The Best - What Glass to Use - Sour Grapes

In this episode, Forrest Kelly and our resident wine curmudgeon, Sour Grapes, tackle the age-old question: What wine glass should you use? Sour Grapes breaks it down with his signature blend of grumpy wisdom and humor, making it simpler than you might think.

Discover why different wines benefit from different glass shapes. Reds need big bowls to breathe, whites prefer smaller ones to stay cool, and sparkling wines thrive in tall, skinny glasses. And what about rosé? Sour Grapes calls it the wild child, suitable for either a white wine glass or a universal glass—just keep it clean!

While having a specific glass for each type of wine is ideal, Sour Grapes reassures that in a pinch, even a mason jar can work. Wine is about enjoyment, not snobbery, after all. Plus, get a final tip on how to hold your glass by the stem to keep your wine cool and look like a pro.

Join us for another episode filled with practical advice and laughs as Sour Grapes pours his wisdom, one vintage at a time.
