When enjoying food and wine, the carefully selected wineware and food pairing will undoubtedly bring an exclusive feast to the taste buds. Here are some suggestions to help you create such a feast:
Drinkware Selection
Wine glass:
Red wine glass: Choose a glass with a longer body and a wider mouth to help the wine fully expand and release the aroma. Such as Bordeaux glass or Burgundy glass, which are suitable for different styles of red wine.
White wine glass: The glass body is narrower and the mouth is slightly tapered, which can better keep the temperature of white wine while highlighting its fresh fruity aroma and delicate taste. Like a Chardonnay glass or a Riesling glass.
Champagne glass: A long and thin glass body with a wide mouth, which can display the bubbles and aroma of champagne, such as a tulip glass or a flute glass.
Shot glass:
Whiskey glass: such as a scent glass (also known as a tulip glass) or a classical glass. The former can gather aroma, while the latter is suitable for adding ice or soda water.
Brandy glass: A glass with a wide base and narrow mouth, such as a Louis XIII glass, can well display the color and aroma of brandy.
Beer mug:
Draft beer mug: Large capacity, suitable for sharing with friends.
Pilsner glass: Slender, suitable for observing the foam and color of beer.
Mug: Perfect for all styles of beer, especially German beers.
Good food
Wine and Food Pairing:
Red wine: Pair with red meat (such as steak), barbecue, strong cheese and chocolate.
