Wine Glasses & Decanters

Around Wine is an experienced retailer of wine glasses, basing all advice and products offered on the fact that the shape and construction of the wineglass dramatically affects the taste of the wine. There are 4 basic features that any acceptable wine glass should exhibit.

1. Thin glass. The thicker the glass the more it reduces the flavour of the wine as thick glass creates a barrier between the wine and your tongue.
2. Egg or tulip shaped. The widest point of any wineglass should be near the base of the glass, not at the the opening.
3. A cut rim with no lip or rolled egdes. A rolled rim disrupts the flow of the wine.
4. Clear glass which is uncut. The colour of the wine is part of the enjoyment and assesment.

Assuming these criteria have been met, the individual shape of each glass can be chosen to match specific grape varieties or simply offer pleasing shapes for the tabletop.

The glasses sold by Around Wine represent the best glasses available in terms of suitability for different wine varieties, beauty and standards of manufacturing at a variety of price points.

Bring out the best in your wine, with wine glasses from Around Wine.
