In order to taste correctly, the first step is to make sure you have a proper wine glass.
This enables the wine to release its aromas and to reveal its true personality. Good wine glasses curve inwards at the top to concentrate the bouquet.
Coloured glass obviously prevents tasters from enjoying a wine's true colour, and glasses with stems highlight a wine's virtues while a tumbler detracts from them.
Our taste sensations are also influenced by the weight and decoration of a glass.
