When selecting a wine glass, one should always consider two important criteria: what will be served and where. For heavy tasty red wines it is suggested to select wineglasses with a large bowl and closed mouth. For light white wines wineglasses with smaller bowls are recommended. If the wine is served in a formal environment it is recommended to choose a wine glass that is simple, conservative in appearance. For family get-togethers it is allowed to serve wine in glasses with rich cutting work and interesting shape.
