Wine Glass Storage
Wine Glass Storage
If you have fine lead crystal wine glasses or goblets, you’ll need a good wine glass storage area. Seeing that wine glasses have such thin stems, the glass at the stem is extremely easy to break. Since fine crystal is so delicate, you must ensure that wine glasses don’t touch other heavier glassware.

Wine glass storage might also be for the purpose of making them more available for use, or to act as a display for your wine glasses.
Fine wine glasses come in three basic shapes, which you might wish to keep separated on different shelves, which is esthetically pleasing way of displaying the glasses.
Glasses that are designed for red wine tend to have a round wide bowl, since this increases the rate that the wine oxidizes. As oxygen mixes with wine, the air imparts a particular subtle odor to the aroma. This is why you see people waft the glass in the direction of their nose in a circular fashion. It causes the red wine to intermix with the air, creating a delicate bouquet which you sniff.
Those who are wine connoisseurs will certainly wish to have wine glass storage. They are the ones who will have exactly the right shaped glass for each particular wine. Also, it’s important that all of the glasses that you serve your guests match. It’s very poor form to serve wine to a large group in varied-shaped glasses.
Even if you were only considering red wine glasses in your display, they come in different versions. A Bordeaux glass, for example, is a type of red wine glass which is taller with a broad bowl that’s designed for such full-bodied wines as a Cabernet or Merlot. The shape of such a glass helps direct the wine to the back of the throat. Thus, if someone is that interested in wine that they ensure that the shape of their glass matches the type of wine they’re drinking, then it’s important to keep each type separate from each other and readily accessible.
A burgundy glass is broader than a Bordeaux glass would be; that wider bowl concentrates the aromas if you’re drinking such wines as a Pinot Noir. In all cases, the shape of the glass helps direct the wine to the part of the mouth that is best served by that wine… in this case, the tip of the tongue.
