Like anything, people obsess over the details. Too often this keeps the "nouveau buveur" or new drinker a bit nervous. I say, let's get you hooked on good wine, then we'll talk stemware.
And good stemware does make a difference. If you think of wine more as an aroma you drink, than something to wet your whistle, then you can improve that experience with a wine glass designed for the wine you are enjoying. Mostly the different shapes have to do with presenting the particular aroma of that varietal (grape) to your nose.
All this is rather scientific, but again, relax...until you're making a living writing wine notes you can get by with three standard wine glasses: Red, White, and a Sparking flute.
