Introduction

In the world of wine tasting, every detail matters. The design and shape of your glass play a critical role in how aromas are released and experienced, ultimately elevating your overall sensory enjoyment.

The Science Behind Glass Shape

Research in oenology shows that the geometry of a wine glass can affect oxygenation and guide aromatic compounds to specific areas of the palate. A carefully crafted curve can enhance fragrance intensity, making even subtle notes more pronounced.
