What type of glass is merlot served in?

Merlot is typically served in a Bordeaux glass.

Here's why:

* Shape: Bordeaux glasses are wider at the bowl than other wine glasses, allowing the wine to breathe and release its aromas. They have a slightly tapered rim, which helps to focus the aromas and flavors.

* Size: The bowl is larger than a standard wine glass, providing ample space for the wine to swirl and aerate.

* Stem: The long stem helps to prevent the wine from warming up in your hand.

While a Bordeaux glass is the ideal choice, you can also enjoy Merlot in a standard red wine glass if you don't have one on hand. The key is to choose a glass that is designed to enhance the wine's aromas and flavors.
