Why are thin wine glasses better?

Thin Crystal Wine Glasses

This delicate glass is so thin that the lip of the rim is virtually nonexistent, which makes the transition between glass and mouth that much smoother. It is also said that the rougher surface of crystal wine glasses contributes to bringing about an enhanced flavor of wine.

What are short stemmed wine glasses for?

Red Wine Glass Design

Shorter stems: Red wines best present their flavors and aromas at room temperature. Since these wines are most enjoyable when they are not chilled, holding the glass by its bowl will not cause the temperature of your hand to warm up the wine it contains.
