The shape of a wine glass is not just a matter of aesthetics; it wields a significant influence over the taste, aroma, and overall enjoyment of the wines it cradles. While the traditional wine glass is a versatile vessel for savoring a range of wines, it's worth delving into the world of specialized wine glasses, each meticulously designed to elevate the unique flavor profiles of the wines they are tailored for. Continue reading to explore this fascinating realm further.
Stemless Glasses:
These wine glasses are essentially traditional stemless wine glasses. They nestle comfortably in the palm of your hand and occupy very little space in your cupboards. Despite some arguments against them due to their potential to transfer heat from your hand, which could alter the wine's temperature, stemless wine glasses are gaining popularity in bars, restaurants, and households alike.
Flute Glasses:
Being a personal favorite, this particular flute is meticulously designed to showcase the effervescence of fine Champagne and Sparkling Wine. It's perfect for those elegant, social gatherings, where people mingle, clad in their finest gowns and blazers, while indulging in the delightful bubbles.
Bordeaux Glasses:
Bordeaux glasses, with their impressive height, stand as the pinnacle choice for indulging in the complexities of mature, full-bodied red wines. Their towering stature serves a purpose – it provides ample space for the wine's ethanol to gracefully dissipate, inviting a generous infusion of oxygen to work its magic in tempering the innate bitterness often associated with red wines.
Riesling Glasses:
Riesling Glasses, characterized by their petite size and rounded body that gently tapers toward the rim, serve a specific purpose. Their diminutive stature plays a crucial role in directing the wine to the center and rear of the palate, effectively preventing the wine's sweetness from overpowering the discerning palate of the drinker.
Balloon Wine Glass:
Balloon glasses rank among the most ubiquitous glassware found in both residential and commercial settings. Characterized by their rounded shape, generous bowl, and slender neck, these glasses are particularly well-suited for savoring wine, especially red varietals. The ample bowl provides ample space for the wine to aerate, enhancing its flavor and aroma. Whether you're hosting a casual get-together or a sophisticated formal affair, these versatile glasses are the perfect choice for any occasion.
Standard Wine Glass:
When in doubt, opt for a standard wine glass. This elegantly designed glass is versatile, perfectly suited to enhance the characteristics of your preferred red wine, whatever it may be.
The next time you pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine, consider the vessel you're using, and toast to the delightful marriage of design and flavor. Cheers!

Ospree Duty Free has brought the joy of Kerala’s most cherished festival to the airport with its ‘Osam Onam’ celebrations at Thiruvananthapuram airport. Running through the festive season, the campaign aims to give travellers a true taste of Onam while turning their shopping journey into something special.
The store has been decked up with vibrant Kerala-inspired décor, highlighted by a striking installation of the legendary King Mahabali. Passengers are welcomed by staff dressed in traditional attire, setting the mood for a warm and authentic festive experience. A special photo corner featuring Mahabali allows shoppers to capture the spirit of Onam and carry home memories beyond their purchases.
The ‘Osam Onam’ celebrations extend beyond décor and experiences. Shoppers can explore a wide selection of categories from fragrances and cosmetics to food, Indian gourmet, electronics, sunglasses, and watches. Along with seasonal shopping, the campaign is packed with rewards, including the chance to win exciting prizes like an iPhone 15 Pro Max, one-gram gold coins, and even a Jawa Bike, all linked to threshold-based shopping offers.
Sharing more about the initiative, an Ospree Duty Free spokesperson said, “At Ospree, we focus on curating thoughtful, value-led selections that not only enhance the traveller's journey but also bring added joy to regional celebrations. With the Osam Onam campaign, we wanted to go a step further by celebrating Kerala's most important festival in a way that feels both festive and rewarding for our shoppers. From traditional touches to exclusive prizes, the campaign is designed to create memorable experiences for everyone passing through our Thiruvananthapuram store”.
Ospree Duty Free, formerly known as Mumbai Duty Free, is the flagship brand of Mumbai Travel Retail Private Limited (MTRPL), India’s leading duty-free retail operator. With a presence in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mangaluru, and Thiruvananthapuram, Ospree Duty Free continues to be a trusted destination for travellers seeking luxury shopping and exclusive offers.

The celebration continued post-run at Vegas Mall, where participants and their families enjoyed shopping, dining, and entertainment, turning the day into a holistic experience beyond the race itself.
With such initiatives, Vegas Mall continues to stand out as a community-first destination, combining lifestyle, wellness, and social engagement at the heart of Dwarka.

The VITSKAMATS Group has marked another milestone in its growth journey with the launch of a new business hotel in Bengaluru, Karnataka. This addition reflects the group’s strategic vision of expanding into South India’s most dynamic and future-focused city, offering its signature mix of comfort, practicality, and warm hospitality.
Strategically located at Service Road, 5th Block, Ashwath Nagar, HBR Layout, the Bengaluru property offers 40 well-designed rooms and suites. Each space is thoughtfully created with natural light, spacious layouts, and a blend of elegance and functionality. Ideal for both short and extended stays, the hotel aims to serve business travellers as well as the growing number of domestic tourists drawn to Bengaluru’s culture, commerce, and innovation.
This new launch is part of the group’s larger nationwide expansion strategy. VITSKAMATS already operates hotels across key destinations such as Aurangabad, Lonavala, Panchgani, Dwarka, Goa, and Gurugram. With an upcoming property in Kolkata, the group is steadily strengthening its presence across India.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vikram Kamat, Chairman and Managing Director of the VITSKAMATS Group, said, “Bengaluru is a city that beautifully represents the India of today which is forward-looking yet deeply rooted in tradition. Entering South India with this new property holds a lot more significance than a business expansion for us. It is a chance to be part of a market that thrives on innovation, diversity, and opportunity. Our philosophy has always been to provide premium yet practical hospitality, with a focus on comfort, great food, and a personal touch. With this hotel, we are excited to bring that promise closer to our guests in Bengaluru.”
As the hospitality industry in South India continues to grow, the VITSKAMATS Group remains committed to thoughtful expansion, rooted in service, quality, and trust. With Bengaluru now open and Kolkata soon to follow, the group continues to strengthen its nationwide footprint with confidence and care.
