A good wine glass is essential for complete wine tasting enjoyment. You don\u2019t have to pay an \u201carm and leg\u201d to buy decent wine glasses.

This is how to decide to purchase wine glasses.<\/p>\n<h3>Wine Glasses on a Budget<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are on a budget, purchase multi-purpose wine glasses.<\/li>\n<li>Choose ones that are 8 to 10 inches in height.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a wine glass that has a bowl that is deep but moderate in diameter.<\/li>\n<li>Choose wine glasses that are made of good thin clear glass, not decorative or colored. Anything but a clear glass takes away from appreciating the wine in the glass.<\/li>\n<li>We have seen moderately priced glasses like these at Crate &amp; Barrel, Costco, Cost Plus, and Ikea stores.<\/li>\n<li>Here is a link to an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goodcheapvino.com\/bargain-wine-glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article on how to buy and select budget wine glasses.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Wine Glasses for Specific Wines<\/h3>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=best+wine+glasses&amp;crid=2IPYDNXXAQVIT&amp;sprefix=best+wine+glasses%252Caps%252C312&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_17&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=winecountryge-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=8b387a4869f6da8ce93e041129221b5e&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Wine Glasses<\/a> &#8211; Buy at Amazon\n<\/p>\n<p>The Riedel wine glass company started this trend. Riedel designed wine glasses that are shaped to bring out the characteristics of specific types of wines. One can have a set of Chardonnay wine glasses or Bordeaux wine glasses as well as other varietals. Now many other wine glass manufacturers are doing the same. Crate &amp; Barrel has a good selection of varietal wine glasses, and they are much less expensive than Riedel glasses.<\/p>\n<h3>Champagne Wine Glasses<\/h3>\n<p>A flute is the traditional wine glass for drinking Champagne or sparkling wine. These glasses have a long and narrow bowl.
