When it comes to drinking wine, choosing the wrong glass can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. So how do you choose the right glass for each type of wine?
Brandy is best served in a brandy glass. Although the brandy glass has a large capacity, but generally the glass should not be full of wine to the edge of the glass. Some space needs to be reserved to allow the brandy in the glass to breathe.
Additionally, a tulip glass is available for tasting brandy. The mouth of the glass is smaller than the belly of the glass, so the aroma will bounce back when it hits the wall of the glass, and then mix in the middle of the glass and turn into another aroma, which will gradually evaporate.
The lowball glass is becoming increasingly popular in bars, where the style of "on the rocks" spirits is prominent.
The lowball glass has a heavy base and thick walls, and typically has a volume of 300 milliliters. It is cold and tough in the hand. But its specific shape is varied, some are round and fat, some have straight lines, and some have carvings.
Low ball cups are mostly used to carry ice spirits, especially whiskey. It is also used for cocktails. Many people feel that there is something manly about the robust and generous lowball glass, and because of this, it is often used to serve spirits on the rocks.
Straight-barrel, flat-bottomed glass A very popular glass for drinking Scotch is the straight-barrel, flat-bottomed glass. This glass can be broken down into a number of different types, as the size of the opening and the degree to which the rim of the glass is tucked away affects how the Scotch whisky is consumed. For example, the whisky from the Lowland region is relatively soft and delicate, the aroma is also relatively light, suitable for matching with a moderate opening, the rim of the glass introverted glass, so that the whisky aroma can be more prominent, while for whisky from the Ely production area, the peat flavor is very strong, so strong that for some people just contact with whisky and even a little pungent, so it is necessary to choose the opening of the larger, the rim of the cup outside of the glass, which can make the whisky not to appear too abrupt.
