What are the differences between a Bordeaux and a Burgundy glass?


A Bordeaux glass is tall with a straight, slightly tapered bowl designed to direct wine toward the back of the palate, softening tannins in full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. A Burgundy glass has a wider, more rounded bowl that maximises surface area for aeration, concentrating aromas and directing wine to the tip of the tongue ideal for delicate Pinot Noir. Both shapes make a visible difference to how wine is experienced. For serious wine service, owning both is worth it.
