The last wine being poured from the bottle into three white wine glasses.
Chardonnay is a green grape variety used to make a white wine. This particular wine is made in almost every wine-growing region of the world. The wine can be high variable in color, but is generally quite neutral in taste. It is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of Chablis, France, to New World wines with oak, and tropical fruit flavors. In cool climates (such as Chablis and the Carneros AVA of California), Chardonnay tends to be medium to light body with noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple and pear. Champagne is made from this grape.
A white wine glass, such as that shown here has a longer stem, and a relatively thin stem compared to the bell of the glass. These characteristics are designed to avoid transmission of heat from a person’s hand – keeping the wine cold or cool as long as possible.
This wine set consists of the two bottles (one open and one closed), the pouring wine, and three glasses. One of the glasses is empty, one has some wine in it that is not still – that is, it is still moving slightly as a result of being poured recently. The third glass, of course is receiving some of the last wine in the bottle.
