Wow! That was amazing! I never thought of these things as changing the taste!!!! Very cool! ~Elizabeth
Thanks so much for this Dini! I just moved to a new home and I'm thinking I might get some new wine glasses to match. Now I have a better idea of what to look for!
Congratulations on your new home! That is so exciting that you get to pick out new glasses from scratch!! There are so many beautiful ones to pick from...would love to know what you choose. Let me know!
the Schott-Zwiesel is my fav ,too. Only on special days i take the Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux.
I just got as a birthday present the Tasting performance glasses from Riedel! Super excited about them!
Awesome!!!! Let me know how you like them!
They’re great until one breaks off its stem whilst drying it with a wine glass towel and shatters into a thousand pieces in front of you, along with your soul 😩
They are entirely too fragile for 35$ a pop. Truth be told, I loved it while I had it.
I just started watching your videos and I find them so helpful and very interesting. I also watched a couple of your wine tasting videos, are you still doing them? I would be interested.
Welcome Lisa!! Yes I mainly do private tastings that people hire me to do virtually but I will do a few more public tastings this spring. I'd love to have you join! My website to sign up is: www.lifeinvino.com/ Cheers!
Wow! I have a hundred wine glasses, but had no idea that the type of glass could change the taste! Very interesting info! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Heather! Thank you for stopping by! I'm so glad this is useful for you. What are your favorite glasses?
This is so interesting. We have different wine glasses at home but I never thought to taste the same wine from different glasses. I have to do the experiment.
Wonderful Katarina!! Let me know how it goes!
this is very informative. I have cheap wine glasses, but love wine. take care
Loving wine is the important part!! Use whatever works for you. Glad this was useful info for you. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
For me it is a special theme. To drink for example a high class nebbiolo from the riedel superlegero burgundy glass, it s such an amazing feeling. I had never a better feeling in my mouth before. 😊 So yes to different shapes of glasses. @riedel pleas bring out a sommelier glas special for highclass sangiovese. 😊👌🏼👍🏼
what size schott glass is good all purpose as you mentioned in video. love the information and honesty!
My pleasure! I have the Sauvignon Blanc size and the Cabernet size but I prefer the smaller Sauvignon Blanc personally. Either one is great so it depends on whether you like it a little bit smaller or larger (they aren't vastly different). Cheers.
Informative as always, Dini! I really look forward to these videos each week. Even before I knew any of this, I always just feel that a nicer glass enhances the celebratory experience of wine. Now I want to upgrade my VERY cheap glasses bought for their replaceability factor. 😄
So glad to hear it Debbie!! Yes, breakage is a real issue with kids around!! Hopefully this will help you find the balance of both a great sipping experience and no breakage...! Let me know what you end up with!
Also you must come to my next online wine tasting inspired by you!! A Chocolate & Wine tasting in a live Q&A format where we will taste together. You can RSVP and see details here: dinivino.lpages.co/wine-chocolate-live-tasting/
Oh! What a great idea to talk about different materials (glass,plastic,cristal) and to compare them with....not even equal shapes of the glass! I hope you read my sarcasm between the lines...
I thought my wine-glass-purchase-research would take me many hours. 9 minutes later and my research is complete and I can move on to other things that I need to research-buy. Thanks for this short informative video!
My pleasure Nikhil - thanks for stopping by!
I love the idea you gave me to use white wine glasses for the entire evening when you are serving sparkling, white and red - and you don’t have time to wash a lot of glassware that week.
You know it!! I am all about the time saving and money saving hacks that NEVER sacrifice the taste!!
Thank you for sharing such great info! I'm trying to decide what set of glasses to buy, this video really helps!
Do you recommend any kind of travel case so I can take my glasses to an event? trying to avoid plastic cups!
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for stopping by. When I traveled to California to take my wine exams, I used the box the glasses came in and then put that into a slightly padded canvas bag. That worked well for me and it was a simple solution. Best of luck!
Dini this is such a good video. We definitely taste the difference in the shape and type of glass. We used to be wine "experts" and tasted it in plastic glasses. This made the wine taste so bad we kind of gave up on wibne for many years. Now that we have gotten a little more educated we mainly drink it from glass or crystal with a wide mouth to let it breathe. Great video
Awesome - thank you for sharing your journey!!! So cool how you were willing to figure out how you can enjoy wine more. What else do you find interesting or enjoyable about wine?
@@DiniVino I love how glass shapes influence the taste. We discovered this with scotch but it is really pronounced with wine.
I won’t doubt that they make little difference in functionality, but in build quality there are big differences. I tried several glasses in a store and the Riedel’s base is super flat and don’t wobble at all, while Zwiesels do wobble a bit. Not to mention you can spot some horizontal streaks on the Zwiesel. Now that I noticed the build quality side I had no choice but to spend the extra money on Riedels.
Per your recommendation, I bought a set of Schott-Zwiesel’s. I cannot imagine how anything else can be better. 😊
I'm glad you are enjoying them! I do too!
I came across your video on wine glasses the other day after a friend of mine had suggested trying Riedel stemware. I have recently gotten back into enjoying wine again after taking a mini year hiatus from it. I have broken my share of wine glasses over the years because I am also a visually disabled person. You had mentioned something in this video that truly intrigued me. A good friend of mine that is also blind quit using stemware and went to and inexpensive stemless wine glass. I’m not sure I like these things, my wife was just given one as a gift and I’m not a big fan of it. I am going to start looking up more about the titanium reinforced crystal wine glasses. Would love to hear any input from you on this. Thank you.
Thanks Mike for writing - I hadn't thought of that aspect but it is important to consider. I bet your other senses are even more sensitive, so I can imagine how a cheaper glass would be less pleasing. Try these or perhaps a higher quality wine tumbler made of crystal like those made by Riedel would also work since often glasses break at the stem. Best of luck and cheers!
Hi Dini! I want to ask your opinion about the Zalto Universal Wine glass, is it worth to splurge in this type of a wine glass? I find them too pricey. What will you recommend?I used to love white wine but since last year I find myself reaching onto my red wine☺️
I swear by my Riedel glasses to be the best!
Thank you Dini, enjoyed this video and your friendly tone and elegance. I would love to know your recommendations on wine, red or white, for someone who complaints of allergies to drinking some wines but not being sure why the allergies to some and no others. Do you know about this issue and what to try? Thank you
Thank you Dr. Ruben! It depends on what they are allergic to. In general, I find European red wines to have less additives so perhaps less possibility to run into those histamines. People vary in terms of what they react to. What wines tend to cause the allergies in this case and which ones don’t?
@@DiniVino I am not sure which ones cause the allergies but I have noticed that some don't. I'll suggest your recommendations for European reds. Does this also apply to whites? is there a difference when organic grapes are used? also, do you have a recommendation to a specific European red or white that can be tried to test? Thank you so much!
You totally inspired me to quit drinking my wine out of my stemless wine glass... (well, sometimes!)
If it works for you, go for it!!! But it might be worth trying different glasses just to see! Thanks for stopping by and watching.
Are the Zweisel glasses lead free?
I own all kinds of wine glasses--I'm in the wine-selling business, so knowing how wines taste and smell is important to me. I have Riedel, Luminarc, Gabriel-Glas, and Schott-Zweisel, and my favorites are my Schotts. They are well-balanced, perfectly designed for swirling, have steady, wide feet, and are nearly break-proof. I was thrilled to see you like them as much as I do.
We have 3 cats, and 3 grandchildren, so our Riedel almost never comes out of the china cabinet these days. But the Schott is so durable--and finely-made--that we actually enjoy it more than the Reidel, because we don't have to worry about using it at family gatherings. I have set of 8 each or Red and White SZ glasses--and we use them several times a week.
Love it! You are the poster child for why the glasses are so useful! Cheers!
Schott quality has gone down lately. Stick to Riedel or Zaltos
@@elliothm8370 When Riedel or Zalto start making glasses that don't explode if you look at them sideways, I'll start buying--and using--them more often.
.
Until then, we have 3 cats, and 3 grandchildren, and that combination is simply not conducive to any sort of affordable lifespan for either of those brands in "family gathering" scenarios. So I'll stick with my Triton-glass Schott's and Bormioli's, thank you very much...
I love thin wine glasses, but never really thought about why 😂
That is so cool!! I am so glad you know what you love!
you are the wine master
Very kind of you to say Lama!
thousands of dollars a glass-- Get me the cans !!!!! So Interesting ! Thats Crazy that crystal makes such a difference ! Still waiting for you to get very tipsy and shoot a live video ! Always such helpful informative ,world class information . You are the best ! Great B roll ! titanium glasses - Oh My :-)
Hahaha, yeah I mean most are only $20 or so but I took the extreme! Try it out - some of those fancy houses in Charlotte must have some. What's the craziest wine related thing you've seen in a house?
@@DiniVino Just some massive wine cellars that most people would consider a luxury condo in Brooklyn !😃
Hello, the amazon link to the Zwiesel Glas, has two options: glass and the other is crystal. Which one do you prefer?
definitely the crystal!
Are all Schott Zwiesel glasses break resistant Dini?
Yes, any of them with titanium in them are less likely to break.
I am about 110% more elated that you chose my favorite glass for the last 4 years as yours! 🍷
Right Sal?! They are so great!! Glad you enjoy them, too. Cheers!
Welcome to my channel! Thank you for watching. What kind of wine do you love to drink?
Riedel or Zalto anyday!
Before i used to drink from my schott zwiesel wine glasses but now after tryin'' out riedel wine glass which i bought from the thrift store i think i'm gonna buy more from Riedel both are great but riedel wine glasses i can smell & taste the red wines better , but i would like to know does wine glass stem height matters ? thank you very much , i only love red wine lol cause i'm a cold blooded guy who love his meat's alot lmao lmfao .
Hi there! Thanks for your comment and for watching the video. I don't find that stem height matters other than for comfort of holding the glass and I also find the longer the stem, the easier it is to break. Enjoy your red wine, cheers!
Which one pairs best with Coke Zero?
Stick with the can! 😂
Riedel compare other brand glasses in wine tasting, riedel always Winn !!
Why is a thin glass helpful?
Great question - I enjoy using a thin glass because it allows me to taste the wine, not the glass as the wine enters my mouth. I find that with a thick glass or plastic cups - I mainly get the taste of the vessel not so much the wine! Make sense? Cheers!
In reference to your personal preferences. In my opinion the opening on top of a glass must not be too small or too tight. A small diametre on top exaggerates the qualities of the wine you’re driniking. Which means a very good (red) wine expresses itself far too much, as if it would be served at too high temperature. Remember, when in 1855 the best wines in Medoc (France) were classified, they tested in simple (however sometimes expensive) and 'open' glasses. Modern? Perhaps I prefere Riedel and Nachtmann over Schott.Zwiesel.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your preferences. I see how some people would prefer that.
We've learned so much about sensory perception since 1855 and modern glasses take that into consideration.
I don't find the wines express themselves too much. In the end, much comes down to personal preference.
@@DiniVino In my comment I forgot to mention my compliments for your very nice video.Thanks a lot for your response. You’ re right, it comes down to personal preference, and I‘m not against modern glass design at all (the 'art' of making modern instead of great wines is another story). All that matters is your own choice (and doing some testing, perhaps including some antique glasses). For example the Riedel Vinum (Bordeaux) is very good in my opinion. It’s simple but delicate design serves Bordeaux-type wines extraordinary. Nachtmann Vivendi would be a cheaper but very good alternative. Best regards from The Netherlands!
@@alexanderkowollik3681 Many thanks, Cheers!
For me, one kind of glass, all night is ok.
I really want to go to the dollar store but I guess
I use military boots to drink wine, especially when missiles are falling over our heads
0:43 How not to hold stemware.
You are sooo...special....probably have an awsome lineage.....your ancestors are probably sooo highborn....probably drunk pruno ot of a yaks ball sak fk off bro
@@jsunnj76 It's not a question of lineage. 😉 Stemware is meant to be hold by the stem (hence the name) in order to prevent your body heat from warming up the beverage 🌡️. I didn't mean to offend anyone. My comment was intended to be educational, since this is an educational video about Riedel wine glasses. 🍷
@@comerJapones I wouldn't say it is "how not to hold stemware" as people can hold it however they like and enjoy wine best. I encourage people to hold the stem to keep the wine at a cooler temperature as you mention, but some people don't mind warming the wine. Often I and other professionals intentionally warm our wines with our hands if served too cold. I try to spend less time telling people what is wrong and more time helping them enjoy! Cheers and thanks for your educational point.
@@DiniVino we are both right. 😉
The video started very well. Nice questions to yourself, but the end looks like a sponsorized video of Shott. There are no reasons (except your aesthetics taste) to choose a Shott glass. Your conclusion is that because of the titanium in the melting process of the material, you should choose that glass? Sincerely i was expecting more form your point of view. Durability was not part of the initial survey, and a narrow opening of one glass cannot define the standard. Sorry to say, but the result is very second-rate.
Sorry to hear you didn't find any value.
Which member of the British family did you tutor? Was it Prince Andrew when he was staying at Jeff Epstein's house?
This is probably the most pretentious thing I've seen in a long time. Claiming that the type of glass actually affects the taste of the wine is beyond ridiculous.
