Great Glasses for Summer Entertaining
Summer flavors celebrate the growing season. They’re fruity, fresh, lively and sweet. They’re cool and crisp to help stave off the heat. Summer wines echo these flavors, and your wine glasses should match!
We’ve selected the very best glasses for summer entertaining to wow your guests and help you enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Read on to learn more about these season-perfect picks for your stemware collection.
Fresh and Fruity
Vinoteque Fresco provides the perfect start to a summer evening. The beautiful tapered shape is simple and elegant. Meant for fruity fresh red and white wines, it will offer up sip after sip of your summer favorites while the day melts away one quaff at a time. Try Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Merlot to bring out the best in the wine and the glass.
A Little More Body
Vinoteque Fragrante takes the night a step further. You’ve finished your first nosh and glass of wine, and it’s time to move on. Slightly bolder flavors and depth of character are the natural direction to progress. Fragrante is crafted specifically for medium-bodied white and red wines. Look for Chardonnay (particularly those that boast rich tropical flavors), dry rose and Pinot Noirs to savor from Fragrante stemware.
Bubbles
Maybe you’re a bubbly fan and can take or leave the still stuff. This is the glass for you. Vinoteque Perlage is meant for one thing: serving great sparkling wine at the height of form and function. The beautiful tapered tulip shape of this glass will accentuate the best attributes of prosecco, cava and Champagne.
Sweet Tooth
While not every meal calls for a dessert wine (or maybe they do!), sometimes it’s the perfect way to cap a night off. One thing is certain: fine dessert wine calls for Vinoteque Dessert. Whether it’s Tokaji or a delicious ice wine, Vinoteque Dessert will bring out the best flavor and aromatic qualities in flawless style. Simple classic styling has never tasted so sweet.
Digestivo (Traditional After-Dinner Drink)
Grappa is an Italian tradition and a great way to end an evening or a meal with something a bit drier than (the sometimes abundantly) sweet dessert wines. Vinoteque Grappa is especially designed for young and aromatic grappa and other fruit brandies. The subtle flaring at the top of the glass creates a visual appeal and helps present aromas to the nose. Brandy is meant to be enjoyed and contemplated, and Vinoteque Grappa is exactly the glass to do it with.
