Red wine cup shape

2025-06-11

Red Wine Glasses, also known as tall glasses, are usually divided into Bordeaux glasses, Burgundy glasses, Cabernet Sauvignon glasses, white wine glasses, Champagne glasses, and multi-purpose glasses.

1. Classification of High Cups
1. Bordeaux wine glass: This type of wine glass has a longer curved glass, which is more suitable for adjusting wine. Bordeaux glasses are more suitable for tasting wines produced in the Bordeaux region. Of course, Bordeaux Wine Glasses can be used to taste most wines on the market except for Burgundy.

2. Burgundy wine glass: Compared to Bordeaux wine glasses, this type of wine glass has a larger belly, a shallower body, and a narrower inward rim. This cup is more suitable for drinking Pinot Noir grapes from Burgundy region.

3. White wine glass: The white wine glass and the red wine glass are slightly different, with a slender body and an overall height higher than the red wine glass. This design can better release the aroma of white grapes and is more suitable for drinking white wine.

4. Champagne glass: The shape of the champagne glass is slender, which can prevent champagne bubbles from easily dissipating and enhance the taste.

5. Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Glass: The slender body of Cabernet Sauvignon wine helps to control the balance of tannins, fruity aroma, and acidity in the middle of the tongue. The smooth curvature of the glass can slow down the flow of wine and reduce the bitterness of tannins.

6. Multi functional wine glass: The feature of this wine glass is that it does not highlight any characteristics of the wine, but directly displays the original flavor of the wine. This cup can taste various types of wine.

Of course, there are other detailed classifications for wine glasses, and the above are some representative classifications. When making a choice, you can choose based on your preferences or alcohol type. In addition, when choosing a wine glass, various aspects such as materials, craftsmanship, polishing, and size need to be considered.

2. Suggestions for selecting wine glasses
Material: It is recommended to use crystal glass. Ordinary glass has a thicker texture, while crystal glass has a lighter texture. In addition, crystal glass has better texture, higher transparency, wear resistance, and hardness. Therefore, the material of crystal glass cups is superior to that of ordinary glass cups.
Craftsmanship: High footed cups are either handmade or machine pressed. Machine pressed cups may have some bubbles, while handmade cups usually have better transparency. A good tall cup not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a crystal clear inside.
Polishing: The quality of polishing affects the quality of the cup. A good tall cup has a good luster and is crystal clear. This is the only way to better showcase the charm of wine.
Size: There is no unified standard for selecting size, but it is not recommended to choose glass that is too small. It can make red wine rotate in a glass, combine with air, and showcase the beauty and aroma of the wine.
