Match Wine Glasses For Wine

Like the tea ceremony, professional tea sets can bring out the fragrance of tea leaves incisively and vividly. The same is true for wine tasting. Pairing with a good wine glass can elevate the level of wine tasting.

The shape of the wine glass can determine the flow direction of the wine and the intensity of the aroma. When the wine glass is pushed close to the lips, the taste buds begin to be fully alert, and when the flow of the wine is directed to the appropriate taste sensing area, a variety of different taste sensations are also produced. When the tongue comes into contact with wine, three kinds of information are released immediately, that is: temperature, texture and flavor of wine... Generally, when eating western food, there are several large and small cups in front of them. In fact, this is for drinking. Equipped with different wines. To drink red wine, you should choose a glass with a bigger belly, because the red wine needs to be in contact with oxygen in order to fully release the aroma of the wine. If it is an aged red wine, it is necessary to use a large glass, which can quickly dissipate the stale smell stored all the year round and avoid disturbing the mellow aroma of the wine.

For the white wine glass, the belly and the mouth of the glass are too small, so that it is easy to gather the aroma of the wine, and it will not let the aroma dissipate too quickly. The slender glass is used to drink champagne, you can appreciate the process of rising bubbles slowly, the big glass does not have such "beauty". For dessert wine, it is best to choose a wine glass whose mouth opens like a flower petal, so that when drinking, the liquor can flow directly to the sweetness area on the tip of the tongue.

In addition, the shape of the wine glass also determines the first contact point at the entrance of the wine.

To drink wine with higher acidity, you should choose a tulip cup-shaped wine glass. The mouth of the cup can make the wine flow through the sweet area on the tip of the tongue first, highlighting its fruity taste and balancing the original higher acidity. When tasting wine with heavy fruit flavor and low acidity, you can use a glass with a larger opening to allow the wine to flow to the middle of the tongue and then to all sides, creating a harmonious feeling of fruit flavor and acidity.

Wine glasses of different shapes and curvatures have a great difference and influence on the aroma and taste of the liquor, which often surprises wine lovers who are new to this way. Generally speaking, the grape varieties are different from the wine quality and producing area, and the aroma, fruit taste, acidity, tannin and alcohol content are also very different. The wine glass does not change the nature of the wine. However, the shape of the wine glass can determine the flow direction, smell, quality and strength of the wine, which in turn affects the aroma, taste, balance and finish of the wine. Therefore, through the guide of the shape of the cup body, the wine can be allowed to flow into the appropriate taste zone of the tongue (the tongue has 4 different taste zones, the tip of the tongue is the most sensitive to sweetness, the back of the tongue is the most sensitive to bitterness, and the inside and outside of the tongue are respectively It is most sensitive to acid and saltiness), which determines the final appearance of the structure and flavor of the wine.
