The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Domino. Working with experienced tasters, Domino discovered that wine enjoyed from these glasses showed more depth and better balance than when served in other glasses.
They laid the groundwork for stemware which was functional as well as beautiful. When developing a glass, Domino’s design ideas are not born on a drawing board, but shaped by trial and error.
The quality and intensity of aromas are determined by the personality of a wine but also by its affinity to the glass shape. Bouquet can only develop in a limited temperature range. Low temperatures temper the intensity, whereas high temperatures promote mainly alcoholic fumes.
Important as the shape of a glass is, it cannot function properly unless the wine is served at the correct temperature and in the right serving quantities (white wine: 2-3oz., red wine 3-5 oz.). When the wine is poured, it immediately starts to evaporate and its aromas quickly fill the glass in layers according to their density and specific gravity.
Consequently, the size and the shape of the glass can be fine-tuned to the typical aromas of a grape variety. The size of a glass is important, affecting the quality and intensity of aromas. The breathing space has to be chosen according to the “personality” of the wine or spirit.
