I have read a little about this subject. Supposedly, the diameter of the opening will determine how you taste it. For example, a smaller opening requires your head to be tilted farther back in order to drink from it, and thus your taste buds farther back in your mouth are more exposed to the drink.

And of course I've heard that the smaller/more-slender the glass, the whiter the wine that's supposed to be in it. I just figured that red wine tastes better, thus you put it in a bigger glass so you can drink more!!! That's what I go by!

I'm trying to remember anything else I read about it, but I guess that's all my brain retained! I'm sure there's something about it in Wine for Dummies - that book seems to have everything!!! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
