We often say that to drink wine, you should choose the right glass. If you are drunk to buy drunk, then when this sentence is not said. However, if you want to taste or even enjoy a glass of wine, then you must have a suitable glass. Why do you say that?
Scientific explanation: why do we have to choose the right glass?
Wine is an alcoholic drink that can fully mobilize the senses: you need to see its color, smell its smell, taste its taste with your tongue and feel it with your heart. All of these need the help of a goblet. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right wine glass.
(1) Good for color
The color of wine can often reveal the age / aging time, grape species and whether it is deteriorated, so it is very important to observe the color of wine. The wine glass has excellent transparency, which is very suitable for color observation.
(2) Good for smell
In February 2015, the Japanese medical research group released the research results: they used the newly developed special camera to capture the changes of ethanol (alcohol) in different open cups. The research process includes the experiments on different wine glasses (cocktail cup, wine cup and ordinary toughened glass)
As alcohol is a volatile substance, when alcohol volatilizes from the surface of wine, the aroma will also be emitted, which is conducive to the drinker to smell. As can be seen from the figure, only the mouth of the wine cup forms a circular red aroma band, so from the perspective of aroma, the wine cup is the most appropriate.
(3) Good for tasting
However, it is generally believed that the thinner the lip is, the less influence the glass will have on the drinking experience, which is the reason why the lip is thinner.
(4) Shake the glass
Usually, the belly of a wine glass is wider than the mouth of the glass, so that the wine is not spilled out when the glass is shaken.
