Rosé or Orange? Understanding the Differences and Choosing the Perfect Glass
As the warmer days settle in, the craving for a refreshing glass of wine naturally returns. Rosé wines, true essentials for sunny terraces and summer evenings, make a strong comeback every spring. But how well do we really understand these delicately colored wines? And what about orange wines — often confused with rosés, yet entirely different in character?
The different types of rosé wines
Contrary to popular belief, rosé wines are not simply a blend of red and white wine (a practice that is actually prohibited in most wine-growing regions). Here are the main methods of producing rosé:
Direct pressing: This method is the most common and involves pressing grapes from black-skinned, white-juice grape varieties, then quickly separating the juice from the solids, giving it an abundance of fruit and freshness. Its color will be determined by the grape variety and the length of pressing. It is perfect for aperitifs and spring and summer celebrations.
Saignée: One of the oldest winemaking techniques, famously used in wines like Clairet from Downtown Abbey. Pale-skinned grape varieties like Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir are left to macerate with their skins just long enough to achieve balance in both color and roundness. These rosés are more gastronomic in style, pairing beautifully with seafood and spicy dishes.
Popular appellations:
Provence (France): Light, dry, and very pale — often made with Grenache, Cinsault, or Syrah.
Tavel (Rhône Valley, France): A deeper, food-friendly rosé, bordering on a light red. Made from up to nine permitted grapes, primarily Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Pairs well with spicy, colorful, or exotic dishes.
Rosato (Italy): Typically fruitier or more structured, depending on the region.
Rosé wine vs. orange wine: Don't Be Folled by the Color
While their colors may sometimes look similar, rosé and orange wines come from completely different winemaking processes:
Rosé wine is made from red grapes, but vinified like a white wine — with little skin contact.
Orange wine, on the other hand, is made from white grapes, vinified like a red — meaning prolonged skin contact during fermentation. The result? Tannic, structured wines with flavors of dried orange peel, nuts, or warm spices. Despite their copper or amber hue, their texture and grip are more like a red wine than a rosé.
In summary: 🔴 Rosé = red grapes, little maceration. 🟠 Orange = white grapes, long maceration.
The perfect glass for rosé wines
To truly enjoy a rosé at its best, it’s important to choose the right glass. A slightly flared white wine glass works beautifully, as it:
Maintains the wine’s refreshing temperature.
Helps release delicate aromas like strawberry, peach, and white flowers.
Accentuates the wine’s lightness, fruitiness, and crisp acidity.
🔍 Our recommendations :
Zalto glass (above) The Riedel Veloce Rosé or Italesse Vertical Wine Glass are excellent choices. Their finesse and shape allow for a beautiful expression of aromas while maintaining an ideal temperature.
And for orange wines, which glass should you choose?
Orange wines, often more tannic and complex than rosés, deserve a glass that reflects their unique structure. It's recommended to use a tulip-shaped or balloon-shaped red wine glass, slightly wider than one used for white or rosé wine. This allows for:
Better aeration, essential to release the sometimes oxidative or spicy aromas of orange wines.
To temper their slight astringency and highlight their aromatic richness.
To appreciate their more structured body, sometimes comparable to a light red wine.
🔍 Our recommendations:
A glass like Sydonios' Subtil (above) or a Riedel Veritas Syrah (Old World) or Riedel Vinum's Pinot Noir (New World) allows orange wines to express themselves fully, whether it's a Catalan Macabeu, a Georgian Skin-Contact or a Friuli Pinot Gris.
And what about pink champagnes?
Rosé champagnes deserve a special mention in the world of rosé wine. Produced in the Champagne region, they combine finesse, effervescence, and complexity. There are two main methods for producing rosé champagne:
Blending : The most common method, which involves adding a small amount of red Champagne wine (often Pinot Noir or Meunier) to a white base wine before the second fermentation in the bottle.
Maceration (or “bleeding”): Less widespread, this method involves a short maceration of black grapes to extract color and aromas, as for a still rosé wine.
Rosé champagnes often offer aromas of red fruits, brioche, and sometimes dried flowers. They are perfect as an aperitif, but can also accompany a full meal—particularly dishes made with salmon, duck, or even certain red fruit desserts.
🔍 Our recommendations :
Spiegelau's Definition of Champagne Glass (above) , Gabriel-Glas StandArt , Riedel Superleggero Champagne Glass are excellent choices to enhance a rosé champagne, whether as an aperitif or at the table.

Everything to know about drinking glasses and their history
Drinking glasses, whether for water, wine, a cocktail or any other beverage, are an essential part of our tables. However, not all glassware is the same and not all glasses have the same purpose. Apart from their visual aspects, drinking glasses play an essential role in tasting. Their shape, size or even the material used can have an impact on the development of aromas and the sensations on the palate.
Learn more about the different types of drinking glasses, their history and uses.
The history of the martini glass
The martini glass has become iconic, thanks in part to the martini cocktail history and its distinctive silhouette, and is now associated with sophistication and style... often attributed to the famous British secret service agent James Bond!
Created in the 19th century, this glass was first simply called a "cocktail glass". During the 1920s, at the time of Prohibition in the United States, it became exceedingly popular because of its style, but above all because it could be quickly and discreetly discarded during surprise searches in clandestine bars. The unique looking glass was later categorized as a "martini glass" to reflect its signature drink, the Martini cocktail.
The martini glass offers many advantages for this type of cocktail. Its small capacity makes it ideal for enjoying strong alcoholic cocktails. Another advantage is the good thermal insulation provided by the long stem. This encourages a grip that will not affect the temperature of the cocktail. Finally, its wide rim effectively diffuses the aromas and its large surface area causes tension in the glass which allows the bouquet of the spirits to be released efficiently.

The goblet and the flute for champagne tasting
Many legends have it that the champagne glass was modeled after the bosom of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France under Louis XIV or the Countess of Pompadour, aristocrat and mistress of King Louis XV. In fact, the champagne glass as we know it would have been created in England in 1663, a century before the French aristocrats.
The goblet is a unique type of drinking glass with a shape that allows carbon dioxide to escape more quickly, a desired effect in this era to reduce bubbles in the drink. Since then, customs have changed and so have the glasses!
The champagne flute first appeared in the 1930s. This much narrower type of drinking glass was, according to wine lovers, better suited to the tasting of the champagne of the time, which was drier than the previous era. The shape of the flute, having less surface area exposed to the air, limits the loss of bubbles and consequently the drink’s aromas.
Today, the shape of the flute continues to evolve towards a more rounded shape that is closer to traditional wine glasses, also known as tulip glasses.

The cognac glass: a history dating back to Ancient Rome
The cognac glass is a special type of drinking glass shaped like a balloon on a short stem. It has changed somewhat over time to better adapt to its signature beverage, cognac, and offer a better tasting experience. Its shape has evolved to provide a better grip, allowing the beverage to be slightly warmed for optimal release of alcohol and aromas. It has been used since Roman times in its simplest form and is therefore an improved version of the commonly used cup of the time.
The round shape of the glass ensures a deep inhalation of the liquor during tasting. This shape, whether the glass is small or large, awakens the senses, from touch to taste, sight and smell. This is why this type of drinking glass is still used today when tasting brandy, Armagnac and Cognac.
Some connoisseurs prefer tasting in a tulip glass, which is less round and above all more flared at the top for a sharper direction of the aromas on the palate during tasting. Moreover, its high stem prevents the cognac from warming up when you hold it in your hand, as it should be served at room temperature. Its round shape also allows for good aeration while intensifying the aromas at the top of the glass.

The Glencairn glass, specifically designed for whisky
The Glencairn glass, now a big favourite among whisky lovers, made its appearance long after the other types of drinking glasses. It was only created in 2001, by the Scottish-based company Glencairn Crystal Ltd. The aim was to market a glass created specifically for whisky tasting. According to Glencairn and its director Raymond Davidson, it was high time to make a glass worthy of this beverage available to the general public.
The shape of the glass is remarkably similar to the tulip glass, called a Nosing glass, which was then used in Scotland's whisky laboratories. With the help of master blenders from the 5 biggest distilleries in Scotland, the design of the Glencairn glass was finalized. Its open and easy drinking allows the aromas to travel easily to the nose during tasting. Its wide and solid base offers easy handling and its rounded shape allows good aeration and a clear view of the whisky's colour.
In 2006, this type of glass won the Queen's Award for Enterprise, which rewards companies for innovation, international development and commitment to sustainable development. The Glencairn glass can now be found in all the distilleries in Scotland and Ireland, as well as most of those in America. Whisky finally has its own glass!

Choosing the right drinking glass for your beverage
The different types of drinking glasses are not a marketing gimmick aimed at pushing consumers to acquire more and more glasses, but rather a genuine desire to offer the best possible tasting experience. If you want to get the most out of the aromas of your beverage, it is highly recommended to use the appropriate glass. Simply tasting the same wine in differently shaped glasses will be enough to convince you.

The lime juice brings a bright acidity that is softened by the sugar, while the rum adds a subtle depth to the cocktail. The Daiquiri is not only delicious, but also extremely versatile. You can easily experiment with different types of rum or add fresh fruit to create your own variations.
Espresso Martini: Energizing sophistication
The Espresso Martini, created in London in the 1980s, is a sophisticated, energizing cocktail that combines the richness of coffee with the smoothness of vodka. Its creator, British bartender Dick Bradsell, is said to have invented the cocktail when a famous supermodel asked him for a drink that would wake her up.
The cocktail is made with vodka, coffee liqueur and fresh espresso. The result is a velvety drink with a creamy froth on top, similar to a cappuccino, but with an extra kick. The coffee liqueur adds sweetness, which is balanced by the slight bitterness of the espresso, while the vodka provides a strong, smooth base.
