The Lunar New Year is an occasion for people to gather together, share their thoughts, and celebrate after a year of hard work. During this significant festive period, there's nothing better than enjoying wine and delicious meals together. But if you're still unsure about choosing the right wine glass for each type of wine, let QE Kitchen store give you some suggestions!

Here are the popular types of wine glasses for the 2023 Lunar New Year:

1. Red wine

The glass for red wine is usually larger in size, with an oval-shaped bowl that is transparent and gradually narrows towards the mouth of the glass. This design is meant to allow you to swirl the wine gently in the glass, allowing the aroma to rise before you smell it and take a sip. When pouring red wine into the glass, it's recommended to fill only one-third of the glass.

2. White Wine

The glass for white wine is smaller, with a more compact bowl that tapers towards the mouth of the glass. This design is suitable for enjoying white wine while it's still chilled and should not be left outside for too long. When pouring white wine into the glass, it's recommended to fill half of the glass.

3. Highball

This type of glass is suitable for all kinds of drinks, especially cocktails with subtle flavors.

4. Rocks

The glass for strong alcoholic beverages. The top of the glass is usually wider to accommodate ice cubes.

5. Flute

Also known as a champagne glass, this type of glass has a tall, slender shape resembling a tulip flower. It is commonly used for enjoying sparkling wines like Champagne, which have bubbles and a delicate aroma. The flute glass allows the drinker to observe the bubbles inside the glass, and when pouring wine into a flute glass, it is typically filled up to three-fourths of the glass..

6. Snifter

This glass is used for drinking cognac. It is designed with a wide bowl to allow the spirit to "breathe" and release its aromatic qualities. The snifter glass usually has a low stem, allowing the drinker to cup the bowl with their hand, warming the spirit before savoring it. It is also suitable for drinking Brandy (a collective term for strong spirits) or unblended Liqueurs.

7. Cocktail

Also known as a martini glass, it is used for serving chilled cocktails without ice. The distinctive feature of this elegant glass is its wide, flared rim and tall stem, minimizing the chances of the drinker's hand touching the bowl and warming up the cocktail.
