Elegant Pinot Noir Glasses for Wine Lovers

Bringing out the best flavors and aromas that your wine can offer requires the proper glassware. Pinot Noir glasses from Williams Sonoma are designed to highlight the flavor complexities of a sophisticated Pinot Noir. Sometimes known as a Burgundy wine glass, these glasses can also showcase other light- to medium-bodied wine varieties like red Burgundy and Dolcetto. Full-bodied reds like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon are best served in Bordeaux glasses and white wines have their own set of suitable glassware. Fill your wine cabinet with Pinot wine glasses and other glassware to taste the difference a proper wine glass makes.

Glass and Crystal Pinot Glasses

A standard Pinot Noir wine glass consists of a long stem supporting a bowl with a wide base that tapers to a relatively narrow mouth. The wide bowl captures the complex aromas of Pinot Noir and the tapered mouth guides the wine to the front of the palate with every sip, allowing you to experience the full effect of every flavor. Well-designed Pinot Noir glasses from great brands like Riedel, Williams Sonoma and Schott Zwiesel are also incredibly elegant.

  • Wine glasses crafted of lead-free glass are sophisticated, durable and dishwasher-safe. These stemmed glasses are pretty enough to be used at a wine tasting party or special event.
  • Crystal wine glasses have a sparkling clarity that makes them the perfect finishing touch for any elegant tablescape. A set of these glasses also makes a thoughtful gift for the wine lovers in your life.

Stemless Pinot Glasses

For informal get-togethers with friends, store your fancy wine glasses and use stemless Pinot glasses instead. While these wine glasses still include all of the flavor-enhancing characteristics of a standard Pinot Noir glass, stemless wine glasses have a more relaxed vibe that is quite appealing for casual entertaining.

  • Without the fragile stem, these glasses are easier to transport to a friend's home or a vacation cottage and are better for outdoor entertaining.
  • Stemless Pinot wine glasses are also less likely to be knocked over at a busy party due to their low profile and sturdy base.
  • While they are instantly recognizable as a wine glass, these glasses are also versatile enough to be used as a water glass or to serve other non-alcoholic drinks.

A varied collection including stemmed and stemless wine glasses is best as there are a few downsides to the stemless varieties. For example, since you hold the glass by the bowl rather than by a stem, your hands will be in closer contact to the wine and will warm the liquid slightly, potentially changing the flavor complexities. It is also more difficult to swirl a wine glass without a stem. This is why these glasses are best used for informal events rather than a high-class wine tasting.

Enjoy a relaxing and refreshing glass of Pinot Noir the right way with Pinot Noir glasses from Williams Sonoma. Create an elegant set of crystal stemmed glasses for special occasions and a stemless set for casual wine nights. With their wide bowls and narrow tops, these glasses allow the delicate aromas of Pinot Noir to be fully realized for a superior taste experience.
