I think it goes without saying that the wine glass you choose is just as important as the wine itself. So why, given the multitude of wines out there that we're bound to try, do we continually pour them into the same, clear, cookie-cutter glasses? It boggles my mind, and its not just because I'm on glass number three. So the same way that you linger in the land of shiraz and sangiovese, take the time to select stemware with personality to match. Don't worry about compromising elegance for fun, look for unique textures, painted accents, and unexpected colors. (And be sure to check out the black glasses. They're as dramatic as they come, and are bound to steal the show at your next gathering.)
