I watch a lot of Real Housewives (feel free to judge, its a guilty pleasure) and they are incredibly judgmental and particular if they are served wines, etc in improper drinkware. Does it actually make a difference in anything or are they just being sticklers to be sticklers?
EX) White wine in a red wine glass or champagne flute vs a white wine glass

The traditional glassware for drinks does have some logic behind it:
* Wide glasses for drinks where aroma is important
* Narrow glasses when the drink is carbonated to create less surface area for CO2 to escape
* Stemmed glasses when the drink is served cold and without ice, so your hand doesn’t warm it up
You’re probably not going to completely ruin a drink by putting it in the wrong glass, but it’s an easy mistake to avoid. It’s hard to claim you’re a fancy wine bar if you’re serving merlot in champagne flutes.
