Great grapes in a glass

To really enjoy a wine to its fullest, it's important to experience the subtle nuances that different varieties offer.

One way to do so is to make sure you're drinking from the proper glass. While you won't likely notice substantial difference based on what type of glass you drink from, small differences in the size, and shape of a glass can bring out small differences in a wine. The size of the rim, for example, determines which part of your tongue tastes the wine. Since different areas of the tongue are more sensitive to different tastes, glasses are designed to deliver wine to areas of the tongue that will bring out the best of a particular wine.

Below, I've attached a chart of different types of wine glasses and the wines that pair best with them from www.2basnob.com.
