There are numerous choices when selecting a drinking glass — a glass specific to wine, one for whiskey, another for cocktail and on and on. 
 
Using a proper glass enhances the taste of wine. You are probably confusing which is right for you, tall or small glasses, thin or red wine glasses. In fact, the same amount of wine in different glasses has a different degree of aroma retention. Fine wines require correct glasses to fully demonstrate their qualities. 
 
Here are the tips! Follow them and discover how to choose the right type of glass!
 
01 Old fashioned glass
 
The so-called old fashioned glass is one of the most common glasses, no matter in dramas, movies, or even our daily life. It is also called rock glass and tumbler glass, which is regarded as a good option for mixing whiskey.  
 
In the past, old fashioned glasses are used to drink whiskey and other distilled spirits and main drinks by the British. To prevent the temperature of the hands from affecting the wine, the walls of these glasses are relatively thick.

Shake a glass mixed with wine and ice in your hand to feel the collision between ice cubes and the wall of the glass is a good drinking experience.
 
02 Highball glass
 
The highball glasses have different shapes and capacities while retaining the same basic chimney forms.

Glasses for red wine should have a larger and rounder bowl in order to easily swirl the wine and help aerate it. They are usually designed with long stems, which also keep the hands away from the drink to prevent it from being too warm.
