The standard equipment for wine tasting is a corkscrew and clean, odorless glasses. To prevent unpleasant smells on the glassware, avoid washing glasses and carafes with detergent. Each species of vine has a characteristic bouquet and fragrance, which can be highlighted in different ways depending on the shape of the glass in which the wine is poured. You can test this principle at home by pouring the same wine into glasses of different shapes and then sampling their taste and aroma.
