Wine glasses made of fine crystal and wine glass types

Not only an expensive wine, but also an interesting precious wine glass may easily serve as a topic of a vivid conversation. It often proves to be useful to be able to talk intelligently about these pieces of spectacular stemware.

CrystALaCarte offers a wide range of fine wine glasses and goblets made of high quality 24% lead crystal. The wine glasses in our collection represent classic and both modern styles. We would like to satisfy those customers' needs who are looking for high quality luxury stemware that is unique and can only be located in exclusive crystal shops.

The wine glasses can be differentiated by their shape and design.

Wine Glass Stem Types

The stems of the wine glass can be characterized as:

Stem type Examples from CrystALaCarte's collection plain stemmed wine glass Devonna Wine Glass Donnafugata Wine Glass teardrop stemmed wine glass Merry Martini knobbed stemmed wine glass Mercia Wine Glass Radella Wine Glass twist stemmed wine glass Volterra Wine Glass inverted baluster stemmed wine glass Anica Wine Glass true baluster stemmed wine glass Edmanda Wine Glass bobbin stemmed wine glass   silesian stemmed wine glass Caroline Wine Glass Guendolen Wine Glass faceted stemmed wine glass Marsala Hock Wine Glass Cleantha Wine Glass incised twist stemmed wine glas

These are the most popular designs of the stem of a wine glass.

Wine Glass Bowl Types

The shape of the bowl of the wine glass is determined by the type of wine that is consumed. Some wine glasses allow the bouquet to develop fully, others, especially the smaller wine glasses were designed to let the bouquet escape in the air. The shape of the wine glass contributes to maximizing the pleasure of consuming wine. The major bowl shapes are:

Bowl type Examples from CrystALaCarte's collection wine glass with conical bowl Spadafora Delux Wine Glass wine glass with bell shaped bowl Willamette Römer Wine Glass Regan Wine Glass wine glass with thistle shaped bow   wine glass with pointed round funnel shaped bowl Idelle Wine Glass wine glass with ogee shaped bowl Morrigan Wine Glass wine glass with bucket shaped bowl Freiburg Jug Clear wine glass with trumpet shaped bowl Guendolen Wine Glass wine glass with round funnel shaped bowl Lynn Wine Glass wine glass with cup shaped bowl Taormina Hock Wine Glass wine glass with double ogee shaped bowl   wine glass with hexagonal shaped bowl   wine glass with stepped shaped bowl Arietta Wine Goblet wine glass with pan-top shaped bowl   wine glass with ovoid shaped bowl Edmanda Wine Glass wine glass with waisted bucket shaped bowl Mercia Wine Glass

When selecting a wine glass, one should always consider two important criteria: what will be served and where. For heavy tasty red wines it is suggested to select wineglasses with a large bowl and closed mouth. For light white wines wineglasses with smaller bowls are recommended. If the wine is served in a formal environment it is recommended to choose a wine glass that is simple, conservative in appearance. For family get-togethers it is allowed to serve wine in glasses with rich cutting work and interesting shape.

Wine Glass Foot Types

A glass specialist can differentiate among a couple of foot types such as:

Foot type wine glass with conical foot wine glass with conical folded foot wine glass with fomed folded foot wine glass with terraced foot wine glass with flanged foot wine glass with firing foot

Each country has its preferred bowl-, stem-, foot-types that are becoming fashionable for time to time. Quality and elegance however wil never go out of fashion.
