How to choose wine glasses?

As we all know, to appreciate the taste and mouthfeel of red wine, wine glasses are essential. Of course, if people with a little knowledge know that glasses for drinking red wine should be tall, closed and full, and if you only know mugs, whisky glasses or glass cups, then you should pay attention next time you go shopping. ?

The best wine container is this: its glass is colorless and transparent, even and thin, its style is high-legged, its capacity is large, and its mouth is relatively small. Only when red wine is put in such a cup can its charming color be displayed and its attractive breath be concentrated near the mouth of the cup. ?

If you want to look like a master of red wine, you should realize the key to having a good red wine glass. Anyone who knows red wine knows that the color, aroma and taste of wine will change with the shape, size and thickness of the cup. In most cases, as long as your nose is not blocked, the difference you smell will be obvious. ?

Therefore, there are three key points in the wine master's glass:?

First of all, glass should be transparent, so only thin glass or crystal (lead-free crystal) can make your eyes more transparent and clear; ?

Secondly, the cup body should be open, and the mouth of the cup you choose should have different degrees of contraction. Only in this way can the aroma before you smell the wine stay in the cup. When you bury your nose in the mouth of the cup, you can immediately smell the rich wine that permeates the whole small space. ?

Then there is wine tasting. Tasting wine is not a matter of taking a sip of wine and then swallowing it quickly. Tasting wine is to spread it through your mouth with taste buds. In short, when tasting wine, the glass touches your lips, and the thinness, thickness and roughness of the texture will have a certain influence, which will give people different feelings and impressions, so the lighter and more delicate the glass, the more powerful it will be. ? It can be seen that the focus of reading, smelling and tasting is that wine experts will pay attention to every link of "enjoying" tasting. At this time, three wine tasting experts' red wine glasses appeared, one is a colored cup, the other is a breath cup, and the other is a taste cup. They look like wine tasting experts and are indispensable. ?

Maybe you will ask, in some banquets or shelves, we can only see wine glasses with similar shapes. Yes, you are right, but if you look at the wine glasses carefully, you will find the differences between these red wine glasses. ?

Some cups have no impurities in color, and they are like a flat mirror through them, which is suitable for making colored cups. ?

Different wine glasses contain red wine, and the influence of aroma and taste is obvious. Even if you just learn to drink red wine, you can understand. Therefore, more powerful wine owners will find the perfect wine glass that is most suitable for each kind of red wine brewed from grapes. Don't laugh, this is not a lie, this is a very scientific thing. A bottle of wine itself will not be affected by the glass, but the shape, texture and transparency of the glass can change the taste of the wine.

Color will affect your vision, smell and taste to appreciate a bottle of high-quality red wine. ?

If you want to look better than a wine expert, Na Wei Cha suggests that you bring your own wine glasses, preferably Riedel series, when you have the opportunity to attend a wine tasting. One drink is enough. You don't have to ask others to know that you are a super wine master and will take out the best bottle to taste with you.

Which brand of wine glass is good?

First of all, to solve this problem, we must first make it clear that different wines need to be drunk in different glasses in order to best highlight the flavor. After determining the cup type, which brand of red wine glass is good? This is like a good horse with a saddle. Let's get a general idea of the influence of the cup shape of red wine on wine tasting.

Take Bordeaux Cup and Burgundy Cup as examples: Burgundy Cup is more round and shallow, and its abdomen is spherical and almost pear-shaped; The Bordeaux Cup is deep and long.

The spherical body of the Burgundy cup can make the wine flow to the middle of the tongue first, and then to all directions, so that the fruity taste and sour taste can be combined with each other; Narrowing the glass mouth inward can better condense the deep wine aroma, so it is suitable for tasting Burgundy wines with rich tannins, high acidity and rich structure (such as Black Pi Nuo).

Most Bordeaux cups are tulip goblets. It is also common in the market. Bordeaux red wine has a strong fruit sour taste. The longer cup body and the radian of the cup wall can properly control the diffusion of wine in the mouth, and the wider cup mouth can make the drinker feel the gradual aroma of Bordeaux wine better. Suitable for tasting Bordeaux wines (such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). When you choose the shape of the cup. Let's look at the brand again.
