Wine & Glasses For This Mother's Day

Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8th, 2022

Mother’s Day is the day moms wait for all year long, aside from their birthdays, of course, and we want to help you make mom’s day as special as mom is. From deciding which wine, serving it at the proper temperature, and determining the perfect glass to enjoy your wine from, this post will help you celebrate your mom or the mother figure in your life.

Picking your wine - We’ve made it to May! It’s time for warm temperatures and sunshine, and for most of us, that means refreshing wine season! A perfectly lightly chilled bottle will keep you refreshed during your Mother's Day celebration brunch. We recommend a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked Chardonnay, or a delectable Blanc de Noir to pair with your lighter, midday fare. Maybe you’re nontraditional, and your family opts for a Mother’s Day dinner, so depending on your menu, reach for a Grenache, Pinot Noir, or a beautiful Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre blend. These light to medium-bodied wines will complement a decadent, savory meal.

Serving your wine - Now that you’ve selected your wines, it’s time to get them to the optimal serving temperature. While most people chill their white wines down to an ice-cold temperature, don’t be afraid to enjoy your wines slightly closer to room temperature. This is a common practice for Europeans and Old World wine enthusiasts. If you’re planning to enjoy red wines, we suggest chilling your red wine down a little to give it a refreshing quality and add layers to the palate and experience. Like serving white wine at a warmer temperature, serving red wines at cellar temperature (55ºF) versus room temperature (70ºF) is common in some wine regions. These are recommendations and not hard and fast rules, and if you’ve never tried them out, why not make it a fun experience with the family?

Enjoying your wine - Your wine has been picked and is at optimal serving temperature—it’s time to talk glassware! There’s something to be said for a glass that can handle any wine. It takes the thinking out of setting the table and ensuring enough room for multiple glasses for each different type of wine you’ll enjoy with your meal. White wine, red wine, sparkling wine, fortified wine, you name it—our Gabriel-Glas One-For-All Universal glasses will accentuate precisely what mom loves in her favorite wines. Our Gabriel-Glas collection features a thin rim, so unlike other glasses in the price range, those glasses often have a thicker edge that can disrupt the flow of wine from glass to the palate. Thus, a less flattering wine-drinking experience. You no longer need to compromise quality for an affordable, unflattering glass. Our Gabriel-Glas StandArt and DrinkArt collections are durable, dishwasher safe, and budget-friendly.

Dinning out - Planning on enjoying a meal away from home with mom? Don’t leave home without your Gabriel-Glas! Our newest product, the Wine Glass Travel Case, is not designed only for Gabriel-Glas—it can fit most leading Universal stemware brands and most stemmed glasses. With our Wine Glass Travel Case, you can guarantee ultimate wine enjoyment with your preferred glasses.
