Ever Seen a Hand Painted Wine Glass
Any sommelier worth his or her trade can tell you that the look of a wine glass is extremely important to the perception of the wine itself. Wine glasses or Martini glasses can be found in a superb variety of styles, with certain styles reserved for specific sorts of wine. Wine glasses fall under the category of stemware, which are drink ware that stand on stems above a base.
Thus a wine glass is composed of three parts: the bowl, where the drink is contained, and the stem, which supports the bowl on the foot, or base. The correct way to drink from a wine glass is to hold it by its stem. It is commonly assumed that this is done, particularly in the case of chilled wines, in order not to affect the temperature of the drink by passing along one’s own body heat through the hand and fingers.
But that’s a misconception, as wine fans hold drink ware thus in order to discern color and lucidity without their own hands and fingers getting in the line of sight. One apocryphal bit of lore involving taste that will basically be true concerns the actual construction of wine glasses : those made from fused or cut glass are alleged to gracefully alter a wine’s true taste.
Blown glass is an acceptable material for casual drinking in hand-painted wine glasses, but many experts in the field claim that the best quality wine should be served in lead crystal wine glasses. They certainly look impressive, a, what with a higher index of refraction that results in aesthetically more pleasing lighting effects passing through them. They also are heavier and so feel extremely nice when grasped, for those that take wine-tasting so earnestly as to reserve special wares for the activity must of necessity also find robust solid glasses an extra pleasure that increases all pleasure overall.
