?Q. Which type of wineglass is used for what wines?

A. Sherry, which is served at room temerature, is poured into small, V-shaped glasses.

White wine, which is served well chilled, is poured into round-bowled, stemmed glasses.

Red wine, which is served at room temperature, is poured into less rounded, more tulip-shaped glasses that are narrower at the rim than are white wine glasses.

Champagne, which is served very well chilled, is poured into either flat, wide-rimmed glasses or into champagne flutes (stemmed glasses that are long and narrow).?
