  1. Does the Shape Of the Wine Glass Matter at a Wine Tasting OKC? Attending a wine tasting OKC is an excellent way to try local wines and broaden your horizons. Many elements affect your tasting experience, from your perfume to the way you swirl your glass. As such, the shape of your wine glass is an often-forgotten but important detail that can make a difference in the taste and smell of the wine. Why Does the Shape Of a Wine Glass Matter? Wine glasses come in various shapes and sizes. Although some glasses are shaped purely for aesthetic purposes, many are designed to enhance your wine tasting experience on the Oklahoma wine trails. The anatomy of a wine glass typically consists of three parts: the foot, the stem, and the bowl. Aromas are released as oxygen reaches the wine in the bowl. As they release, the aromas collect in the space between the wine and the edge of the bowl. The shape of your glass affects the density and position of the aroma vapor at the bowl’s opening, significantly adding to the flavor of your wine. Different Shapes of Wine Glasses Whether you are tasting wines at a travel Oklahoma winery or in the comfort of your own home, it is recommended to know which glasses are best for enjoying certain wines to make for a great tasting experience. White Wines Full-bodied white wines are often served in wider glasses, as they taste better when slightly oxidized. Most lighter-bodied white wines are best served in smaller bowled glasses, allowing less oxygen to reach the wine. This allows the wine to maintain its crisp, light flavors. Red Wines At a wine tasting OKC, red wines are often served in glasses with rounded bowls and wide openings. The oxygen exposure helps soften the intense tannins prominent in most red wines. There are different glasses for light, medium, and full-bodied reds: Large Bordeaux glass - These glasses are designed to help smooth the tannins in full-bodied, bold red wines. ● “Standard” red wine glass - These are best for medium-to-full-bodied reds with spicy notes or high alcohol content. ● Burgundy glass - The large bowl is best for collecting the delicious aromas of lighter-bodied, delicate red wines. ● Sparkling Wines Sparkling wines like Champagne are often served in tall, narrow flutes. These glasses are
