Wine glasses......Decorate your drinks

Wine glasses are necessary for a romantic evening in, favorite wine with your dinner or entertaining your friends family and coworkers.
Choosing the right wine, the correct wine glass isnt difficult. Always have large variety on hand. no two palettes are alike But keep this in mind:

Red wine glasses

The Bowl: Wider
The bigger flavors in reds need to spread out. The wider bowl also lets in more air, which releases bold aromas and flavors.

The Opening: Wider
Dip your nose into the wider bowl to get a load of more complex aromas.

Tip: When pouring wines, keep the wine level to the lower one-third the glass. This leaves lots of air and swirl room, both of which enhance the enjoyment of your wines.

BIG REDS (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz):
Get a big bowl and a big opening.

SOFT REDS (Pinot Noir, Merlot):
Get a big bowl that narrows a tinge at the opening.

White wine glasses

The Bowl: Narrower
The smaller capacity helps keep temperatures cool longer.

The Opening: Narrower
The lighter aromas waft well in a narrower glass.

SPIRITED WHITES (Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay):
Get a bowl with a little room that narrows slightly at the opening.

DELICATE WHITES (Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztiminer):
Get a narrow bowl and a narrow opening.

Chinese	Choose slightly sweet or off-dry wines. Rosès and Gewürztraminers are the best, followed by Rieslings and Chenin Blancs. With Tea or Peking duck, try Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel.
Japanese	Choose very cold, off-dry, fruity white wines or any sparkling wine.
Thai	Rosé is the best choice but Rieslings can be a good bet. Gewürztraminer is a risky choice, can be good or bad.
Vietnamese	Best advice is to choose very cold, fruity, slightly sweet Rosés and Gewürztraminers.
Mexican	Very cold, fruity, full-bodied Sauvignon Blancs and Rosés work well. Chili heat will drown Rieslings and Gewürztraminers. Gamays and Pinot Noirs perform well, too.
Indian	Choose full-bodied sparking wines and reds such as Merlots and Zinfandels. Drier, full-bodied Rosés work well also.
Middle Eastern	Fruity wines, both red and white, work well. Choose the drier Rosès and Rieslings.
Barbeque	Wines need to be both fruity and rich, Zinfandel or Rosè make good choices. Try Sauvignon Blancs with seafood.
Fried Foods	Sparkling wines are terrific. Any crisp, dry, fruity wine, white or red, works well too.
