white wine glass

Chilled beverage vessel

A white wine glass is a stemmed drinking vessel designed for serving white wines, typically smaller than a red wine glass with a narrower bowl.

The shape concentrates delicate aromatics while the smaller volume keeps wine chilled longer: She reached for a white wine glass from the rack.

The stem prevents hand warmth from affecting the wine's temperature.
