It’s easy to dismiss a wine glass as just another piece of tableware, but the shape of a drinking vessel plays an important role in how a wine tastes. The difference between a still wine glass and a flute is readily apparent; the flute with its iconic tall and narrow design is often reserved for wine and celebratory events, while the full round bowl of the traditional wine glass is the industry standard for still red and white wines.
Of course, both categories come in varying shapes and sizes — some flutes are tulip-shaped, while some still wine glasses forego the wide bowl for a taller and tapered form.
As it turns out, wine experts have very strong opinions about these two types of stemware that may make streamlining your glass cabinet a bit easier. Keep reading to learn more about how flutes and wine glasses really compare. The volume of a wine glass differs considerably depending on the brand and style. Flutes typically hold around 6 to 8 ounces, while white wine glasses hold on average 8 to 12 ounces and 8 to 22 ounces for red wine.
