The history of the emergence of wine wine glasses
Wine glasses for red wine were invented by the Austrian glassmaker Claus Riedel in the middle of the 20th century. However, his contemporaries at first could not understand the idea of the drink taste disclosure with the right selection of dishes. They drank it and more of the usual cups and glasses.
When it comes to quality and tasty drink, it is worth thinking about the dishes from which you will eat it.
But only at the end of the century Riedel managed to bring his idea to the masses. They realized what must have glasses of red wine to reveal all its bouquet.

Burgundy wine glasses - packagings high stalk, broad cup and base.
- Bordeaux glass is slightly higher and has a downward conical shape. His neck is quite narrow, because it poured spirits with lots of tannins. Aroma spreads saturation along the wall, and then goes through a narrow circle, allowing him to breathe fully. To pour Bordeaux, Rhone varieties, Tempranillo and others.
Its base is much smaller, which helps retain the flavor of the beverage.
- "Grand Cru" is used for the best varieties of Burgundy and Italian wines, different capacity. He laid out so that the content as much as possible filled with oxygen and aroma unveiled in all its glory.

For the "glasses" glasses are narrow and do not allow the drink to try a different way.

The main and the main difference lies in the different configuration and volume of the vessel, because they have different objectives the disclosure of properties of the beverage. If it has a sour taste, it should be taken to the appropriate receptors, retaining all its qualities. For this is a small vessel, and the content is cooled before being fed to about 17 degrees.
