Well, let me tell you somethin’ about these fancy dessert wine glasses. Folks always makin’ a fuss about what to drink from, but lemme tell ya, it ain’t all that complicated. You just gotta know a few things, ya hear?
First off, why all the different glasses anyway? I used to just drink outta whatever was clean, but seems like these city folks got a glass for everythin’. They say it makes the wine taste better. Maybe it does, maybe it don’t. But if you gonna have a fancy dessert wine, might as well do it right, I guess.
Now, for dessert wines, they got these special glasses. Some are small, some are a little bigger, but they all kinda look the same in a way. They ain’t like them big ol’ glasses for red wine, that’s for sure. Them dessert wine glasses, they are usually smaller, you know, ’cause you don’t drink as much of that sweet stuff.
- Tulip-Shaped Glasses: These are the ones that look like, well, a tulip. They got a fat bottom and a skinny top. They say it helps you smell the wine better. Smellin’ the wine? Who knew? But they say it makes it taste better, so I guess it’s important. These here glasses, they’re good for them sweet wines like Sauternes and Riesling. Them wines, they got a strong smell, and the glass keeps it all in there so you can enjoy it.
- Small Wine Glasses: Some folks just use a small wine glass, you know, like a smaller version of a regular wine glass. That works too, I reckon. Ain’t gotta be too fancy. Just make sure it ain’t too big, ’cause you don’t wanna pour too much of that sweet stuff. It’s strong, you know.
Temperature, that’s another thing these city folks worry about. They say white wines gotta be cold. I guess that makes sense, especially if it’s a hot day. But these dessert wines, some of ’em are white, some are kinda brown, some are even red. So, I guess it depends on what kind you got. Just make sure it ain’t warm, I reckon. Warm wine ain’t no good.
Then there’s the fortified wines. Now, them’s the strong ones, like Port and Sherry. They say them wines go good with dessert, especially if it’s somethin’ real sweet. And they got their own glasses too, I guess. Port glasses, Sherry glasses… it’s enough to make your head spin. But mostly, they’re small, and they got that tulip shape. Keeps the smell in, ya know?
And speakin’ of dessert, if you gonna have a dessert wine, you gotta have somethin’ sweet to go with it, right? Cake, pie, cookies… somethin’ like that. And they say the glass makes a difference here too. The right glass can make the wine taste better with the dessert. I don’t know about all that, but I reckon it can’t hurt.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ you gotta spend a fortune on these glasses. I heard tell you can get some nice ones without breakin’ the bank. They say there are glasses that look expensive but ain’t. That’s the kinda deal I like. Ain’t no need to be wastin’ money on fancy glasses when you could be spendin’ it on somethin’ else… like more wine!
So, when you are pickin’ out a glass for your dessert wine, just remember a few things. Keep it small. Think about the shape, maybe somethin’ like a tulip. And make sure it ain’t too warm. And most importantly, don’t worry too much about it. It’s just wine, after all. Just enjoy it, and don’t let them city folks make you feel like you gotta be an expert. You just need to find somethin’ that works for you. That’s all there is to it, ya hear?
And if you ain’t got no fancy glass, don’t sweat it. Just use whatever you got. A jelly jar works just fine, I reckon. It’s the wine that matters, not the glass. But if you wanna be fancy, well, now you know what to look for.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on dessert wine glasses. Take it or leave it, I don’t care. Just enjoy your wine, that’s what I say.
