How do you set a table with wine glasses?
To set a table with wine glasses properly, consider the type of wine being served. Position stemmed red wine glasses to the right of the plate —above the knife and spoon—allowing for easy access and swirling. For stemmed white wine glasses, set them slightly closer to the plate, directly above the knife, or to the right of the red wine glasses. If using stemless wine glasses, place them directly above the plate or slightly to the side. This modern choice is practical and stylish, offering a fresh look while ensuring every glass is within easy reach. If you're working with a wine glass set, arrange all glasses consistently to complete your elegant table setting.
What are red wine glasses?
Red wine glasses bring out the best in your favorite reds thanks to their larger, rounder bowls that let the wine breathe and release its rich, complex flavors. The wide opening helps direct the wine to the back of your mouth, highlighting its bold notes. These glasses are ideal for bold wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah, as they enhance the wine's natural richness by allowing slight oxidation.
What is a white wine glass?
A white wine glass keeps delicate aromas and flavors fresh with its smaller, narrower bowl. This shape helps maintain a cooler temperature, preserving the crisp and refreshing qualities. The design also directs the wine to the front of your palate, highlighting its light, fruity, and floral notes. Ideal for varietals like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, these glasses ensure you enjoy every nuanced sip.
