Stainless steel wine glasses: Challenging tradition and the fine art of oenophilia

Oenophiles, wine lovers and connoisseurs of this magical drink will tell you how big a mistake you will make if you decide to buy stainless steel wine glasses. This review aims to be unbiased and hence let's look at why many hardcore wine lovers and followers of the imperfect and controversial science of wine tasting will tell you to avoid adding these fashionable glasses to your collection.

• Traditional wine glasses are supposed to be made from high quality lead crystal, or in plain English, glass. Inferior quality wine glasses may be made from inferior glass material.
• Bordeaux and Burgundy wine glasses are designed and shaped in an intricate manner. Their bowls are delicately shaped in order to maximize and enhance the flavor and taste of different types of wine. Full bodied and heavy wines like the Cabernet Sauvignon in case of Bordeaux and Pinot Noir in case of Burgundy.
• Besides flavor, aroma, taste and the other elements of wine tasting, there is also the visual factor. One of the most important elements of wine tasting is the delightful sight of watching the wine swirl in the transparent glass bowl. This cannot be replaced by an opaque and bland stainless steel glass bowl.
