At our studio's tasting events, we consistently receive praise for the exceptional quality of our wine glasses. Indeed, our preferred choice for most occasions is the universal wine glass from the Jancis Robinson x Richard Brendon collection. A versatile one designed based on the expert advice of Jancis Robinson, who has over 40 years of experience in wine tasting.

Choosing the right wine glass can be overwhelming due to the wide range of options available, including glasses specifically designed for Burgundy, Bordeaux, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, sparkling wine, dessert wine, and rosé. While you can find in-depth discussions online on the technical variances of wine glasses for specific wine types, we'll provide you with concise quick tips for choosing the ideal wine glass.

To enhance your wine-drinking experience, consider the following points when selecting the perfect wine glass:

1. Glass Material:

   Choose glass or crystal wine glasses, as plastic glasses can negatively affect the taste of the wine due to the material emitting its own flavor.

2. Clarity:

   Seek out colorless glasses with translucent walls. A clear glass allows you to fully appreciate the wine's color, age, and quality. It also enables you to observe the "legs" or "tears" that form after swirling the wine.

3. Thin and Fine Walls and Rims:

   Wine glasses with thin and fine walls bring the drinker into closer contact with the wine, also resulting in a smoother delivery to the palate.

4. Stem:

   It is preferable to have a stem that is sufficiently tall to facilitate comfortable swirling without influencing the wine's temperature.

5. Practicality and Durability:

   Look for glasses that are dishwasher-friendly to save time and effort during cleaning.

6. Lead-Free:

   Choose lead-free glasses for health reasons. Over time, lead can seep into the body and cause health issues. Lead-free glasses are also resistant to clouding.

7. Your wine tasting habits:

   If you frequently drink a certain type of wine, then you can choose specialized glasses that allow you to taste the flavors of the wine more precisely.

8. Champagne flutes (Neccessary?):

   Indeed, flutes are no longer the preferred choice for serving wines at many Champagne houses. Although visually attractive, the long and slender design of flutes tends to limit the complete expression of flavors. Instead, white wine glasses have become the preferred option as they are better able to bring out the aromatic character of wines.

We have invested time in choosing affordable glasses that are essential, high-quality, and versatile. Universal glasses, after all, are suitable for serving red, white, and sparkling wines. And they are storage-friendly.

If universal glasses are not readily accessible, keep the following tips in mind when choosing wine glasses:

• Style Over Color: When selecting a glass, consider the wine's style rather than its color. Smaller, bowled glasses are suitable for lighter wines, while larger, balloon-shaped glasses are better suited for richer whites and heavy reds.

• Size Matters for Heavy Wines: Opt for large, wide-bowled glasses when enjoying tannic red wines such as Bordeaux blends and Barolo. The ample surface area allows for increased air contact, which softens the wine and enhances its flavors.

Remember, the right wine glass serves as a magnifying glass, intensifying the aromas, flavors, and overall sensation of the wine.

If you want a hassle-free option, we highly recommend getting a set of the Jancis Robinson x Richard Brendon Wine Glass.

購買酒杯時要考慮什麼？

在我們的品酒活動上,經常都有客人反映，我們提供的酒杯相當精緻優秀。事實上，我們一般都是用Jancis Robinson x Richard Brendon系列的通用酒杯。這款酒杯適用於品飲各款葡萄酒,是根據有超過40年試酒經驗的葡萄酒專家Jancis Robinson的專業建議設計的。

選杯實在很難抉擇,市面上各式各樣的專用酒杯讓人眼花撩亂,包括專為Burgundy、Bordeaux、Chardonnay、Sauvignon Blanc、起泡酒、甜酒和rosé設計的酒杯,選擇正確的酒杯可能感覺很棘手。您可以在網上找到更多針對特定葡萄酒種類的酒杯差異的詳盡資訊，所以我們決定為你提供簡潔的小秘訣，以選擇理想的酒杯。

為了讓您更能享受美酒,挑選理想高質的酒杯時請參考下列幾點:

1. 材質:

   選用玻璃或水晶製成的酒杯,塑膠杯易影響葡萄酒味道。

2. 透明度:

   尋找無色透明的酒杯。清澈的酒杯可以讓您更充分欣賞葡萄酒的顏色、陳年效果和質量。同時也可以觀察旋轉葡萄酒後形成的酒淚(tears)或酒腿(legs)。

3. 壁薄, 杯緣薄且光滑

   壁薄細緻的酒杯讓飲用者更貼近葡萄酒。選擇壁薄光滑的酒杯杯緣,酒可以更順暢流入到口腔。

4. 杯柄:

   有足夠高度的杯柄可以方便您旋轉葡萄酒杯而不影響酒本身的溫度。

5. 實用性和耐用性:

   如選擇可放入洗碗機清洗的酒杯,可以省時省力。

6. 無鉛:

   選擇無鉛玻璃為健康考慮。隨著時間鉛可能滲入人體並造成健康問題，而且無鉛玻璃也不易起霧。

7. 您的品酒習慣：

   如您經常飲某類型酒，那麼您可以選購專門的杯款，更仔細地品嘗到酒的風味。

8. 香檳杯（必須?）：

   事實上，香檳杯不再是許多香檳酒莊盛裝酒的選擇。 雖然視覺上很吸引，但香檳杯窄長的設計往往會限制味道的完整表現。 相反，白葡萄酒杯已成為首選，因為它們能夠更好地帶出葡萄酒的香氣。

我們花了長時間挑選功能最全面、品質優良,且價格實惠的酒杯。畢竟通用型酒杯適合飲用紅葡萄酒、白葡萄酒和起泡酒，最理想不過，而且方便收藏。

如果沒有通用型酒杯,請記住以下選酒杯小貼士:

• 重視風格多於顏色:

  選擇酒杯時以葡萄酒的風格為主,而不是顏色。較小、弧形的杯子適合較輕盈的酒，而較大、球形的杯子則更適合豐滿的白酒和濃郁的紅酒。

• 大杯適合豐滿濃郁型酒款:

  飲用高單寧的紅葡萄酒如Bordeaux和Barolo時,選擇大而寬的酒杯。寬大的杯身面積可以增加空氣接觸，使酒變得柔和並增強其風味。

謹記,正確的酒杯就像放大鏡,可以增強葡萄酒的香氣、味道和整體感受。

如果您想要一個無憂無慮的選擇，我們強烈推薦Jancis Robinson x Richard Brendon酒杯套裝。這些酒杯是根據Jancis Robinson的豐富專業知識和她對完美酒杯的理念精心設計的。每件作品都由工匠用明亮、輕巧且無鉛的水晶精心製作而成。如果您正在尋找高品質、多用途的酒杯，這絕對是一個可靠的選擇。按此了解她為什麼喜歡這套酒杯。
