"One very subtle but important part of the wine tasting experience is the selection of wine glasses. Over the years many different styles of wine glasses have been created to enhance the experience of each and every wine. In many places there are wine glasses for every style of wine made. It's not absolutely necessary, these three components will help you enjoy your wine much more. This Bordeaux style glass is built with a large bowl and a wide circumference to allow the red wine to not only get oxygen in the glass, but to allow its aromas to become trapped so that you can experience them more fully. This will enhance your flavor of the wine is wine as both a breathed and tasted experience. The smaller glass used for Pinot Noirs and lighter reds allows room for the aromas but doesn't trap them, and since those aromas tend to be delicate it allows them to float out of the glass much more easily. With the smaller white wine glass, this not only does the same with the elegant fragrance, but it allows you to keep the liquid chilled as you're using a smaller amount per serving."
