40 | October 2015 E ven if you're a newbie to the world of wine, you are probably familiar with the fact that different glasses go with different wines. A glass for your merlot will generally be taller and have a larger bottom, while the vessel for your Pinot Grigio will be more petite. Wine lovers are not only drinking out of the standard crys- tal anymore. Plastic wine glasses are a mainstay in the homes of even the most discerning grape nuts. And these are not just dollar store finds. Companies like govino demand $20 or more for sets of their unbreakable ware. If you enjoy a cool rosé on the beach, you can even find wine glasses in insulated tum- blers. But, it's autumn and maybe a coastal Chardonnay isn't on your mind anymore. In that case, you can also find a durable plastic glass to take fireside on your next camping adventure. Still, you may just enjoy some Netflix and chill time indoors with your most robust Cabernet Sauvignon. And if that's the case… It's time to give you a prescription of what types of wine glasses will suit your needs.
