Why are some wine glasses so large?!
Why are some wine glasses so large?
And why are they only filled half way? Also, what is good with steak and what is good with chicken?
Answers:
The glass is large and half filled so the wine can breathe which is supposed to make it taste better. I'm not a wine connoisseur. They say light wines, white, rose types with light meat and red, dark wines for dark meat. that's what I know.
Some are large and filled halfway, usually for red wines, to allow the wine to breathe and let its flavor develop in the presence of oxygen. The shape of the glass always depends on the type of wine.
I like red wines with steaks and chicken. Just pair your favorite red. Unless you're a wine snob, you'll have a good meal!
the glasses are large so you can swirl it around before you drink it .
I would drink what ever --don't care if its not what the pros think is best.
Red wine is often served in larger, wider gasses to allow the wine to breathe better due to a higher surface area. Try swishing the red around in these glasses to release the aromas and inhale as you sip it. After sipping, gurgle it a bit in your mouth to allow it to traverse over your whole palete.
Cheers!!
Red with steak (pinot noir is nice, as are merlots and cabernets)
White with Chicken and Fish (again, pinot grigio is very nice. there's also a vanilla flavoured white Pinot that is heavanly, it's called Vanilla Vine)
I usually like reds with beef such as Yellowtail Chiraz. For chicken or seafood, I usually choose a light white such as a Reisling or a Liebfrauenmilch ([LEEP-frow-mihlkh]).
THATS WAT I NEED TO KNO WHEN U DRINK FROM THEM THE JUICE SPILLS FROM THE SIDE OF THE CUP AND GETS EVERY WHERE...KETCHUP GOOD WIT CHIKEN AND STEAK SAUCE GOOD WIT STEAK
