White Wine Glasses

White Wine Glasses & Glassware Sets

Enjoy a bottle of your favorite white—from pinot gris and chardonnay to bubbly varieties—in white wine glasses that bring out their distinct flavor profiles. For chardonnay, look for glasses with a large bowl to balance its complex flavor. Other varieties such as sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio and riesling are best served in white wine glasses with narrow bowls that slow oxidation while keeping them chilled. Celebrating a special occasion? Look for a set of glasses for champagne that also serves mimosas or bellinis during brunch parties. Stemless glasses bring a casual feel—and are often conveniently dishwasher-safe. Traditional stemware pieces provide a way to hold the glass without warming the bowl. Whether you're entertaining or enjoying a quiet date night, consider a wine chiller that keeps the bottle cool on the table without the need to return it to the refrigerator or wine cellar. This keeps the bottle in sight and allows guests to top off their own white wine glasses when they're ready for another serving. To make cleanup easy once the party is over, look for dishwasher-safe wine glasses and let the machine do the work.
