Set of 4 Burgundy / Pinot Noir / Red Wine Large Bowl Wine Glasses

Set of 4 Burgundy / Pinot Noir / Red Wine Large Bowl Wine Glasses Glasses are approximately 7" tall with a 3 3/8" opening and 4 1/2" bowl diameter. The Burgundy glass is shorter and much more bulbous. It has a wider brim which allows for more aeration as well as for the aromas to concentrate and showcase the fruit of the wine. The top is more narrow than the Bordeaux glass. The Burgundy glass is designed with a shorter, bigger bowl to make the tongue's tip touch the wine and pick up on the more delicate flavor nuances. A Burgundy / pinot noir glass is wide with a tapered rim. This design puts a spotlight on fresh fruit aromas, as they are concentrated in the bowl before being channeled through the rim, which is relatively narrow compared to a cabernet sauvignon glass and wide versus a Bordeaux. Accordingly, the large surface area of the bowl allows more oxygen to reach the wine. The slightly tapered rim is said to direct the aromas directly to your olfactory senses upon proper aeration. The wide bowl also helps collect the more spirited scents while leading the intense flavors to the correct part of your tongue. This glass is also said to temper the effects of high acidity. This glass style is great for any light-bodied red wine with similar acidity and tannin levels, such as, pinot noir, Beaujolais, barbaresco, baralo, barbera, dolcetto, gamay, Zweigelt, St. Laurent, and even white Burgundy.
