When buying a wine glass be aware that the taste of wine is influenced by several factors.

Then first consider what type of wine you will be drinking. In our assortment you will find different brands such as Schott Zwiesel and Chef & Sommelier. Each brand has its own unique value. For example Schott Zwiesel known for its beautiful, high-quality glasses. Because of the Tristan glass used, the wine glasses are especially hard, and resistant to corrosion and scratches.

Our wide range of products for every budget includes wine glasses of all shapes, sizes and brands. To properly accentuate the aroma of the white wine, it is important to use the right glass.

Then you should drink one of the following types of wine:

What is the difference between red wine glasses and white wine glasses?

Red wine glasses are a lot bigger and wider than white wine glasses. That way, more air can get to the wine, allowing the taste to come out better. This is because the taste of red wine is a lot more complex than that of white wine. By drinking red wine from a wide and large wine glass, the flavor comes out better and you enjoy your red wine more. White wine glasses are often smaller and have a pointed mould. This is because white wine has less bouquet than red wine. Also, this keeps white wine cooler for longer. Which is important because white wine is usually drunk chilled. It is important to note that you should not drink red and white wine from the same glass. Red wine belongs in a special red wine glass and white wine in a special white wine glass. This ensures that the taste of the wine is not affected.

What should you pay attention to when buying wine glasses?

If you enjoy drinking a nice glass of wine, it is important that you have the right wine glasses in your home. There are different types and sizes of glasses, so there is always one that suits your taste. When buying wine glasses, it is important to pay attention to the following points:

The size: Red wine glasses are larger and wider than white wine glasses. So always choose the right glass so that you can taste the flavor of the wine to the fullest. Red and white wine glasses also come in different sizes. The more wine you want to pour, the larger logically your wine glass should be. The average size of red wine glasses is about 500 ml and for white wine glasses it is about 400 ml.
The mould: white wine glasses are often pointed, while red wine glasses are more spherical. So again, choose the glass that matches the wine.
The price: luxury wine glasses do not have to be expensive. At Cookinglife you can find different types of wine glasses for a reasonable price, but at a high quality. We often have beautiful offers from top brands such as Schott Zwiesel or Nachtmann.
The material: Usually wine glasses are available in 2 types of glass, namely: glass or crystal. Wine glasses made of crystal are very nice and shiny, but they are more fragile. Glasses made of glass eventually become dull, but they are less breakable.
Color: We recommend that you avoid wine glasses with any color. For an optimal wine drinking experience, you do well to drink your red or white wine from wine glasses that are transparent.

What are the best wine glasses?

The best wine glasses are the ones that suit your taste and budget. There is no "ideal" wine glass, so just choose the one you like or that you pay a good price for. If you don't know where to start, you can always buy a wine glass set. That way, at least you'll always have enough glasses in the house and you'll be assured of good value for money. For example, we recommend the Schott Zwiesel Fortissimo 18-piece wine glass set. This consists of 6 white wine glasses, 6 red wine glasses and 6 gin tonic glasses. So in one fell swoop, you have a lot of glasses in your home that are made of high-quality crystal glass. This means that they have lasting clarity and high scratch and break resistance.

How many wine glasses are in a set?

A standard set consists of six glasses, but this can vary from set to set. So always look carefully at the number of glasses in a set before you buy it. That way you can be sure you have enough glasses.

What glass are wine glasses made of?

Wine glasses are often made of crystal or glass. Crystal is a thin, transparent material that lets light through. The advantage of crystal is that it does not become dull and continues to shine beautifully. Therefore, the taste of the wine benefits better with glasses made of thin glass. Wine glasses made of crystal will therefore offer a better taste experience than glasses made of regular glass. You will also get a better resounding sound when you toast. Glass is a lot cheaper than crystal, which is why it is often used for wine glasses. The advantage of glass is that it is less breakable than crystal. This means you are less likely to break a glass if you accidentally bump into something. Normal glass does eventually become dull, where crystal glasses retain their luster.

Difference between crystal glass and normal glass:

Crystal glass is:
- Thin glass
- A glass that does not affect the taste of the wine
- Clear glass
- A glass that gives a beautiful resounding sound when you toast
Normal glass is:
- Thicker glass than crystal glass
- Usually cheaper than crystal glass
- Usually a suitable glass for the dishwasher
- Less breakable than crystal glass

What size wine glass is best?

This is different for everyone. Some people like a large glass so they can drink more wine. Others like a small glass better, because then the wine does not evaporate quickly. So choose the size that suits your taste.

What are leading brands when it comes to wine glasses?

There are several brands known for their wine glasses. For example, consider Riedel, Leonardo, Schott Zwiesel and Nachtmann. These are all brands known for their quality and beautiful designs. For example, in our selection we have the wildly famous Leonardo Puccini wine glasses. These are made of high-quality TeQton glass, so the glasses enjoy lasting clarity and high resistance to breakage and scratching. We have both the Puccini red and white wine glasses. We also offer the popular Riedel Sauvignon Blanc wine glasses and the Pinot Noir glasses. There is something for everyone!
