Red Wine Glass
Red Wine Glasses: Red wine glasses tend to have larger and wider bowl
to allow the Wine to breathe. Larger bowl allows the Wine to cool quickly if heated by hand contact.
Full-bodied red Wines (e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) glasses (called Bordeaux glasses) have a relatively wider opening which
allow a good sniff of the bouquet to the taster. For fruity reds (e.g. Pinot Noir) glasses with even
bigger bowl but slightly narrower opening (called Burgundy glasses) are used.
Smaller red Wine glasses are around 270 ml and regular ones are around 415 ml.
