When tasting various wines, it is best to choose the right wine glass to complement the wine and possibly have better results. So how do you choose the right wine glass?
Brandies are best paired with brandy glasses. Although the brandy glass has a large capacity, the glass should not be full to the rim. Some space needs to be set aside to allow the brandy in the glass to breathe.
Also, when tasting brandy, choose a tulip glass. It has a smaller mouth than the belly of the glass, so the aroma bounces back against the wall of the glass, then mixes in the middle of the glass and transforms into another aroma, which gradually evaporates. Low-ball glasses are becoming increasingly popular at bars for “on the rocks” spirits with a distinctive twist. Lowball glasses have a heavy base and thick walls, usually 300 ml. It feels cold and strong in the hand. But there are many different shapes, some round and fat, some with straight lines, some with carvings. Lowball glasses are mostly used to serve spirits on the rocks, especially whiskey. It is also used for cocktails. Many people feel that there is a manly quality to the robust and generous lowball glass, and for this reason it is often used for spirits on the rocks. One of the most popular glasses for drinking Scotch is the straight-barrel, flat-bottomed glass. It can be subdivided into a variety of different glasses, as the size of the opening, the degree of rim closure, and so on, all affect how the Scotch is served. For example, the whisky from the Lowlands region is softer and more delicate, the aroma is also lighter, suitable with a moderate opening, the rim of the glass, so that the aroma of the whisky can be more prominent, while for the whisky from the Ely region, the peat flavor is very strong, so strong that for some people who are new to whisky is even a bit harsh, so you need to choose a larger opening, the rim of the glass outward, so that the The whisky does not appear too abrupt. In short, we can choose a glass based on three things:Volume– Don’t skimp. It is generally best to choose a glass with a larger capacity.
– The capacity of the glass should be large enough to allow room for adding ice cubes. – A capacity of between 8 and 10 ounces is best, and a regular lowball glass will do the trick. – Based on the above recommendations, smaller Shot Glasses are not a natural choice. However, Shot Glasses can be useful for accurately judging the amount of spirits to be consumed in some cases, such as cocktails. – For wine, glasses of 16 ounces or larger are more widely available. Transparency– If possible, it is best to choose a clear glass.
– Since open-mouth glasses are often subject to splashing, it is wise to use a stopper. – Focus on the clarity of the liquid in the container itself, not the shiny, clear surface of the container. Shape– A wider bottom of the cup does not mean an inwardly curved rim at the opening of the cup.
– A tulip glass allows the aroma of the wine in the glass to be concentrated. – Tulip glasses pair well with port, sherry and rum. – Even for Belgian beers, use a small tulip glass.Warming reminder: Stay tuned to LuFuture.com app for the latest market updates.
