Wine Glasses for White Wines

White wine, with its varied and subtle nuances, deserves to be enjoyed in a glass that fully highlights its unique qualities. Our carefully selected range of white wine glasses is developed with passion and precision to ensure that every taste and scent note is fairly presented.

White wine glasses usually do not have as large a bowl and feature a somewhat smaller and more delicate design. This is because white wines are always served at a lower temperature than red wines. With the help of a smaller bowl on the glass, the wine can maintain a cool temperature for a longer period. White wines usually do not need to be aerated as much as red wines before serving. For dry white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, a white wine glass with a narrow waist, straight cut, and a small opening is recommended to highlight acidity and freshness.

For a fuller-bodied Chardonnay, however, it is recommended to be served in a glass with a wide waist, more bulbous cut, and larger bowl to emphasize the wine's maturity and aroma. In this case, red wine glasses with a wide bowl can be well utilized.
