The grape variety determines the shape of the cup. Each grape variety should be tailor-made. Each type of wine glass will have a different shape, but there is only one principle to follow, which is to suit its own characteristics.

The design of wine glasses is based on the acidity, tannin, aroma, taste and other factors of the wine. Our daily selection of wine glasses can also follow the following principles:

1. If the aroma is relatively strong, the wine glass requires a wider belly; if the aroma is relatively fresh, you should choose a cup with a closed mouth.

2. For wines with high acidity, choose a cup with a fat belly. For wines with high tannins, that is, high astringency, choose a wine glass with a slightly pointed bottom.

Why does the shape of a wine glass have such a big impact on taste? Because different parts of the tongue have different feelings of taste: the tip of the tongue is the most sensitive to sweetness, the inside and outside of the tongue are the most sensitive to sour and salty taste, and the back of the tongue is the most sensitive to bitter taste, so when the wine in different cups flows When you put it in your mouth, the size and position of the area it contacts your tongue can affect your sense of taste.

The choice of wine glasses for a family should be based on the owner’s preferences. Whichever variety you like, you should prepare more cups of this variety. Wine glasses are generally tulip-shaped, with a large belly and a small mouth, so that the aroma of the wine can be retained and concentrated on the top of the cup. The belly should be large enough to allow the wine to rotate in the cup and fully combine with the air. The cup legs should be large enough. High enough to allow your hand to hold it and avoid touching the belly of the cup and affecting the temperature of the wine.

Generally we need three wine glasses: red wine glass, white wine glass and champagne glass. The same bottle of wine, tasted in two different glasses, will have two different tastes. Therefore, according to the personality differences of wine, cups can be roughly divided into the following types:

1. Burgundy red wine glass: The cup has a shorter body and a larger belly, which is suitable for sticking your nose in and smelling it. fragrant.

2. Bordeaux red wine glass: The glass body is longer and the mouth of the cup is narrow, allowing the smell of the wine to gather at the mouth of the cup. Bordeaux glasses are also suitable for red wines other than Burgundy, as most wine glasses are made according to the Bordeaux style.

3. Champagne glass: The glass body is slender, like a slender tulip. The slender glass body is to allow the bubbles to have enough room to rise. A standard champagne glass has a pointed concave at the bottom of the glass. Click, this little design can make the bubbles richer and more beautiful.

4. Sweet wine glass: small wine glass. 5. White wine glass: The body of the glass is longer and the belly of the glass is thinner, like a tulip waiting to bloom. White wine glasses are thinner than red wine glasses, so there is less contact with the air in the wine box, making the aroma last longer. Today we will briefly introduce the types and choices of wine glasses. Wine is alive, and different wine glasses can also deduce different charms of wine. ? Generally speaking, there are two main materials for red wine glasses, glass and crystal. The aroma and taste brought by crystal cups and glass cups will be slightly different because of the different roughness of the surfaces of the two. It can be observed through a microscope that the surface of crystal has more concavities and convexities than glass. When it is used to hold champagne, the bubbles will perform better. At the same time, the small concavities on the wall of the glass can retain these bubbles longer. So even the same wine will have different flavors in wine glasses of different shapes and shapes. This is because the angle and lines of the glass at the top of the form determine the way the wine in the glass evaporates, and also affects the way the wine contacts the tongue, thereby affecting the taste of the wine. At this time, the wine glass is not only a container for holding wine, but more importantly, how to improve and show the best quality of red wine. ?The choice of wine glasses is generally based on crystal glasses, which are odorless, dust-free, and watermark-free. They need high light transmittance, good wear resistance, a certain hardness, and a crisp and pleasant sound when touched lightly. The thickness and shape of the wine glass must be carefully considered. Thin wine glasses are gorgeous but are often expensive to produce and fragile; opt for something sturdy but not too heavy. It is not recommended to purchase frosted or colored wine glasses as this will make it difficult to see the color of the wine. Sturdy wine glasses are dishwasher safe, but be careful not to use detergents as they can leave behind flavors. Because Bordeaux red wine has excellent quality, sales volume, and fame, most of the red wine glasses sold on the market are made based on the Bordeaux red wine glass style. The shape of the Bordeaux red wine glass is the shape of a tulip goblet. The body of the glass is long and the wall of the glass is not vertical. The curvature of the glass wall can moderately control the spread of the wine in the mouth, and the wider mouth of the glass can allow the wine and air to fully circulate. Contact allows the drinker to better feel the gradual aroma of Bordeaux wine. ?Burgundy wine glass?

The Burgundy red wine glass is in the shape of a pot-bellied spherical goblet. Because Burgundy wine has a stronger fruity flavor and flows more widely in the mouth, the spherical cup body It can make the red wine flow to the middle of the tongue first and then spread in all directions, so that the fruity and sour flavors can blend with each other; the inward narrowing of the cup mouth can better condense the profound wine aroma. ?Champagne glasses Champagne glasses are mainly tulip or flute-shaped. The body of the glass is longer than the red wine glass. The glass is thinner and slightly narrower at the mouth. The length of the cup is to retain the bubbles of champagne and prevent them from quickly escaping, making it easier to observe and play; the mouth of the cup is narrow to gather the aroma, making it easier to smell and taste it. To drink champagne, fill about 2/3 of the glass into a white wine glass. The glass is similar to a Boer wine glass, but smaller, with a longer body and a thinner belly. Smaller white wine glasses allow the wines to collect their delicate aromas, helping them breathe well and emit their charming aromas.

The main materials of red wine glasses are crystal and glass. The aroma and taste brought by crystal glasses and glass glasses will be slightly different because of the different roughness of their surfaces. It can be observed through a microscope that the surface of crystal has more concavities and convexities than glass. When it is used to hold champagne, the bubbles will perform better. At the same time, the small concavities on the wall of the glass can retain these bubbles longer. So even the same wine will have different flavors in wine glasses of different shapes and shapes.

At this time, the wine glass is not only a container for holding wine, but more importantly, how to improve and show the best quality of red wine.

When pouring red wine, you only need to pour a quarter of the amount, that is, it will fill up to the "belly" - that is, the widest part of the glass body - and you have to stop at the lower edge. . The less wine in the glass, the better, because the larger the remaining space in the glass, the smoother the wine will "breathe". If you pour it too full, you will not be able to appreciate the aroma and color of the wine.

Which wine should go with which glass? Top-notch white wine, Chardonnay, Burgundy, Bordeaux, dessert wine, champagne and other wines are specially designed based on how to drink to bring out the aroma and taste of red wine. champagne glasses. It can be seen that red wine has a special temperament and complex layers. The small champagne glass (Young Campagne glass) is slender in shape, minimizing the contact area between the wine and the air, thus extending the time the bubbles stay. Grand Champagne glass

(Grand Champagne glass) is slightly larger than the small champagne glass and is suitable for older champagne. You can use it to gently "shake" the wine in the glass to release the aroma.

When drinking white wine from a wine glass, the belly and rim of the cup should be small, so that the aroma of the wine can easily gather and not

make the aroma dissipate too quickly. Slender cups are used for drinking champagne. You can enjoy the process of bubbles rising slowly. Large cups do not have such "aesthetic". When you raise your glass and want to drink

, the long "nose" - that is, the part from the "belly" to the edge of the glass - is like a road that can carry the contents of the cup. The aroma of the wine is introduced directly into your nose. Chardonnay white wine (Chardonnay) has a more complex and rich taste, so we need to use this large-mouthed bowl-shaped Chardonnay wine glass to promote air circulation and mellow the wine flavor. The Young Burgundy glass is slightly larger than the white wine glass.

It allows the tannins in the red wine to evaporate faster, thereby reducing the acidity of the red wine and making it more delicious. Easy to swallow. Because the aroma of Pinot Noir is not too strong, this kind of cup has a wider "cup belly", which is used to retain the air in the cup and better preserve the aroma of the wine. The "nose" of the big Burgundy glass (Old Burgundy glass) is a little longer than that of the small Burgundy glass.

The aroma of the wine in the glass can stay longer because of the aging. Burgundy wine (Burgundy) is more fragile and less "lively" Bordeaux wine glass (Bordeaux): tulip goblet shape. Most wine glasses on the market are based on the Bordeaux style. Bordeaux red wine has strong sourness and astringency, so it is suitable for a cup with a long body and non-vertical wall. The curvature of the cup wall can moderately control the spread of wine in the mouth, and a wider mouth can make the drinker drink better. Feel the gradual aroma of Bordeaux wine. Young Bordeaux glass: Cabernet Sauvignon grape (the grape from which most Bordeaux wines are made) is rich in tannins. This bowl-shaped wine glass is larger, providing more room for the evaporation of Cabernet Sauvignon wine and helping to soften the wine. You can also swirl the glass to further speed up the softening of the wine.

Old Bordeaux glass is best for older red wines. This kind of cup is also a perfect match for Shiraz, because unlike some other red wines, Shiraz wine is not so fruity, but has a spicy and pungent aroma.

When drinking dessert wine, it is best to choose a wine glass with the mouth opening like a petal, that is, a dessert wine glass (Dessert

wine glass). When drinking, the wine can flow directly to the sweet area on the tip of the tongue, making people feel Fully experience the sweetness of wine
