Burgundy type red wines benefit from using the right glassware to present and serve them. You can make a significant difference to your enjoyment of these wines and impress your guests with your knowledge of wine decanters and wine glasses.Burgundy red wine originates from the Bougogne region of eastern France, usually made from the Pinot Noir grape. Extensive coverage of this topic can be found in Wikipedia. Red wines with similar characteristics are now produced in many regions of the world and all can benefit from the wine decanters and wine glasses described in this article. Major wines that fall into this category are Barolo, Barbaresco, Burgundy, Grand Cru, Beaujolais, Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir.The first step in releasing the potential of your Burgundy red wine is to decant the wine into an appropriate decanter two or so hours in advance of serving. Enhance your wine with a wide based wine decanter, preferably made from lead free crystal to ensure that no impurities will leach into your wine. A large base optimizes oxidation to release all the notes and aromas of your wine. You can find them online by searching on “lead free wide base wine decanter” or similar. The correct wine decanter signals that you know about your wine and it has the added advantage of being visually satisfying.Choice of wine glass for your Burgundy type red wine is if anything more important still. Contemporary designs are shaped to enhance the nose of the wine and finely made glass is designed to minimize the barrier between you and the wine. Here again it is preferable to buy lead free wine glasses.The ideal shape of your Burgundy red wine glass is a deep rounded bowl that tapers upwards to a sheer, narrower rim to allow dense fruit-driven red wines to concentrate their bouquet. A picture paints a thousand words and you can see an example at Wine Decanters Plus.
