Many experts believe that wine should be consumed appropriate for a certain kind of glasses.

More than 50 years ago Professor Claus Josef Riedel discovered that the shape of the glass can influence the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines. Drinking wine of the same class but from different glasses is markedly different in all respects. So highly was the distinction that even the best experts, tasting the wine blind said that trying a completely different wine. Professor Riedel decided to explore this fact more deeply. According to the study, he concluded that the shape of the glass influences the bouquet and taste of wine. There are several explanations for this phenomenon.

Biological explanation

Receptors responsible for the perception of sweetness are on the tip of our tongue. Receptors bitter back of the throat, the acid can be felt lateral sides of the tongue, and the taste of saltiness is recognized as a Central part. Thus, depending on the shape of the glass, the drink is forwarded so that more or less brighter taste it. In the use of broad and open glasses we cant head down. And if the glass is narrower towards the top – your head leans back. Consequently, the first breath determines the taste of wine. Also, the sensations depend on the glass diameter, thickness, processing.

Chemical explanation

Aromatic compounds (phenols) affect the taste of the wine, and the shape of the glass affects the amount of phenols. For example, if the glass is wide, the area of contact of the phenols with oxygen more and it gives the drink a dry taste.

Finding out how the shape of glasses can affect the taste of wine, the Professor has decided to create various shapes of glasses. So, in 1961, went on sale in the first glasses of wine. Since then, the invention of glasses is conducted with the participation of professional tasters. The creation has acquired a scientific basis. The design is kept to a minimalist – no decorations, thin wall. Form acquired a simple, sophisticated look – the bowl, stem and base.

Series of glasses for wine SOMMELIERS, was released in 1973. And was instantly recognized around the world. The series consisted of 10 different types of glasses. The development was carried out with the participation of internationally renowned tasters.

In 1986 was created the first line of VINUM. A technique of creating this collection was made by machine blowing. Thanks to the excellent ratio of price and quality it quickly engulfed a large audience of wine lovers and has become popular all over the world.

Interestingly, many newcomers may be afraid of the volume of glasses. In fact, it is important to know that the volume does not affect the amount of wine in the glass – it should never get crowded.

The rules governing the amounts of alcoholic beverages in the glass

The average weight of the berries – 2-4 oz. The average weight of the bunch is 150-200 g., refers to low-yielding. The size of bunches small or medium. In form, they can be cylindrical or cylindrical-conical, dense or loose – depends on pollination and growing conditions. The color of the berries greenish-yellow, the sun a pale Golden tan. The shape and size of the berries are round, small or medium. The skin is thin. The taste is juicy and simple with a little flavor. Height – medium, strong and growing. Sheet average, rounded, reticulate-wrinkled, slightly leathery, the edges are bent towards the bottom.

 

What would a wine “sparkle” needed a large amount. This affects the flavor of wine, then revealed a bouquet in contact with air. Red wines require large glasses, white wines perfectly feel in the glass medium volume. Richer in taste and notes of aromas of wine from the New world require large amounts. Even a beginner can feel the difference of how open wine in the correct glass.

Remember two main rules:

It is better to buy expensive, but quality and the “right” glasses

A glass of wine should not cost less than the average cost of wine which you poured into it.

Today, the stores offers a huge selection of wine vessels. But it is not necessary to buy all the glasses in a row. Even if you’ll drink wine from the not intended for this sort of glasses, perception can slightly change, but not deteriorate. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon can be more acidic and tart, if you drink it from a glass of Shiraz, and the Shiraz on the contrary will seem a little easier if you drink it from a glass for Cabernet Sauvignon.

I would like to mention that beautiful and “right” glasses, not only affect the taste and aroma of wines, but also give a kind of aristocracy and elegance and create a pleasant atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy wine to the fullest.
