The Ideal Glass for Weissburgunder

A Tulip Shaped Glass with a slightly smaller bowl can be suitable for various dry white wines.

The glass guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides where acidity is less pleasant.

A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold. It also helps if you hold the glass by the stem!
