Five of the best glasses for rosé season

The arrival of warmer weather ushers in rosé season, when the blush-hued, fruity wine sees a surge in popularity. Synonymous with summertime, the pink wine evokes warm days spent soaking up the sun in Europe’s most exclusive destinations. Offering a delicate and refreshing palate, rosé makes a delicious alternative to red and white wines when paired with light summer dishes.

NUDE Glass shares its guide to selecting the perfect rosé glass this summer, no matter the occasion. Available online now at www.nudeglass.com 

1. Diamond

The most common glass for rosé wines, the diamond style is a staple of home drinks cabinets. The tall, slim design minimises the amount of oxygen in the glass to keep the wine fresh, while the slight tapering towards the rim concentrates the fruity aromas in the upper portion of the bowl.

2. Tulip

Lending itself to young rosé wines, the tulip glass is distinguished by its flared lip which directs wine towards the tip of the tongue to balance out the grapes natural acidity and enhance the sensory experience. Often featuring a taller stem, this style keeps warm hands away from the wine to maintain its optimum chilled temperature.

3. Wide Bowl

Full-bodied, mature rosés such as those made with Mourvèdre benefit from a wider bowl. A large, round glass gives ample room for the wine to breathe and release its aromas to the whole palate, revealing complex layers of flavour.

4. Flute

When it comes to sparkling rosés, there’s a range of different styles to choose from which each provide a unique tasting experience. For special occasions the classic flute is one of the best options out there, featuring a narrow silhouette which tapers towards the rim to help retain flavour and bubbles whilst drinking.

5. Stemless

For those looking for a more low maintenance option, stemless glasses are a convenient choice for everyday drinking. Easier to store, hold, and clean, stemless designs are less prone to breakage which makes them ideal for casual gatherings.
