I really like his approach to this subject. "Here's what this glass is traditionally used for and why. " " Here's my opinion on what might be better for the type of wine you're serving. " " None of these are essential to enjoying a good glass of wine. "
Ya it’s what wine should be!! There’s no reason for it to be snobby it’s much more accessible than craft beer (flavour are more “familiar” IMO) but with even more variety
I have learned more about wine in a shorter amount of time than I ever have before, thanks to your videos. You are awesome. I am a chef that works in fine dining and I am utterly delighted by your polite, relaxed and fun demeanor. You explain things in such a simple and approachable way. Zero elitism, pretense and pompous jargon. Thank you!
I appreciate him not asserting there is a definite and measurable increase of enjoyment/flavor dependent on the glass, he just suggests why you may find improvements between glasses, IF you do. Well presented. This guy makes wine feel more approachable.
IIRC a Chinese team did scientific research into different glass shapes. I think they included thermal imaging into that. One important aspect they report is that alcohol vapor sticks to the glass's wall, so the shape and diameter of a glass with the diameter of the opening influence what we smell (=80% of what we call "taste").
Man, I really enjoy Andre. He is so opposite of what I think when I imagine "wine people", a lot of whom can be really pretentious. Andre is knowledgeable, but also fun and doesn't strictly adhere to everything, doesn't care about snobby traditions and things like that. The guy just really liked wine and decided to make a career out of that, and that is great.
I worked in a winery in an relatively unknown region for a while, and I could always tell that when a “pretentious wine person” came they wouldn’t like our wine simply because they already made up our their mind. But our wine was pretty objectively excellent (as much as wine can be objective), competing with many well known regions. Wine people like Andre get so much more out of wine because they’re willing to explore and leave behind the BS.
I’m a wine person. Definitely not as knowledgeable as he but I do consider myself something of a connoisseur. I have friends who are wine people. We aren’t pretentious and I can’t tolerate pretentious people. You might be surprised. Those sort are a dying breed. They do exist though and they’re irritating as all get out.
There's a larger balloon glass than Andre's classical Burgundy glass, generally used to serve (white, French, Burgundy) Chassagne-Montrachet or (red, Italian, Tuscany) Brunello di Montalcino. That glass does even better with your alcoholic beverage.
can i just say how much i love this dude, and the way he can even put a positive spin on things that snobs would hate on! he needs to add "master orator" to "sommelier" on his resume... fantastic person
A sommelier I actually enjoy listening to. Very good at explaining things in an understandable way and he also acknowledges that different people have different perceptions.
I was reared in a family of extraordinary cooks and took to the profession when a younger man, at a very high level. Wine knowledge is just part of the package. I also lived up in West Santa Barbara County, Santa Rita Appellation, for a decade. A mystical mix of snobs and alchemist. All this "schooling" led to folks like what they like. Shut up and pour...
Andre Mack is the reason I follow y'all. He is an expert who clearly loves his field, and is imminently relatable. I am not a wine person, but I'm starting to wish I was one.
Straight to the head!!! That is why I freaking love Andre Mack. He can be bougies AF and straight hood all in the same 30 seconds. Andre you make wine so fun. Serious and approachable. The way you share wine knowledge is epic, inviting and everlasting
I have worked in the industry for 20 years, and this guy is literally the coolest and less bougie sommelier I have ever seen.❤️ You’ve got my subscription!
We got some Zalto glasses at a wine tasting at a local winery and they’ve become my default glass for any wine I am drinking. (They’re obviously not the real expensive ones, but they’re the same general shape.) On a side note, when my wife and I are at a restaurant and we order wine we always request stem ware with a stem. 😆 Neither of us like the stemless glasses.
I've always been stubborn in excluding the port and Chardonnay glasses aesthetically. I now feel justified in how he criticised them and I'm going to show this to my partner to settle years of sideeye lol.
@@BlackMamba-lt8oe he only said port glasses were necessary in a restaurant/bar setting as it would look like a dismal pour. Sane with the chardonnay glass not necessary
During this past winter, I went to visit my mother for the holidays and she was gifted a set of stemless wine glasses. Needless to say, we were both pretty excited by the idea of drinking wine out of a glass with no stem and what he said was spot on. For some psychological reason, drinking wine out of those glasses do feel more casual and its a go-to for me now. If you drink wine on the reg, you should get yourself a set! Definitely enjoy watching these types of videos, learn something new!
I 1000% think the glass affects experience and you can never have too many! Had my eye on that Zalto for a while now- an elegant stem is so key on a glass for me! 😍
Sometimes I see Bon Appetite post an Andre video but I don’t have time to watch it… so I immediately open it, like it, and then add it to my watch later list. Brilliant every single time, Andre deserves to win… such a good dude.
Loved it. Thanks. I just picked up that universal glass. I got it at William Sonoma for $15. Looking at yours here and holding mine they are almost identical right down to the razor thin rim. Which I love and hate. In general these stem wear glasses are true accidents waiting to happen. Like you implied you can break them just Looking at them. I just bought one for myself to see if it survives the holidays 🙃 if it does I'll buy it some friends. So glad you told the fun origin of Coupe glass I'd heard it years ago.
I am a Stemware snob, but it does make such a difference in not just wine, but Beer and Spirits as well. I love watching Andre. You need to do a Wine Show and travel the world :)
This is the first of your videos that I’ve watched, and like others have commented, I’d love to watch more! I like how you explained the different types of glasses in a simple and approachable way. I will continue to use my cheap grocery store Chardonnay glasses for casual use, but will better appreciate the experience when I use my better glasses for special occasions. Thanks!
I definitely agree with the stainless glass. I also use it for sour beers sometimes. it's a great glass to enjoy on the patio with kids running around bumping into the table. You're already outside so temperature control is officially out the window anyways.
As a daily Zalto universal glass swirler, they are absolutely worth the investment if you’re into wine. It’s truly the perfect glass and their burgundy stems are stunning too.
I did like André immediately, but I knew I needed to see more. Now he's really growing on me. Seems like a solid guy, that's no bs and likes to joke around. I like his approach to wine and wine marketing. Wine can be an elite and nerdy old sphere of knowledge that goes back to antiquity, but it's also fun, enjoyable, modern, creative and approachable. You have to get the former to evangelize the latter perhaps? It seems André may have nailed that synthesis.
Can you make a video talking about the importers? He talks a lot about "shopping back label," but I don't know what the difference is between good and "bad" importers, and not sure how to research that online! Thanks Andre! :)
I LOVE your videos! You make everything so approachable and fun, and the thing about stemless glasses ‘bringing more people to the party’ which is what white zin did in its day. Thank you! Awesome, keep it coming! 💕💕
so true, the same drink in its appropriate glass vs lets say a coffee mug is so different. The ability to see into your drink, to grt the proper aroma, and the act of ritual about it all contribute to the experience.
great video and explanation of the glasses, straight to the point and kept simple. i used to think any glass or mug will do, now i understand the reason for the shape.
I like his concise and clear explanations for the purpose of each glass. I've experimented with glassware a bit when pouring whiskey. I've found that having a mature sherried whiskey (like a Glenfarclas 25 or Bunnahabhain 18) really pops off aromatically in a burgundy glass. Moreso than a glencairn or a copa copita glass.
I'm a non drinker and l am obsessed with a good perfectly shaped stemless! Here in Spain we like it for Tinto de Verano and Sangría just because it has room for the ice cubes!
Great segment, Andre and totally agree you can just use one shape - have you tried The ONE stem by chance? It was named Bon Appetit Best of the Year when launched (full disclosure, by me!), for some of the exact reasons you state. Bravo on this piece!
Indeed, the glass can set the mood, which is really cool (when used correctly). I don’t have those stemless glasses, but I love my boxed wine in a Moroccan tea glass (white, rose or red, I don’t care 😅). It gives me kinda like a gypsy vibe, and it just looks fun & relaxed.
I could listen to Andre talk about wine all day long. He cuts out the snobbery, opens up the subject and puts the fun into it - it's alchohol it should be loose and fun. More Andre please....
My favorite is the burgundy glass for drinking red wine. There's something about a big bowl and the way it swirls. Reminds me of a chunky coffee mug in the sense that I don't know why I like it, I just do.
I thought this was complete BS until I went to a tasting that specifically focused on letting you experience wine in different glasses. They even served Coke a cola in different glasses and you could clearly taste the differences.
OMG thank you for mentioning white port. I have some and most people look confused. For sparkling I’m a coupe fan but regardless of the the drink it’s fun looking
Loved this video! And love the freedom and idea that sometimes the best glass to drink out of is the one that you enjoy the most! I drink all my wine out of various shapes of funky handblown glassware made by my friends company and whether its a $15 bottle of $80 bottle of wine it still feels luxurious and enjoyable either way because of that.
Great video good information. We love the casual stemless quality glasses. My wife tends to tip over the stemware. We call those the big girl glasses. She’s only allowed those on special occasions.
Nice Andre, I totally agree about changing the glass at dinner changes the ambiance and expectations. But my goodness, I really dislike drinking bubbles out of a flute...
I had the good fortune to take a "glass" tasting glass with Herr Riedel. We poured different wine into different shaped glasses and learned that at times a good wine in the wrong glass can really ruin the flavor. I do drink pretty nice wines sometimes so I have Pinot, Bordeaux, white wine and Champagne flutes. And I agree that for the best Champagnes I get out the white wine glasses.

"Here's what this glass is traditionally used for and why. "
" Here's my opinion on what might be better for the type of wine you're serving. "
" None of these are essential to enjoying a good glass of wine. "

Correct, the glass is mainly a marketing thing.
This guy is cool. Very knowledgeable and not a snob.
Ya it’s what wine should be!! There’s no reason for it to be snobby it’s much more accessible than craft beer (flavour are more “familiar” IMO) but with even more variety
As he puts it he’s a wine nerd. Not a snob. I can relate.
Agreed
Omg. Yes. He is nice explaining. Like you said. Not a snob.
We're all kinds of glassware mamufacturer .Of premium quality and reasonable price.
I know I've complained that we need more Andre Mack on this channel, but now that we are getting more, it's not enough. GIVE US EVEN MORE!!!

Make sure this guy is PAID HIS WORTH. Each video is crisp and enjoyable. I can't get enough of him.
My favorite wine expert. By far and away the most eloquent speaker.
KEEP THE ANDRE VIDEOS COMING!!! Just love him and I've been wanting a show that teaches me more about wine. This show is the best.

All restaurants that serve wine should watch this video to enhance the drinkers experience. Very well done sir!

I hate wine snobs but love it when I can listen to an expert talk about their passion and experience for hours. And I can learn something out of it!

Andre is the best person/host on BA’s youtube channel now. He might be the best they’ve ever had.
What a finish.....pulling the Shenehneh move by taking it straight to the head. This guy is so knowledgeable that I feel smarter having viewed him.
Love this guy! Even though, as a short person, I just use the wine glass closest to the front of the shelf so I don't have to get out the stepstool.
My favorite and go to is Burgundy glass... best for swirling and looks the best in my opinion.
…”touching it, you feel like you can break it with your mind” 😅😅

Me binge watching all of andre’s videos while drinking box wine out of red solo cups
Indeed, the glass can set the mood, which is really cool (when used correctly). I don’t have those stemless glasses, but I love my boxed wine in a Moroccan tea glass (white, rose or red, I don’t care 😅). It gives me kinda like a gypsy vibe, and it just looks fun & relaxed.
I love the experience of different glasses 🥂 I pick them up at thrift stores. It depends on my mood which glass I pick!!
I agree with the Chard glass preference. We use Redel Oaked Chard glasses, they have a wide bowl.
He conveys his ideas very well. So he knows what he's talking about
I could listen to Andre talk about wine all day long. He cuts out the snobbery, opens up the subject and puts the fun into it - it's alchohol it should be loose and fun. More Andre please....
I'm a huge fan of this guy. Really makes wine drinking feel more approachable and less fancy. In a good way.
My favorite is the burgundy glass for drinking red wine. There's something about a big bowl and the way it swirls. Reminds me of a chunky coffee mug in the sense that I don't know why I like it, I just do.
Soo, this will be my new favorite channel. ❤😊

Every time we get to see Andre, he always bring so much knowledge to share. Man, he’s so awesome 👏. Thanks for making me smarter again 🙏
And speaking of decanting wine - how about a quick discussion on decanting practices and using a decanter.
Thank you. Univeral Glass has changed my life. Ordering more.

I love stemless glass for the same reason you mentioned. Riedel's "O" Glass is just perfect.
Stepped my wine game up listening to this man. Haven't looked back since
Great video good information. We love the casual stemless quality glasses. My wife tends to tip over the stemware. We call those the big girl glasses. She’s only allowed those on special occasions.
Love how he subtly pointed out how almost no wine pros use champagne flutes for actual champagne. Use it for other bubbles, but not Champ.
I love the ending. Such a great video!
Nice Andre, I totally agree about changing the glass at dinner changes the ambiance and expectations. But my goodness, I really dislike drinking bubbles out of a flute...
