"Sample of the various types of wine glasses that are available. This first one with the larger bowl is designed for red wines, particularly larger-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. The one in the middle here is a little bit thinner in barrel, and it's designed for a lighter red, like a Cotes du Rhone, or Pinot Noir. And then the smaller one here is designed more for a white wine, specifically one that would be served chilled. Then the little pony glasses are designed for dessert wines, apertifs and digestifs. And then the snifters are designed for brandies, cognacs, armagnacs, and distilled spirits."
