Wine glass



It can be roughly divided into three types: red wine glass, white wine glass and champagne glass. Different kinds of wine glasses should be selected to make the wine more mellow. The main function of the wine cup is to retain the aroma of the wine, so that the wine can rotate in the cup and fully combine with the air. The standard cup type is a tall cup with a large belly and a small mouth, which is called a tulip cup, so it is beneficial for the aroma to gather above the cup. The reason for high feet is that you can hold the cup with your hands so as not to touch the belly of the cup and affect the wine temperature. In ancient times, there was a poem that said, "If you want to drink the lute, you should hurry up immediately“

function
 
Appreciate the color of wine by its whirling state in the glass, so as to judge the quality of wine. Therefore, the wine glass should be made light, and it will not fall into the hands when held; The color of wine can be clearly seen only when it is thin. Different types of wine glasses have their own characteristics considering the need of drinking. Generally speaking, the decisive factors that cause the difference of wine glasses include the opening design and the size of the cup belly (the difference in the thickness of the glass wall is not very large). Among them, the different opening designs determine the flow direction of the wine body entrance. We know that the taste buds of the tongue have different sensitive areas. The tip of the tongue corresponds to sweet taste, the inside of the tongue corresponds to sour taste, the outside of the tongue corresponds to salty taste, and the root of the tongue corresponds to bitter taste. The shape of the cup and the size of the mouth determine the first contact point between the wine body and the taste bud when entering, thus affecting the taste of the wine. For example, when drinking from a small cup, the head must be lowered. The first sensory area where the wine flows into the tongue is the tip of the tongue, which highlights the aroma and fruit sweetness of the wine.
 
Traditional red wine glasses are usually larger in appearance design. Red wine is stronger in body and aroma. Therefore, it needs a larger surface to give full play to its aroma. Narrow mouth and wide belly are the classic design in red wine glasses. Narrow mouth is to make the aroma of wine gather at the mouth of the glass, which is not easy to escape, so as to fully taste the aroma of wine and fruit; The purpose of the wide belly is to make the wine fully contact with the air. The popular wine glasses in the past are all small and exquisite styles. The fashionable big belly glasses are more magnificent and gorgeous when held in hand. Red wine glasses can be basically divided into two types, namely Bordeaux and Burgundy, which are designed for different grape varieties produced in the two places.
 
 
 
In terms of appearance design, the body of white wine glass is slightly longer than that of red wine glass, with larger radian, but the overall height is lower than that of red wine glass. Because white wine is slightly lighter in taste and taste, it does not need a large belly to release the aroma of wine body. According to different grape varieties, there are roughly three common types of white wine cups: Chardonnay cup, everlasting longing for each other Blanc cup and Riesling cup. As everlasting longing for each other is a fresh and sweet wine, the opening and belly of its wine glass are relatively small, so that the wine will flow into the tongue immediately, and the mouth will be covered by the flower and fruit aroma of the wine, thus weakening the acidity of the wine body; The opening and belly of the Chardonnay glass are relatively large, and its wine body is relatively full, so it is suitable to choose a round-bellied glass; The Riesling glass is higher on the belly, and its wine body is slightly better on the acidity. This design can slow down the speed of wine body flowing into the mouth.
 
The body of the champagne cup should be of a certain length, so that you can fully appreciate the pleasure of the continuous bubbling of the wine body in the cup, and at the same time, the wine body can slowly flow into the mouth, so you can drink carefully; Considering the sugar content of sweet wine is high and it is suitable for drinking after dinner, the cup of sweet wine is not large, and its opening design is also small, so as to better highlight the aroma of wine and the taste of honey; The strong wine cup is also relatively small in appearance, so as to avoid the embarrassment caused by excessive drinking.
 
 
 
Hanging cup
 
In addition, there are some professional wine glasses in the category of wine glasses, which is also the type of wine glasses we should be familiar with. The international standard wine tasting cup, also known as the ISO cup (International Standards Organization), is an all-purpose wine cup designed by INAO (National Origin Naming Committee) in 1974 and widely used in international wine tasting activities. Its foot is 5~6cm high, the capacity of the wine cup is about 215ml, the mouth and belly of the wine cup are large, and the shape of the cup is like blooming tulips. The body capacity of the glass is large, which allows the wine to breathe freely in the glass; The design of the slightly narrowed cup mouth is to prevent the liquor from splashing when shaking, and to make the wine aroma gather at the cup mouth, so as to better feel the wine aroma. In short, the professional blind cup is an ISO standard wine cup with black coating, which is used in the Blind Tasting process. The familiar blind tasting link is usually covered with cloth or tin foil, while the appearance of professional blind tasting cup increases the difficulty of blind tasting, which puts forward higher requirements for the level of the wine taster.
 
In the process of drinking with the above-mentioned glass, the general practice of wine evaluation shall be followed. In short, first observe the color of wine; Secondly, shake the wine glass to make the wine body form a "hanging cup" in the glass wall, and fully contact with the air at the same time, so as to feel the aroma of the wine body from the sense of smell; Finally, take a sip and let the liquor stay in the mouth for a period of time, so that the taste buds can fully feel the taste of the wine. Generally speaking, the amount of white wine/sweet wine is about 3 ounces (about 90 ml), and the amount of red wine is about 5 ounces (about 150 ml).
