Classic Wines

The type and size of glass that you use when tasting a wine can absolutely enhance the flavor and aroma of your wine. Today our host, Brian Freedman tastes a Burgundy - Jaboulet- Vercherre 2004 Gevrey - Chambertin. We test this wine in the Taste of Purple Vino2 glass and find out if it does indeed improve the flavor of our wine.

Older wines benefit from being decanted because when you bring oxygen to your wine it helps to bring out the flavor. Today we review an old Bordeaux wine, the Chateau Simard 1995 Saint Emilion . To help us decant the wine we use the unique looking Taste of Purple decanter with an easy to use pour spout - great for your holiday table. Learn more about decanting your wine in our latest video with Brian Freedman.

You don't always have to use a decanter to get more oxygen into your wines. Today, Brian reviews the Vino2 oversized crystal stemware made by Taste of Purple. The right glass really can make the difference in enjoying a wine, in this case the 2003 Luna Vineyards "Canto." So before making your next stemware purchase, take some time to review the difference in quality, materials, size and shape to find the perfect glass for that perfect bottle of wine.
