What
wine glass do you use with Chinon?
Question
submitted by Val
Chinon
is a light body red wine such as Beaujolais Nouveau and other
red wines from the Loire Valley : Bourgueil and red Sancerre.
The large
bowl found in red wine glasses is recommended to let the wine
breathe and release its aromas. The more powerful the wine
is, the more complex its aromas are, the larger the bowl has
to be in order for the wine to breathe.
Therefore
as Chinon is a light body wine, it doesn't need a large bowl
such as a red Burgundy wine which is a full body wine.
A white
wine glass - 3 ounces glass - is suitable for a light body
red wine. However, a typical red wine glass - 4 or 5 ounces
glass - is also suitable.
Please
note that a wine glass needs to be transparent, stemmed and
made of real crystal.
