Wine Glasses,I’m having trouble understanding why some people need a glass for white wines and a different type of glass for red wines. Can someone try to explain to me why a different type of glass is needed for every type of wine?
Why do some people use different types of wine glasses for different types of wine?

So uppity rich people can have something to talk about. They think that the type of glass makes the wine and "experience" of drinking the wine better, when in fact it is truly just annoying.

If a wine is great, it’ll be great in any type of glass it is served in no matter what.
It is all theater of the mind my friends; just people trying to put on aires.
Plastic people that have nothing better to spend their money on like feeding hungry people.

The shape of a wine glass can affect the taste of the wine, therefore different types of wine are served in certain types of glasses.

There are many types of wine glasses, but in general, only four are needed. Red wine glasses are taller and wider so the complexities of the wine can be better appreciated. You’ll want at least two for your collection. The first is a Bordeaux glass, which is designed for rich, full bodied red wines such as Cabernets and Merlots. The wide bowl allows the wine to breathe and brings out the rich aromas. Because the glass is tall, the wine proceeds directly to the back of the mouth allowing for maximum flavor. It’s also a good idea to have a burgundy glass to use for other full bodied wines such as a Pinot Noir. Larger than the Bordeaux glass, the large bowl of the Burgundy glass allows the wine to dispense to the tip of the tongue where it’s easier to taste the sweetness of the wine.
