With the increase of social activities, all kinds of wine have appeared in different occasions, and many people have a good knowledge of wine. But you drank the right wine. Did you take the right glass?
1. The correct posture of holding the white wine glass
Compared with the red wine glass, the white wine glass is smaller and not so wide, and it is an elongated oval. The mouth of the cup is slightly larger than the belly, which is suitable for slightly sweet and refrigerated wine. Pour the wine to about two thirds.
2. Hold the red wine glass in the correct posture. The glass has a short leg and a large body. You can hold the corner of the glass with your index finger and middle finger, and hold it close to the body when drinking. The temperature of your hand will help the red wine release its fragrance. Because the drinking temperature of red wine is 12-18, we should pay special attention not to touch the belly of the red wine glass, and the more exquisite professional method is to hold the base of the wine glass by hand to avoid waking up too fast.
3. The correct posture of holding a champagne glass
The most basic point of holding a wine or champagne glass is to hold the slender handle at the bottom of the glass and never touch the top part of the glass. When toasting, you can firmly hold the bottom of the cup foot with your thumb, ring finger and little finger, hold the cup foot with your middle finger, and lightly put your index finger on the joint between the cup foot and the glass.
Keep your fingers as straight as possible to show the graceful curves of your hands. The slender champagne glass helps to appreciate the rich bubbles. If you want to combine watching bubbles with tasting wine, you can choose a large cup with a narrow bottom.
4. Correct posture of holding brandy glass
Brandy is suitable for heating and drinking, so the correct way to hold the glass is to wrap the glass body with your palm from bottom to top. In this way, the temperature of the hand will be transmitted to the brandy and the fragrance of the wine will be moderately extracted.
Brandy has a high degree of alcohol. In order to avoid excessive dispersion of alcohol, the glass mouth should not be opened too wide, which is not suitable for swigging. However, brandy is rarely seen in general reception banquets, so it is not as strict as wine and champagne glasses.
5. The correct posture of holding a cocktail glass
This kind of glass has a slender handle at the bottom and a regular triangle or trapezoid at the top. Because most cocktails need to be treated with ice, the cocktail glass is held in the same way as a grape glass, just holding the foot of the glass, which can prevent the temperature of the hand from affecting the flavor of the wine.
