Why Shape Matters
- Stemware consists of three parts: the bowl, stem and base.
- The height of the stem and the width of the base are part of the glass design (known as the architecture).
- Grape varietal specific stemware features finely-tuned glass bowls consisting of three variables: shape, size and rim diameter.
- Grape varietal specific stemware has to translate the "message" of wine to the human senses.
There are 4 Sensations in Wine
