Monogrammed Wine Glasses for Your Favorite Reds

Customized barware is an excellent way to give some of your home accessories a personal touch. It also makes a wonderful gift if you have friends and family who love to entertain. At Williams Sonoma, we carry an extensive collection of gifts with personalized monogramming, including monogrammed wine glasses designed to showcase the beauty and flavor of red wine. These exquisite glasses can be personalized for that extra special touch. They are crafted of sparkling and durable crystal that will look just as stunning on the table when entertaining as they will be on display after you put them away.

Wine Glasses by Variety

Wine can be enjoyed from any glass, but wine connoisseurs know that different red and white wine glasses are designed to bring forth the best qualities of different wine varieties. Here are some of the most common types of red wine glasses you will want to stock your entertaining cupboard with:

• Burgundy: Glasses made for Burgundy and other medium- to full-bodied reds have a wide bowl that gives the wine plenty of breathing space, allowing it to fully develop. The slightly flared rim directs the wine to the front of the palate for the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness.
• Cabernet: These wine glasses also come with generous bowls for concentrating the flavor and aroma of Cabernet and other full-bodied reds, providing an exquisite tasting experience right at home.
• Bordeaux: Bordeaux wine glasses are all about enhancing the bouquet of fruity flavors in these varieties. The glasses come with a tapered rim that directs the wine right to the tip of the tongue for the best balance of taste.
• Pinot Noir: For Pinot Noir and other light- to medium-bodied reds, choose Pinot Noir wine glasses. The wide base and sloped sides are designed to capture the complex characteristics of these sweeter reds.

Stemless Monogrammed Wine Glasses

While most type of wine glasses come with stems, you can also find glasses for red wines and glasses for white wines without stems! Instead, they have a flat bottom that sits smoothly against the surface you set them on. However, they do come with the same bowl shapes and sizes as regular, stemmed wine glasses to help direct the flavors and aromas of the wine you are drinking in the most pleasing way.

Stemless wine glasses are typically not used for formal entertaining, but they are an excellent choice for casual entertaining and everyday use. Because they don't sit on stems, they are easier to set down without spilling and harder to accidentally knock over.

Williams Sonoma carries many stemless wine glass sets that you can use to round out your own barware collection or to give as a housewarming gift.
