The Best Wine Glass for Every Type of Wine

A stately wine calls for a stately glass, and Made In marries tradition and modernity in a way that doesn't feel stuffy. The wide bowl allows for airflow and decanting, while the taller shape helps the bouquet develop. It's the kind of glass that practically begs to be swirled, with a thin, elegant profile that's still anchored by titanium-reinforced stems. If they're strong enough for industrial, restaurant-style dishwashers, they're strong enough to survive your wine and cheese nights.

Wine snobbery used to relegate white wines to the B-tier, made for crushing on a hot summer's day, not for savoring and unpacking tasting notes. But as our dear friend Dora the Explorer once said, "Why not both?" White wines are a great match for the "universal" shape employed by Public Goods: you want enough surface area to give your wine some room, but don't need some cavernous bowl made for a Bordeaux. The generous price tag belies these glasses' high-quality construction, made from sleek, pulled stem glass-blowing techniques. A real win-win when you need quality and quantity.

In my experience, juicier, chilled reds have a tendency to go down a little too smoothly. It never hurts to cap your serving size with a smaller glass – like this Thistle variety from Anthropologie. The bulbous base is fun to hold onto as you try to find the patience to take smaller sips, and the recycled glass gives each glass a more vintage, lived-in look. It's an everyday glass for the kind of wine that always hits perfectly, no matter the season.

The world of natural wine is all but throwing out the rule book when it comes to traditional practices – so why can't you do the same when it comes to your glassware? This grab bag of Bitossi glasses are fun and irreverent without being CrAzYyY in a way that feels cloying. They're elegant enough to look at home on any table, with unique hues that will complement the jewel-like tones of funky orange and rosé wines. If you're a natty-wine head, we already know you like to let your hair down.

Why yes, I am feeling very proud of myself for including vermouth on a wine roundup! As a fortified wine, vermouth can be a little syrupy to sip on its own, but is downright delicious over ice and even better with a splash of soda. As such, I'd recommend a cocktail tumbler, and these Night + Day Glasses from Our Place are some of my very favorites. They're available in clear glass if you want to keep it neutral, or colors ranging from twilight blue to lush berry pink.

Like vermouth, dessert wines (which are also often fortified) are best served in small doses. These Country House Wine Glasses are the perfect size, enough to hold a few ounces for sipping without overpowering the rest of the meal. Plus their rustic shape ends things on a nice, relaxed note, with organically produced bubbles in the glass from the handblowing process. Who needs a snifter when these are so gorgeous to look at?

When it comes to bubbles, and champagne especially, flute or coupe is the eternal debate. I, however, have no doubt in my mind, as the coupe is by far the more versatile and dare I say chicer glass. Equally well-suited for the right cocktail (like a bone-dry martini), the gold rim on these coupe glasses is as festive as you want for breaking out the bubbly. To top it off, they're made by Viski, who's nothing short of the gold standard when it comes to crystalware. You could drink André out of these glasses and still feel like bona-fide royalty.
