There are quite a number of distinct glasses that fall under the umbrella of ‘red wine glass’, however, for the sake of simplicity, the database is counting them all under the one category. These different varieties all share the same general attributes though: a long stem with a large, open bowl whose mouth tends to be wider than a white wine’s. Cocktails that contain red wine, or those whose aroma is an important element, often use red wine glassware in their recipes.
