Opinions on the appropriate capacity of red wine glasses

Various wine glasses require different types of wine glasses to make the wine more mellow. The main function of the wine glass is to retain the aroma of the wine, allowing the wine to rotate within the glass and fully combine with the air. The standard cup shape is a goblet with a large belly and a small mouth, which is the so-called tulip cup. This is conducive to the accumulation of aroma at the top of the cup. The reason for the high legs is that the hand can hold the cup to prevent the hand from touching the belly of the cup and affecting the temperature of the wine. The red wine glass has a handle at the bottom and the upper body is rounder and wider than the white wine glass. It is mainly used to hold red wine and cocktails made with it. Among red wine glasses, the diameter of the wine glass dedicated to Bordeaux red wine is narrow, and the ideal capacity is about 170CC. Burgundy wine glasses are tulip glasses with a wider base.

In fact, there is not much particularity in household red wine glasses, and you can buy them at will according to your personal preferences.

About the choice of red wine glasses

1. The shape of a good professional wine glass must be elegant, supple, smooth and gentle, with a round and thin body, light and pleasant weight. It has excellent beauty and touch. On the one hand, it allows the wine to fully contact with the air, and the temperature, concentration, harmony, uniformity and richness are all perfectly displayed. In addition, it must have a crystal clear texture and excellent transparency, allowing wine tasters to fully observe the color, clarity, bubbles and gradient of the wine juice.

2. The capacity of the red wine glass must be large. Many people think that a wine glass with a capacity of more than 500-600 ml is a bit too big, but from a professional point of view, it is just right. If the glass is too small, it cannot be shaken. For wine, red wine does not get enough room to maneuver, which is not conducive to the development of taste. The white wine should be smaller, because the suitable drinking temperature of white wine is lower, and the amount you drink at one time is smaller. The smaller the cup, the temperature rises more slowly.

3. Hand-blown and machine-blown cups are very similar in appearance, but their prices are very different. As long as you observe carefully, the curvature of handmade cups is particularly delicate and refined. If you touch the cup base with your fingers, you can often feel a thin seam running straight from top to bottom on machine cups, which is not difficult to identify.

4. It is best not to fill the wine glass too full with red and white wine. Generally speaking, it is enough to fill about 1/2~1/3 of the wine glass, but champagne can be poured into about 1/2 to 1/3 of the glass. 1/2~2/3 to easily enjoy the beautiful Kanazawa and bubbles.

5. When holding a wine glass, it is best to hold the base or base lightly with your fingers. Rotate the glass before drinking to diffuse the wine vapor and make it easier to smell the aroma. Do not hold the cup with your palm to avoid affecting the temperature of the wine. I have seen foreign videos and some of them are shaking very violently.
