I have told you about the types and brands of wine glasses before, so today I will introduce to you how to choose wine glasses and the materials of wine glasses.
1. How to choose a wine glass
1. Transparency selection
Choose a wine glass that is as transparent as possible. In fact, serving whisky in a traditional kook glass is not a wise move. Practical transparent glass or crystal wine glasses are more suitable. When the light passes through the wine glass, the liquid in the glass immediately has aura. Despite the thinness of the glass and the weirdness of the crystal quilt, both vessels are suitable for serving wine.
2. Cup type selection
It’s a good idea to choose a large wine glass with a concave bottom. Because the shape is somewhat similar to a tulip flower, this kind of wine glass is called a tulip-shaped wine glass. This wine glass has enough space for the wine to come into contact with the air, and it also helps to bring the aroma together and send it to your nose. With or without a handle, the large body of the glass allows the wine to fully contact the air, thus enriching the taste and weakening the shortcomings.
3. Capacity selection
Don’t be stingy. Use a larger glass unless you want to swallow the wine in one gulp rather than savor it. Shot glasses limit your options for adding additional concoctions, and what’s worse is “small wine glass with less flavor.” A blackjack is always better than a shot glass because it’s more practical (you can use it to hold different drinks). Don’t just fill a glass with just a few drops, leave room for ice cubes and other concoctions.
2. What are the materials of the wine glass?
At present, the materials of wine glasses are mainly glass and crystal. Although very similar in appearance, there are subtle differences in the aroma and taste brought by crystal wine glasses and glass wine glasses, which are caused by the different roughness of the two surfaces. It can be observed through the microscope that compared with the smooth surface of the glass, the crystal surface has more concave and convex surfaces. During the shaking of the wine glass, it is conducive to breaking the wine molecules to release the aroma; using it to hold the champagne, the performance of the bubbles will be better. , At the same time, the concave and convex surface on the glass wall can retain the foam of the wine body for a long time, and this is the soul of champagne. In addition, the crystal material has strong toughness and high wear resistance; the refraction point of light is also very rich, so that the wine glass looks particularly beautiful under the illumination of natural light; and its completely transparent characteristics without any color can be better It enhances the beauty of the wine and restores the original appearance of the wine body (the glass usually has a gray-green color). Based on the above factors, crystal cups will become the first choice for wine lovers.
Finally, the above is the purchase skills and material topics of wine glasses introduced by the editor today.
