White Glass
What’s the difference between red wine and white wine glass?
can you tell me?…and can you show pics of them?…when i look at the pictures, they’re the same….
There is a difference to a true Wine Connoisseur. I needed to review the answers to your question and I found some good information below.
Red wine glasses
Glasses for red wine are characterized by their rounder, wider bowl, which gives the wine space to breathe. Red wine glasses can have particular styles of their own, such as a bordeaux glass or a burgandy glass.
Bordeaux glass: tall with a broad bowl, and is designed for full bodied red wines like Cabernet and Merlot as it directs wine to the back of the mouth.
Burgundy glass: broader than the Bordeaux glass, it has a bigger bowl to accumulate aromas of more delicate red wines such as Pinot Noir. This style of glass directs wine to the tip of the tongue.
White wine glasses
White wine glasses are generally narrower, although not as narrow as champagne flutes, with somewhat straight or tulip-shaped sides. The narrowness of the white wine glass allows the chilled wine to retain its temperature for two reasons:
The reduced surface area of the glass (in comparison to red wine glasses) means less air circulating around the glass and warming the wine.
The smaller bowl of the glass means less contact between the hand and the glass, and so body heat does not transfer as easily to the wine.
A particular case is the hock glass, traditional in Germany for serving the Riesling wines of that country. (From the German city of Hocheim, hock is the British term for German white still wines, much as the British term for red Bordeaux is ‘claret’, and ‘sack’ for dry sherry.) The hock glass has a small coloured bowl, with a clear, frequently-twisted stem and base. Hock glasses often come in sets with the bowls of different colours.

I found the following comment interesting so pasted it below—–http://www.invinoveritas.com/bestof/2001/glasses.shtml
When your friends ask for a “red wine” glass, it means they’re used to drinking white wine in a fluted cone-shaped glass and red wine in a squat, rounded, bulbous glass, and that’s not what you’re using for red wine in the moment.
There is no hard and fast rule on this red versus white glass question, but it is true that wines can smell and taste very different in different vessels. To experience the most extreme example, try tasting the same wine in a styrofoam cup, a coffee mug, and any wine glass.
Once you start differentiating the whole spectrum of wine glasses, I believe size matters more than shape with the really big glasses, and shape matters more with the small tasting glass. When in doubt, go big, because the bigger the glass, the more of the wine it shows off in every way: vision, aroma, flavor, anything that’s there in the wine to be perceived.
To upgrade a wine glass collection, I’d go to bigger glasses overall as a first step, which will help any wine you put in them taste better.”
