What type of glass is recommended for serving white and pink wines?

The recommended type of glass for serving white and pink wines is one with a small mouth and a long body. This design is advantageous because the narrower opening helps to concentrate the aromas, allowing the drinker to enjoy the delicate scents that are characteristic of these wines. Additionally, the longer body of the glass allows for better temperature control, as it reduces the surface area exposed to warmer air, helping to keep the wine chilled for longer periods.

In contrast, a wide mouth and short body glass would allow for more oxidation and temperature issues, which are not ideal for white and pink wines, as they often benefit from being served cool. A narrow body and tall glass might visually seem appropriate but can restrict the wine's aromas and flavors if too tall. Lastly, a standard pint glass is not suitable for wine service as it is primarily designed for beers and lacks the necessary shape to enhance the wine-drinking experience.
