.....they will bring the appropriate wine glasses for the variety of wine you order.

An appropriate wine glass?

The ones on the right?

Different wines would be served in different glasses, in a fine dining environment. At home, use whatever doesn't leak.

Most of those would suit a nice merlot.!

Mont Clair Bin 5 - Cabernet Sauvignon

[Edit: the capacity of the glass is 80 cl - not that I would fill it, of course!]

We almost always turn to these wine glasses we bought it Britain several years ago:

IIRC, a Merlot would go in a Burgundy glass. Same with a Cab/Sav, I believe.

About 20 years ago, I went to a dinner party hosted by wine (and technology) writer, John Dvorak. My mind was officially blown. I am not a wine fan, but everything he served was outstanding.

He also taught us how to drink wine for the best experience, including using the right glass, and why it matters. It is basically about channeling the wine across the right parts of the tongue and palate to hit the right taste buds.

I didn't run out and buy all new glasses, and I couldn't afford the wines he served, but it was a fascinating evening.

Same, I would have a wine maybe once a month. Normally with friends.

If we are having a red at home then the glass on the left, restaurants generally use the ones on the right-for me they are too big.

We occasionally have a bottle of fizz and we use glasses similar to the middle one.

We have been to a few wine tasting evenings and learnt so much, one thing is that expensive doesn't always mean better.

Wine glasses seem to have grown huge - so much so that its easy to drink a whole bottle of wine in only 3 glasses.
