The perfect rose wine glass
How do you find the right glass for rosé wine?
The first thought, white wine or red wine glass and the question of which of the two is more suitable, is obvious. Strictly speaking, none is suitable, because there is indeed the perfect rose wine glass.
A glass for rosé is a glass with a narrow diameter, which is slightly more bulbous than a white wine glass and the glass rim curves slightly outwards. This shape ensures that the scents of the wine are concentrated and that the tongue can primarily perceive the fruity notes and the delicate acidity.
shape
The shape of the glass is an important point: it promotes the perception of taste and should also be suitable for emphasizing the fruity notes. The ideal rose wine glass has a delicate glass wall, tulip or bulbous shape that tapers slightly towards the top and is large enough to aerate the wine adequately. This shape helps concentrate the aromas and capture the wine's fragrant notes. The glass should also be big enough
Clear Glass: A rose wine glass should be made of clear glass so you can see the beautiful color of the wine. The delicate, pale pink to salmon-colored color of the rosé wine comes into its own in a clear glass.
stalk
The glass should have a stem so you can hold it by the stem so the wine stays at its optimal temperature for a long time. The stem also helps avoid fingerprints on the glass and doesn't spoil the appearance of the wine.
thin glass
A thin glass allows you to swirl the rosé wine more easily and appreciate the wine's mouthfeel better. A thin-walled glass does not affect the taste, but ensures a pleasant, elegant drinking experience.
alternative
If you rarely drink rosé wine and want to settle for an alternative, you are better off with a white wine glass. Alternatively, you can use white wine glasses or universal wine glasses with a bulbous shape and a reasonable capacity for rosé wine. It is important that the glass aerates the rosé wine well and emphasizes its aromas.
enjoyment
Only fill the glass about two-thirds full, so you give the wine enough room to breathe and the aromas can develop optimally. You should also serve the rosé wine slightly chilled, at around 12 °C to 14 °C , to preserve its freshness and liveliness.
Remember that choosing your favorite glass is ultimately a personal preference that no one can dictate to you. Try different glasses and find out which is your new favorite glass.
