In: Other
They’re designed in a way to capture the aromatics of the wine and allow the full bouquet to be wafted into your nose to allow the different notes to be captured by your sense of smell; the shape also allows you to swish the wine around in the glass and see the viscosity, or body of the wine, and see how it clings to the glass (or not).
TL;DR: because wine snobs 🙂
