Cobalt Blue Wine Glasses With Clear Glass Stem

This 13 oz. cobalt blue wine glass works well with any still wine, red or white.

The bowl is broad enough to allow your red wine to breathe.  Gently swirling your red wine will further incorporate air into your wine. 

When drinking red wine from this wine glass, grasp it by the bowl and not the stem.  Traditionally, red wine is served at room temperature, so it is proper to handle the bowl and transfer the warmth from your hand to your wine.

However it should be noted that room temperatures are somewhat warmer than they used to be.  Red wine should be served ideally at a chilly room temperature, that is, below 68 degrees and probably even just below 65 degrees.

Handle your wine glass by the stem if you are drinking white wine from it.  White wines are served chilled.  Using the stem helps your wine maintain its chilled temperature.

The rim on this cobalt blue wine glass is narrow enough to concentrate the bouquet on your delicate white wines.  It's a beautiful, dual-purpose wine glass that you will be very pleased with.

These wine glasses are sized for dinner portions of wine.  Even though they hold 13 oz., you will never fill them more than 1/3 to 1/2 full at any given time, so the serving size will be roughly 5 to 6 oz.  If you start with a smaller wine glass designed for tasting, you can end up with a glass that holds only 3 to 4 oz. unless you overfill them.  Don't make the mistake of buying wine glasses that are too small for your intended purpose.

These lovely and useful cobalt blue wine glasses are 7 1/4 inches tall and are made by Libbey.
