When drinking wine, often the glass is just as important as the drink itself.
A well-chosen wine glass allows you to admire the hues of the tipple and truly play the role of the connoisseur. The delicate aromas of white wines sit better in smaller glasses to preserve the essence, whereas red wines prefer room to breathe in slightly larger glasses.
Here are some of the wine glasses that Portfolio North has picked out to inspire you.
John Lewis Marquis Moments red wine glass set
Priced at £55.00, this John Lewis Waterford Crystal Marquis Moments red wine glass comes as a set of four. The large crystal glass will allow the distinct aroma of reds to take centre stage, while remaining elegant and stylish. A fruity Shiraz or inky Malbec would be a perfect choice for this purchase.
House of Fraser Wedgwood white wine set
This Globe white wine two-piece set from House of Fraser is inspired by natural shapes that are fitted into a contemporary design. This glassware costs £60.00 and will be ideal for a Pinot or Chardonnay to indulge as you dine.
Living in Style’s Stölzle Lausitz red wine glasses
Living in Style’s Stölzle Lausitz Power set of four red wine glasses will add some variety into your glass collection with their more angular bowl shaping. With a volume of 520 millilitres, this set costs £24.95 and popular with connoisseurs and sommeliers. The broader dimensions allow the mature aromas to unravel for drinkers to appreciate.
Dunelm ribbed wine glass
This unique ribbed glass will add some originality to your drinking life. Dunelm offer it in both the small and large sizes, costing £3.50 and £4.00 respectively. Made from high-quality glass, this will make a stylish instrument and impress your guests.
Harrods Pembroke stemless red wine glass
Harrods’ Soho Home’s Pembroke stemless red wine glasses are packaged as a set of four to hold your red tipples. Priced at £65.00, these are able to be stacked when stored, so will save some precious storage space in your home. The lack of stem contributes to the sturdiness of the design, making them less likely to break or tip over.
