Wine Glasses

The red wine cup has a handle at the bottom, and the upper body is deeper than that of the Baijiu cup, and is more plump and broad. Mainly used to hold red wine and cocktails made from it. The main materials of red wine glasses are crystal and glass. The aroma and taste of crystal glasses and glasses will be slightly different, mainly due to the different roughness of their surfaces. When drinking wine in a romantic or warm situation, it is better to choose a wine glass with generous design, no decorations, transparent, spherical or tulip shaped. Although the choice of wine glass does not affect the texture of the wine, but for the subjective feeling of drinking, using a wine glass with elegant design can enhance the drinking style. The size of the glass should be about 10 ounces, and the pouring should not exceed half of the glass. The glass should have enough body to easily shake the wine to spread the wine aroma. Generally, the mouth of a red wine cup is slightly open than that of a Baijiu cup, but the mouth of the cup should still be slightly inward to gather the flavor of the wine. The main materials of red wine glasses are crystal and glass. The aroma and taste of crystal glasses and glasses will be slightly different, mainly due to the different roughness of their surfaces. It can be observed through the microscope that the surface of the crystal is more concave and convex than that of the glass, and the glass is more hung.

These two cups named by grape producing areas can indeed be said to be tailored to suit the grape varieties in different producing areas – Bordeaux cups are more suitable for tasting the wines in Bordeaux producing areas, whether they are full-bodied and thick Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot with soft tannins and low acidity, they can perform well; The Burgundy Cup is better when tasting the Pinot Noir grapes with higher acidity in Burgundy. Because different parts of the tongue have different sensitivity to taste – the tip of the tongue is the most sensitive to sweet taste, the back of the tongue is the most sensitive to bitter taste, while the inside and outside of the tongue are sensitive to acid and salt respectively. The design of the wine glass is based on such a human structure. The difference in the order in which the wine wraps the tongue can balance the sweet taste of fruit and the acid of tannins, making the taste smoother. Whether Bordeaux Cup or Burgundy Cup, there are several detailed classifications.
