Three basic rules for choosing a wine glass:
1, colorless and transparent; 2. The belly of the cup is best without decoration, so as to enjoy the primary color of the wine; 3, the material should not be too thick, so as not to affect the taste of the touch.
Wine glasses can be roughly divided into three types: red wine glasses, white wine glasses and champagne glasses. All kinds of wine to choose different kinds of glasses, in order to make the wine more mellow. The main function of the glass is to retain the aroma of the wine, so that the wine can be rotated in the glass and fully combined with the air. The standard type is a tall glass with a large stomach and a small mouth, known as a tulip glass, so that the aroma can concentrate on the top of the glass. The reason for the high foot is that you can hold the glass with your hands, so as not to touch the belly of the glass and affect the temperature of the wine.
A good wine glass is not only good for the taste of wine, but also can improve the taste of life, today let us tell you the secret.
1. Transparent cup
A good wine glass, must be transparent, or wine color from where to talk! It’s such an obvious thing, but in fact people often forget it. It’s better to save those colored glasses for drinking water, and the clear ones for wine. Although it may not be 100% of the color of the wine, it is still an important factor in ensuring that the wine is enjoyed.
2. Goblets
A good wine glass must also be a tall glass, so that people can hold it well. Straight cylindrical glasses, when held, raise the temperature of the wine in the glass: a disaster for white and rose wines. After all, the mere process of transferring wine from bottle to glass already raises the temperature of the wine by a degree or two. Add the temperature of your hand to that and you’ll soon have a glass of wine. Also, the “legs” of the goblet should not be too short, which will be difficult to handle, and of course not too long, which will be very fragile.
3.Tulip cups
This is what a wine glass should look like. It’s wide at the bottom, slightly up and narrow. What is the purpose? It gives the wine room inside the glass to release its aroma, and the top layer of the wine is in contact with the oxidation while reducing the loss of aroma. Gradually narrow the mouth, also can minimize the evaporation of the aroma.
4.Not too small
The capacity of the cup is still very important! Remember, during a formal tasting, you never fill a glass with more than a third of the volume of wine, and even when you’re not particularly fussy, you never fill more than half a glass. Why is that? Because the rest of the place is left for the wine to finish. It’s becoming more and more popular to use larger glasses, especially when drinking more expensive wines. Ignore this, though, even if someone tells you that wine is better oxygenated by using a fish tank, use a decanter instead.
5.Don’t have too thick a cup
Some people think that if the glass is too thin, pick up the jittery, always afraid of breaking, use it is very uncomfortable: in fact, it can be selected according to the material of the cup. Glass or crystal cup or a mixture of glass and crystal products, the final advantage of this kind of cup is not only to keep the glass durable, but also have the exquisite crystal, basically will not be worn, not easy to break.
