aurea
Aurea is Rogaška’s most extensive wine glass line, made for those who can appreciate the grape varietal’s characteristics. It also offers a great starting point for building your connoisseur wine glass collection. wine should ideally fill no more than one third of the available volume of the glass, so that it can be swirled without losing any liquid and that there is space for the precious aroma or bouquet to collect in the bowl. glasses for red wine are characterized by their rounder, bigger and wider bowl, which increases the rate of oxidation. as oxygen from the air chemically interacts with the wine, flavor and aroma are subtly altered and tasting experience is enhanced.
white wines, which are lighter and fresher, don’t need that much oxidation as it can mask the delicate nuances of the wine. therefore to preserve a crisp, clean flavor, many white wine glasses will have a smaller mouth. the champagne flute is designed to be tall and thin to highlight the fine bouquet and richness on the palate. it also keeps the bubbles in the flute longer - with less surface area exposed to the air, the bubbles can’t escape as quickly. all stem glasses are designed to be held by the stem to help prevent the heat from the hand from warming the liquid inside. stem also facilitates the swirling of the wine. some sommeliers even recommend swirling the wine in counter-clockwise direction only.
