These days it depends entirely on formality of the occasion. You can use anything from Reidel to Dixie cups. I have recently been to a wine dinner (7 courses with wines to match) and each glass style was chosen to compliment the dish not the wine. The only wine that needs a specific shaped glass is champagne or other sparkling varietals - you should use the slender cylindrical shape rather than an open rounded vessel for best effervescence. There is a good example of traditional vessel at Wikipedia (see link below) but it really is up to you. The mood and the food should dictate the service ware not the beverage. Good Luck!

Goblets for red, Slender for white and Tulips for Champagne. It's important that the red wine and Champagne glasses are chosen carefully. After pouring the red wine it has to be exposed to air which is known as breathing which can be done effectively when you have more surface area of the drink so the goblets and no need to worry about loss of temperature as it can be served at room temp. While Champagne has to be served chilled so the surface area is to be kept minimum plus the effervescence has to be taken care of while sipping the drink. For the whites you can drink in slender tall wine glasses or the tulips depends what you have and what you like.

Wine glasses. Red wines glasses are usually a little wider than white. You can also use the small juice glasses and serve the wine bistro style :)

They're called balloon glasses. They are much bigger than the normal wine glass. They look like a big,wide bowl on a stem.

I love a crystal wine glass. Tumblers are the new trend though, check out Crate & Barrell . COM

wine glasses. The red wine glasses are wider so that the wine can breathe.

But remember: A clean jam jar will do as well as anything if you can't afford the glassware.
