bottom, with a wing-like shape to increase the surface area between wine and air, which increases the levels of evaporation and develops a greater intensity of aroma. Georg Riedel's Vision - Modern Glassware reimagined RIEDEL Winewings was born and was about to take flight! Over the course of a year, through many tastings and by making changes to shape, size and rim diameter, what began as one glass for one grape varietal developed into seven different glasses to represent the most popular grape varietals. ![]() Slowly, a new shape emerged: A flat-bottomed glass, wide and reminiscent of the wing of an aircraft, complete with winglets. ![]() In the Summer of 2018, Georg was asked by a customer to create "the ultimate glass" for Cabernet Sauvignon, a project which was to provide the inspiration behind RIEDEL Winewings. Georg, as the creator of varietal-specific wine glasses, strongly believes that a finely tuned glass shape enhances the perception of all aromatic beverages. ![]() Though the glass didn't perform terribly with any of the wines, its appearance and feel significantly detracted from its appeal.Georg Riedel, in his long career, has shaped many functional glasses, all specifically designed to enhance the enjoyment of the liquid for which it is created. Testers disliked the balance (or lack thereof) of this glass and noted its heaviness and clunky feel in the hand. Paksh Novelty Italian White Wine Glasses: In addition to the Paksh red wine glass, we also tested the Paksh Novelty Italian White Wine Glasses.The highest compliment this glass received from a sommelier was that it seemed "totally fine." Not exactly a rave review. Paksh Novelty Italian Red Wine Glasses: Users noted that the Paksh Novelty Italian Red Wine Glasses felt heavy and clunky, with thick stems.While its narrow shape did relatively well with bubbles, it underperformed in every other way, stifling the aroma of both red and white wines. Decoratively etched crystal is definitely out of vogue, making this old-fashioned glass come across as "just like how Grandma drank," as one tester put it. Mikasa Agena Crystal Wine Glasses: The Mikasa Agena Crystal Wine Glasses scored lower than any other-even below the AmazonBasics glasses-because of their appearance.The sommeliers described this glass as a small decanter and explained that, while the large bowl is ideal for red wine, and even does decently with bubbles, it struggles to deliver the flavor and aroma of white. While some acknowledged that it could be a good glass for red wines, it rated very low for white wine. Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy Glasses: Testers were put off by the very large bowl on the Spiegelau Vino Grande Burgundy Glasses.Another tester compared its shape and build to that of a flowy, nondescript muumuu-only much less pretty. As one of our sommeliers put it: "Life is too short for this glass." It performed very poorly in nearly every category.

AmazonBasics All-Purpose Wine Glasses: Though we disagree on many things as an office, we all agreed that the AmazonBasics All-Purpose Wine Glasses were bad, at best.If you’re in search of an all-purpose glass and drink dramatically more red than white wine, this is a good glass for you. It didn’t score as well as our winners, but testers liked the shape of this glass and noted that the tapered opening contained and controlled aromas in a pleasant way. ![]() To be fair, we poured white wine into the Andrea Wine One Wine Red Wine Glass, which was specifically designed for red wine, and it stood up decently to the test.
