With or Without a Stem



Wine glasses are available in a vast variety. However, you can broadly classify them into stem less wine glasses and stemmed wine glasses. While we are used to serving and drinking wine in the sleek, elegant stemmed glasses, the stem less glasses are also gaining significant popularity. 

The first of its kind was designed by the famous glass maker Riedel in 2004. It’s not like drinking wine in tumblers was uncommon. However, the birth of the sleeker and elegant counterpart of the tumblers was marked by Riedel.  Since then, the stem less wine glass box has made its place on bar tables, dinner tables and more.
Wine lovers often argue about the disadvantages of the stem less glass. The taste of wine is mostly affected by the shape of the glass and temperature. When you hold the stem less glass, the body heat heats the wine; thus, affecting the flavor. Moreover, unlike stemmed glasses, the food prints on your fingers fail to go unnoticed on stem less glasses. What’s more, their bulkier versions are difficult to hold. Therefore, wine served in stem less wine glasses is a bad idea while standing and eating.
However, stem less glasses have their advantages too. The risk of toppling down over the table top is bare minimum. Furthermore, they can be easily stacked into the dish washer after a group of guests leave your place.

Presenting it Right!




Wine is one among the exotic range of alcohol. To keep its beauty and elegance intact, it is essential to gift a bottle of wine right. So, if you too intend to gift your dear friend or family member a bottle of wine, knowing the right etiquette will add value to your gift. 

·         Avoid buying wine for the sake of buying a gift on your way to a party. Buy wine only when you know that your host is a wine drinker. Also, know your host before buying. Does she prefer sweet wines or is she a beer person? Buy according to the host’s preferences.

Champagnes are mostly welcome by all. So, if you do not know the host’s taste, a champagne bottle can make the perfect gift.

·         The price of wine does not necessarily speak of the quality. Just focus on the quality of wine you intend to gift.

·         Do not expect your host to open the bottle of wine at the party itself. Certain wines go well with a certain cuisine. He would have planned the wines accordingly. 

·         Remember to add a card on the gift. A small messages like, “I know you love Pinot Noir. I hope you enjoy it” is perfect.

After choosing the wine, package it well. A great idea for packaging is a wine box. You could also add wine glasses with the bottle in a box. A mesmerizing variety of wine glasses and wine box are available at www.winebox.net.au. Choose and appropriate one and see the receiver will be spell bound by your well-thought of gift.
