You can't fully enjoy your bottle of red wine without the proper glass to complement it. Red wine glasses are shorter than white wine glasses, wider and not as tall. They kind of look like a bowl, where as white wine glasses are tall and slim. The reason why you should choose the appropriate glass for your wine is that if you pour red wine into a white wine glass only a small part of the wine will come in contact with the air.
And the key to enjoying the flavor of red wine is to allow it to oxidize. This is also the reason why you would swirl the wine before taking a sip. Red wines are served at room temperature and shouldn't be refrigerated. If you serve a cold red wine it will have a bitter taste, if you serve it hot (more than 65 degrees) the aroma of the alcohol in it will be overwhelming. The white wine is better when it is cooled before it is served. This is why you will get an ice bucket for your champagne at a restaurant.
make sure you enjoy your red wine cool, not at room temperature. By doing the simple things you should have a wonderful experience.
