When choosing the right glass for your wine, it's important to think about the type of wine you want to drink.
Years ago, the importance of choosing the glass to better enjoy a specific type of wine was not as well known as it is today. In the past, wine was served in any glass available, without taking into account the characteristics of the wine and its needs to best express its aromas and flavours. Over time, however, it has been understood that the shape, size and material of the glass can greatly influence the tasting of wine. In particular, as can be seen from the previously mentioned sources, Riedel's creation of specific glasses for each type of wine and its importance for tasting were pioneers in this field.
For instance. :
For white wine , choose a goblet-shaped glass with a narrow base and a wide top. This allows the wine to breathe and release its aromas.
For red wine , you should choose a glass with a wide base and a narrow opening. This concentrates the aromas of the wine and reveals the tannins.
For bubbles , choose a flute, a tall, thin glass, to avoid loss of foam.
Some wines require special glasses. For example, Burgundy red wines should be served in tumbler-shaped glasses with a wide bottom and a narrow top to concentrate the wine's aromas and reveal the tannins. For Barolo red wines, ballon glasses with a wide bottom and narrow opening should be used to allow the wine to breathe and release its aromas.
What is the type, name and size of the cup?
There are many different types of wine glasses, each with a specific shape and size to suit the type of wine.
White wine glass:
This goblet has a cup shape with a narrow bottom and a wide top to allow the wine to breathe and release its aromas. 
Glass of red wine:
This glass has a cup shape with a wide bottom and a narrow top allowing the concentration of the wine's aromas and the development of the tannins. 
Flutes:
Slim and tall, this goblet is used for sparkling wine and champagne to avoid loss of foam. 
Liqueur wine glass :
A goblet in the shape of a cup smaller than white wine, which prevents you from drinking too much and allows you to enjoy its aroma and taste.
Riedel goblet:
This glass was developed for specific wines such as Riedel Cabernet, Riedel Pinot Noir and Riedel Chardonnay .
Bordeaux goblet:
This goblet has a wider cup shape used for strong red wines such as Bordeaux.
Burgundy goblet:
This goblet has a narrower cup shape used for delicate red wines such as Burgundy.
The size of the glass varies according to the manufacturer, but the shape is different for each type of wine.
In general, it's important to experiment with different glass shapes to find the one that best suits your tastes and the type of wine you're drinking. It is also important to pay attention to the clarity of the glass in order to correctly observe the wine and fully appreciate its color and nuances.
