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.
