Red Wine Glasses in Wine Glasses(1000+)

Why do red wine glasses have wide mouths?

A wide mouth exposes red wine to air. Allowing red wine to "breathe" for 10 to 20 minutes before drinking helps bring out and soften a wine's aroma and flavors. To help the process along, some wine enthusiasts recommend swirling red wine aggressively in the glass and then allowing it to breathe.

How should I store red wine glasses?

You can store red wine glasses in a cupboard, but always keep them upright. Storing wine glasses upside down can result in chipped bowls. You can also buy racks for storing wine glasses made from wood or metal. These racks mount to the wall or under shelves or cabinets.

How long will red wine last after opening?

If stored in a cool, dark area like a basement, opened red wine can last up to five days with a cork or red wine topper. Bear in mind that a tannin-rich wine like cabernet sauvignon will last longer than a wine with few tannins like pinot noir.
