Wine can be one of the most confusing alcoholic beverages out there! There are so many different names and types that originate from all different countries, which makes choosing a wine no small task. Not only are there specific types of wine, but did you know there are specific types of glasses to drink each type out of?! Well now you do, so when you are having a girls night you can show off what you learned from the Ladylike Diaries and pour that wine like a pro!
REDS
Usually you can tell red wine glasses from white by looking a the bowl shape. Red Wine glasses typically have wide bowls to allow the optimal air flow through the wine bringing out flavors you would not taste by drinking from a white wine glass. Red Wines are very aromatic and flavorful compared to the more subtle whites. Red Wine glasses allow you to get the most out of your drink.
WHITES
As I said above, White Wines are subtle wines. Though they still have flavor, they do not have as intense of a flavor as reds do. Due to this, the white wine glasses have a much narrower bowl . This helps keep the temperature cool which is great for whites because they are usually served cold.
