The best wine glasses

Do you know why it's so important to choose the proper glass for your wine? Do you know what’s the most suitable cup to feel every sensations associated to this experience? IN&OUT COOKING has selected a variety of special wine glasses and we’ll explain you why you have to be careful while selecting. Invite your friends and family for dinner, put our tips into practice and enjoy a beautiful and special moment this fall.

Glass shape can affect the density and disposition of wine steamboards, depending on the opening of the different types of cups. These are the steams that that carry the scents to our nose, being responsible for the majority of the wine flavour. This way, when the wine is appreciated in the right wine glass, the flavour increases, increasing the value of its properties and qualities as well.

The design is developed in detail and the complexity of the smell varies according to the size of the glass, and that's why we have different perceptions of it. Using a crystal clear cup, with thin and good quality glass, will help you enjoy the wine. It’s important for the cup to be 100% transparent to enable wine lovers to see its tone as well as a good stem to prevent your hand temperature from heating the wine glass.

Let’s take a look at our wine glass collection, we selected exclusively for you.

Red wine: Red wine requires space to breath, therefore you’ll need a bigger cup with a larger bowl (lower side of the cup) to allow circular movements, and consequently, release its scent. Mami Transparent - Alessi - a large, chunky glass with a long and thin stem as well as the Esprit Pinot Transparent, with its flared shape, provides maximum oxygenation and reveals the complexity and aromatic power for a great tasting session.

White wine: The aromatic power of the white wine stands out in “tulip” shape wine glasses, narrower to help preserve the low temperature in which the wine should be tasted, thereby enhancing its aroma and acidity. The appropriate wine glass to drink this type of glass is our Esprit Blanc Transparent, with its oblong shape whose upper part is elegantly rounded, holds in the aroma released by its generous aeration surface, as well as the Dressed Transparent - Alessi.

Rosé wine: Rosé wine have red wine’s tannin and the white wine aromas, therefore, the glass must be small, the same as white wine but larger, to emphasise the wine’s acidity and balance its sweetness. With the Tiburòn Large Transparent you’ll experience all of your rosé wine flavour.

Sparkling wine: Sparkling wine or Champagne is a deep flavoured wine, characterized by its fine bubbles, therefore, the right glass should be tall and narrow as the standard flute to enhance all of the sparkling wine qualities. In&Out Cooking presents the fine Tiburòn Flute Transparent - ideal to taste it perfectly.

Port wine: Port wine is a special wine, typically portuguese, with a strong flavour and filled with personality. It’s tasted and served at special moments and it’s divided by different aromas - Ruby, Tawny, White and Rosé - it can be very sweet, sweet, medium dry or extra dry. It’s the perfect wine to toast at São Martinho day with some tasty and typical roasted chestnuts, served in a crystalline glass goblet, from Alessi. Besides Port wine, you can also have a toast with muscatel or, as the autumn tradition in Portugal demands, drink a generous wine called Jeropiga.
