Here is to skipping right to the good part with a collection of glassware curated by the editors of Wine Enthusiast.
 
 
 
 
 
Some of our fondest memories of epic holiday meals culminate gathered around a table piled with sweet treats—and all the wines to match. Whether raising a Riesling, toasting with a Tokaji or pouring a Port, we've taken the guesswork out of the glassware.
 
 
 
 
Shop this collection of glassware curated by the Wine Enthusiast editors to make cheersing that much sweeter.
 
 
 
Wine Enthusiast Aria Universal Handblown Wine Glass
 
 
 
You're definitely going to have wine open. Probably a crisp and saline white (how about this Pecorino that Danielle Callegari scored 92 points) that will cut a custardy crème or complement a hard cheese you have out on your spread. They work well for Prosecco, too and are probably what you want to serve that Riesling (from Kabinett to Eiswein) in. And go ahead, give yourself a fuller pour of Tokaji, nobody's looking.
 
 
 
 
Wine Enthusiast Aria Domaine Burgundy Handblown Wine Glass
 
 
 
While flutes and coupes are festive, you'll want to pour your Champagne in a proper Burgundy glass to get the full aromatics and flavor. And yes, Champagne is a dessert wine. It's an everything wine. Put some on ice for your afters.
 
 
 
 
Savoy Champagne Coupe Glasses (Set of 2)
 
 
 
Variety, as they say, is the spice of life, and while these coupes bring a flamboyant flair they also enhance your experience with bubbles. Another way to use them is to serve your lighter aperitif cocktails in them.
 
 
 
 
Bar Culture Balloon Cognac Glasses (Set of 2)
 
 
 
It's wintertime and the hounds are lounging by the fire aren't they? Maybe only metaphorically, but regardless of the atmosphere these elegant and generously-sized balloons are an impressive way to serve and savor your brandy.
 
 
 
 
Zalto Sweet Wine Glass
 
 
 
Zalto makes beautiful handblown glasses for every use—no doubt about it. But the attention Kurt Zalto paid to refining a glass focused on the attributes and elements of sweet wine makes these our goto for sipping Sauternes, Tokaj, lighter Sherry, Muscat and the like.
 
 
 
 
Riedel Vinum Port Glasses (Set of 2)
 
 
 
Made with Port in mind, but a workhorse of a glass that can serve to savor Maeideria, Sherry, and does double duty for your late-harvest, ice wines and other more demure pours.
