Why do different types of alcoholic drinks have different glasses? Do they change the taste of the drink?

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

I once went to a friends parents cabin for a weekend. His mom was a wine dealer. After some discussion about this topic she retrieved a red wine (BV coastal, 2001) and poured some into a juice glass, an inexpensive wine glass, and a riedel veloce. I watched her pour it. It was a completely different wine in each glass with the riedel being the fullest and most complex of them all. Even the nose was unique to each. It was black magic.
