The vessel you choose is just as important as the wine itself. A proper wine glass is designed to enhance the bouquet and allow the wine to breathe, unlocking complex aromas that would otherwise remain trapped.
When pouring, aim for the widest part of the bowl. This provides the optimal surface area for oxygenation, which softens tannins and opens up the fruit profiles of both reds and whites.
Always hold the glass by the stem rather than the bowl. This simple habit prevents the heat from your hand from warming the wine, ensuring it stays at the ideal temperature for the duration of your glass.
