Best Wine Glasses of 2020

As if learning the vocabulary, geography, and producers in the wine world isn’t challenging enough, there are also

different types of glassware—and figuring out the best wine glasses is no small feat. In the last couple of decades, glass

manufacturers have made a killing off of creating dozens of glassware lines and convincing wine drinkers we need multiple

types of glasses to be serious about wine. Although the glassware section of my book, Wine for Normal People, wound up on the

cutting room floor, this is a topic my podcast listeners love to ask about and one I was excited to reexamine.

I guess we should start with the most important question: Does a glass really make a difference to a wine’s taste? After

copious research and testing, I can tell you that glassware does matter to your enjoyment of wine. Certain glass shapes and

materials do enhance wine’s aroma and flavor—and some even detract from it! I tested several highly regarded wine glasses and found the best premium, mid-tier, and

affordable options for all kinds of wine drinkers.
