How to Choose the Right Wine Glass?

The only attribute a wine glass must have is that it tapers towards the top – a tulip shape is ideal, this goes for any kind of glass, whether it is narrower or wider. Why is this important? The tulip shape means you can swirl your wine to make it release its volatile aromas. The tapering shape prevents these aromas from dispersing, and you can smell them when putting your nose to the glass.
