The function of the champagne glass
The body of the champagne glass should have a certain length, so as to fully appreciate the fun of the wine body continuing to bubble in the glass, and at the same time the wine body can slowly flow into the mouth, which can be tasted carefully; considering the high sugar content of dessert wine , It is suitable for drinking after a meal. The cups of sweet wine are not very large, and the opening design is also small, so as to better highlight the aroma of the wine body and the taste of honey; and the spirits cups are also relatively small in appearance. So as to avoid the embarrassment caused by excessive drinking.
In addition, there are some professional wine glasses in the wine glass classification, which is also the type of wine glass we should be familiar with. The international standard wine tasting glass, also known as the ISO glass (International Standards Organization), is an all-round wine glass designed by the French INAO (National Committee for Designation of Origin) in 1974 and is now widely used in international wine tasting activities. The height of the cup is 5-6 cm, the capacity of the wine glass is about 215 ml, the mouth of the wine glass is large, and the shape of the cup is like a blooming tulip. The glass body has a large capacity, which allows the wine to breathe freely in the glass; the slightly narrowed glass mouth is designed to prevent the wine from splashing when shaking, and to allow the wine aroma to gather at the mouth of the glass for better feel the aroma of the wine. Simply put, a professional blind tasting glass is an ISO specification wine glass with a black coating for use in blind tasting sessions. The familiar blind tasting session usually covers the wine label with cloth or tinfoil, but the appearance of professional blind tasting cups increases the difficulty of blind tasting, which puts forward higher requirements on the level of wine testers.
In the process of drinking from the above glasses, follow the general practice of wine tasting. Simply put, first observe the color of the wine; secondly, shake the wine glass to make the wine body form a “hanging cup” in the wall of the glass, and at the same time fully contact the air, so as to feel the aroma of the wine body from the sense of smell; Let the wine stay in the mouth for a period of time, so that the taste buds can fully feel the taste of the wine. As for the amount of alcohol when pouring, I believe it is also a problem that everyone is generally concerned about. Generally speaking, the amount of white wine/sweet wine is about 3 ounces (about 90 ml), and the amount of red wine is about 5 ounces (about 150 ml).
Different wine glasses have different functions, and for some wine varieties, only suitable wine glasses can perfectly bring out the real taste. In short, interested friends, you can go and find out.
