White wine glasses are generally smaller with tulip-shaped sides. The narrowness and smaller bowl of the white wine glass allows the chilled wine to retain its temperature by the reduced surface area of the glass. The smaller bowl of the glass also has a fluted down opening of less radios thus putting less of the usually more acidic white wine onto the pallet.
This style of glass directs wine more to the tip of the tongue and also concentrates the usually lighter bouquet of white wine for the nose. Perfect for Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and all of the other fantastic whites.
