Wine Glasses NZ – Elevate Every Pour
Wine Glasses in New Zealand: The right wine glass does more than hold your drink — it enhances aroma, improves flavour balance, and refines presentation. At The Living Styles, we offer a carefully curated collection of wine glasses designed to suit modern Kiwi homes, from relaxed weeknight dinners to special celebrations.
Our range includes red wine glasses, white wine glasses, sparkling flutes, and versatile stemware options. Each design is selected for clarity, balance, and durability, helping you enjoy every varietal the way it was intended.
Why the Right Wine Glass Matters
Glass shape and structure directly influence how wine performs in the glass. The bowl size, rim diameter, and stem length all play a role in aroma concentration and tasting experience.
- Enhanced Aromatics: Wider bowls allow red wines to breathe, releasing complex aromas.
- Balanced Tasting: The rim design directs wine to the correct area of the palate.
- Temperature Control: Stems help maintain ideal serving temperature by preventing heat transfer from hands.
- Visual Appeal: Crystal-clear glass showcases colour and clarity beautifully.
Choosing appropriate glassware ensures you experience the full character of your wine, whether it’s a bold red, crisp white, or celebratory sparkling wine.

Yes. The bowl size and rim diameter influence how aromas are concentrated and how wine flows across the palate, significantly affecting flavour perception.
Can one wine glass be used for all types of wine?
While universal glasses are suitable for general use, specific shapes designed for red, white, or sparkling wines provide a more refined tasting experience.
Are crystal wine glasses better than regular glass?
Crystal is typically thinner and clearer, enhancing visual appeal and rim precision. However, high-quality modern glass can also offer excellent durability and clarity for everyday use.
