A Tulip Shaped glass is the best choice for a dry white wine.
It guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides, where acidity is less pleasant.
A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold.
Remember to hold the glass by the stem!
White wines from Douro are typically a blend of native Arinto, Gouveio, Malvasia, Rabigato, and Viosinho.
The Douro region is the oldest wine region in the world (1756) and is classified as a World Heritage by UNESCO.
Famous for Port Wine, Douro also produces quality red wines (Douro Tinto), with a taste range from light Burgund to rich Bordeaux.
Port wine is produced through a unique vinification method, and there are several varieties of Port wine: Tawny, White, Ruby, and Late Bottled Vintage.
Port wine is exported from the city of Porto (thus the name).
