First to third in the picture, tulip type, wine. In fact, the white wine glass is not very clear. Like a red wine glass, it has a big mouth and a curved belly. It is a habit of westerners to take wine as the table, and it is also common knowledge that red wine with meat and white wine with seafood. The difference between the cups of red wine and white wine lies in the different shapes of the cups. Because white wine is green and has a faint fragrance, the white wine glass is in the shape of a cup. On the one hand, it can retain the fragrance of liquor, on the other hand, it will not turn green in the mouth.
Champagne cups are also shaped like tulips, which are the thinnest and tallest. Such a noble and romantic glass can be sipped slowly and fully appreciate the pleasure of sparkling wine in the glass. The cup is slightly thinner than the lower mouth of the wine glass.
Fourth, pear-shaped, short-legged cup, brandy. Brandy cups are born with a noble taste. They are really designed to hold brandy. A mellow figure can keep the fragrance of a century-old nectar in the cup. Relax, let the temperature in your hand slowly warm this century-old nectar, and savor the delicious food on earth.

Seventh, Colin's straight glass is much taller than the tall glass (similar in shape, thick in bottom and hemispherical in internal shape), which is why such a tall figure can make the cocktail taste different. Take Commander Singapore as an example. In Collins cup, the change of taste can be fully exerted. In addition, straight cups can also be used to drink green tea.
In exquisite western-style dinners, the table is often filled with all kinds of crystal cups, both straight and with necks, with different sizes, which makes people unable to start at once. In fact, wine glasses, like knives, forks, plates and bowls in western food, are all part of etiquette, but there are rules to follow and it is not difficult to master them. After understanding, you don't have to stick to etiquette, because the way to eat is to enjoy the food better after all.
Wine is usually drunk in a tall crystal glass. In ancient times, a straight cup without a neck was used, but now few people use it like this. This kind of cup has been used to drink whisky.
Hold the neck of the cup with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger instead of your body, so that you can fully appreciate the color of the wine, and the heat emitted by your palm will not affect the best drinking temperature of the wine.
Basically, most types of wine (red, white and pink) can use tulip-shaped cups, long necks, round bowls and narrow bodies. But exquisite drinkers not only choose different glasses according to the type of wine, but also the same wine. Because of the different origin and year, glasses should also be different.
Champagne cups are usually long and straight, and slender tulips can also be used, which will make beautiful bubbles have a longer journey, gather into bundles and float to the top of the cup.
A cup with small body and small capacity is suitable for drinking liqueur and port wine.
When drinking brandy, you use a short-necked cup. The curvature of the cup mouth is larger and the cup mouth is wider. Don't hold your neck and drink, but gently hold the cup and bowl in your palm, so that your body temperature can accelerate the volatilization of wine.

/kloc-in the 0/8th century, glass glasses with round bottoms and necks came out. The exquisite and elegant appearance made European aristocrats flock to it.
The original glass goblet is carved bronze, which is unrealistic. Paying attention to function seems to have only started at the beginning of last century. But there are exceptions-Riesling wine glasses made in Mo Ze are engraved with flowers to increase refraction and make golden yellow wine more crystal clear; Alsace wine glass is a long green bottleneck, and it is also to set off the color of wine.
What is a crystal?
The so-called crystal products are usually lead-containing glass. /kloc-in the British glass factory in the 0/7th century, lead oxide was added to the glass to lower the melting point, and transparent, high refractive index and heavy crystal glass was made. All-lead crystal (all? Leadership? Crystal is the most beautiful glass with a diamond-like luster. The name crystal product can only be used for products with lead content exceeding 30%, and it is called lead crystal in Europe. Crystal) generally refers to products with lead oxide content exceeding 24%, but Japan has not complied with such regulations.
