It’s all very well having a lovely wine glass collection in your house and even some special crystal ones for special occasions maybe, but what about when you want to enjoy a glass or two in the wonderful outdoors? Maybe you are wanting to have a picknic’s in the park on enjoy a fine chardonnay on a boat trip your going on. You still want to get all the flavors from the wine and not tarnish it, but you want something that pretty durable and is not that expensive our range of acrylic glasses are perfect for this. They are made from a high qaulity plastic that won’t deteriorate or change the qualities of the wine like many plastic wine glasses do.
So now you get outside in this wonderful summer sunshine and enjoy your wines the way they should be enjoyed. What are you waiting for?

Since the dawn of time, well 6000BC, people have been drinking wine, and without some form of container, drinking it could be very difficult. Now there are many varieties of wine, each offering their own tastes, textures and aromas. There are also all kinds of wineware to accommodate these various varieties and help accentuate the flavours that they produce.
Florida started producing some new flavoured white and red wines by using berries, citrus fruits and limes. These wines have very distinct flavours and have become very popular all over the world.
For white wines we would recommend you try a Riedel Vinum Two Chablis/Chardonnay set, this is because they have long thin necks and a wide bowl with a narrow rim. This is the best way to drink white wine, through a glass that is not so wide to include your nose, but to help the flow of wine into your mouth. One great Florida white wine is the Florida Ice Wine, it has a rich overtone of sweet white raisins, plums and oranges
When drinking red wines it would be a better idea to try and drink out of a Riedel Vinum Two Glass Burgundy Pinot Noir Set, this is to allow for maximum swirling of the wine, the glass has a wide bowl so that the wine has maximum air contact, this allows for the flavours to be released aromatically. Cabernet Sauvignon is a very well known wine, and this particular one from Florida, has a whole array of flavours such as; blackberry, cherry, chocolate and almonds.
So if you’re thinking about going on Florida holidays, don’t forget about the wines that they produce, and try to remember which wine glasses are best for each wine.
