Where it comes from
A wine glass is not one glass but a family - a bowl, a stem and a foot, with the bowl chosen for the wine and the service. What all of them share is the stem, which is a handle: it lets a drinker hold the glass without holding the drink, and without their own warmth arriving through the side of the bowl. Everything beyond that is taste. The shape of the bowl decides how much air the wine meets and where its aromas gather, and leaving space above the liquid is what lets them collect at all.
A glass is a wine glass if there is wine in it. The stem is a convenience rather than a definition, which is why the Cabin is happy to serve a sherry cobbler or a spritz in one.
What to look for
A tulip rather than a bowl: narrower at the rim than at its widest point, so what gathers in the glass stays there. Very large glasses are for tasting rather than for dinner.
