The Right Wineglass
In a restaurant setting the glass is nothing but a container displaying the precious liquids served to compliment the meal and enhance the food's flavors. The educated and inquisitive consumer wants to see what he eats and what he drinks. A Sauvignon Blanc tastes better after being held up to the light. The green coloring in a Fume Blanc indicates to the consumer a certain dryness. A golden California Chardonnay might create thoughts of a buttery oaky taste. The golden color in most wines signals sweetness. The syrupy dark, raspberry color in a Zinfandel builds up expectations in the connoisseur and the thin blood red Pinot Noir reflects the quality of the grape used.
Looking through the wine tells stories by itself. Important characteristics as to clarity and heaviness become obvious by studying the wine held up against a light source.
