Wine Glass

A stemmed glass with a bowl shape designed to enhance the aromatics and drinking experience of wine, also used for certain cocktails.

Wine glasses come in many varieties optimized for specific wines - Bordeaux, Burgundy, white wine, etc. For cocktails, standard white wine glasses work well for drinks like Aperol Spritz, wine-based cocktails, and some lower-alcohol mixed drinks. The stem keeps hands from warming the contents while the bowl shape concentrates aromatics toward the nose.

💡 Pro Tips

• White wine glasses work well for spritzes and wine cocktails
• Hold by the stem to prevent warming
• Fill only one-third full for wine, more for cocktails

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using red wine glasses for cocktails (usually too large)
• Holding the bowl instead of stem
• Filling too full
