Different wines with different wine glasses
Just like the tea ceremony, professional tea sets can bring out the aroma of tea leaves to the fullest. The same is true for wine tasting, with a good wine glass, it can enhance the level of wine tasting.
The shape of the glass can determine the flow of the wine and the intensity of the aroma. When the glass is pushed closer to the lips, the taste buds become fully alert, and when the flow of the wine is directed to the appropriate taste sensor zone, a variety of different taste sensations are also produced. When the tongue starts to come into contact with wine, three kinds of messages will be released immediately, that is: temperature, texture and flavor of wine… Generally, when eating western food, there will be several cups in front of them, in fact, this is for drinking Equipped with different wines. When drinking red wine, choose a glass with a larger belly, because 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 even more necessary to use a large glass, which can quickly dissipate the stale smell that has been stored all year round and avoid disturbing the mellow aroma of the wine.
The belly and mouth of the wine glass for drinking white wine are small, so that the aroma of the wine is easy to gather, and the aroma will not dissipate too quickly. The slender glass is used for drinking champagne, and you can enjoy the process of the bubbles rising slowly. The big glass does not have such a “beauty”. It is best to choose a wine glass with a mouth that opens like a petal, so that the wine can flow directly to the sweet area on the tip of the tongue when drinking.
In addition, the shape of the wine glass also determines the first contact point when the wine is imported.
For wines with higher acidity, you should choose a tulip-shaped wine glass. The mouth of the glass allows the wine to flow through the sweet area of the tip of the tongue first, highlighting its fruity taste and balancing the originally higher acidity. When tasting fruity wines with low acidity, you can use a glass with a large opening to let the wine flow to the middle of the tongue and then to all sides to create a harmonious feeling of fruitiness and acidity.
Red wine glasses with different shapes and radians have great differences and influences on the aroma and taste of wine, which often surprises wine lovers who are new to this way. Generally speaking, grape varieties vary widely in aroma, fruitiness, acidity, tannin and alcohol content, depending on their character and region. The wine glass does not change the nature of the wine, however, the shape of the wine glass can determine the flow, smell, quality and strength of the wine, which in turn affects the aroma, taste, balance and aftertaste of the wine. Therefore, through the guidance of the shape of the cup, the wine can flow into the appropriate taste area of the tongue (the tongue has 4 different taste areas, the tip of the tongue is the most sensitive to sweetness, the back of the tongue is most sensitive to bitterness, and the inside and outside of the tongue are respectively It is most sensitive to acid and salty), which in turn determines the final presentation of the wine’s structure and flavor.
