A wine glass is not just a container that is filled with a drink. Experts agree that a particular type of wine glass is required for a certain type of wine drink in order to obtain a unique bouquet of taste.
The fact is that the perception of the drink depends on the shape of the glass. And the glass has a different configuration for a reason. The shape of the glass determines the space above the wine, where evaporation takes place, which forms the very aromatic layer. The human tongue is designed in such a way that the sense of taste is felt differently at different points. For example, the tip of the tongue responds to sweet, and its sides to sour, and the farthest part to bitter. So which glass to go with which wine drink? The shape of the glass varies the taste, while playing on this particular feature. The wide type of wine glass makes you drink wine in small sips. The narrow one encourages the person to tilt their head back slightly, allowing the drink to quickly reach the back of the tongue. Today there are several types of glasses. But basically they are presented in three forms: a ball, a lyre and a tulip. Wine glasses are different in volume: about 140-180 ml for red wine and 70-100 ml for white wine. The first ones have a rounded configuration, the second ones are elongated. Of course, there are other nuances as well. The use of a narrow burgundy glass, for example, will not allow you to create a whirling in a glass, which gives this wine a unique aroma. In addition, the glass also needs a correct descent onto the cone itself from above in order not to allow the aromas to evaporate while tasting the wine. Moreover, the stem of the glass should be long in order to avoid heating the drink in the glass itself and losing its aroma. It is better to drink champagne from a narrow slotted glass, which reduces the foaminess of the wine, while the bubbles do not evaporate. Wine glasses are made of thin crystal of high transparency and frequency. They should also be on a high and comfortable leg. And remember that you can only taste the real taste of a wine drink from the right glass.
