Examining the Differences In Taste From Various Drinking Glasses
A large number of people would be happy drinking every beverage they consume out of the same glass and not worry about the many different shapes and sizes available. To the uninitiated the variety may seem a little unnecessary, surely they can’t change the flavor of the liquid they hold can they? Well you might be interested to learn that they definitely can, and here is an explanation why.
Whisky Glasses. The reason that whisky is most often drunk from a wide tumbler is an interesting one. Although mixers are sometimes added to a whisky drink, it is still frequently enjoyed straight and therefore in smaller volumes. The result of this means that if whisky was served over ice in a narrow and tall glass, the area of the drink in contact with the ice would be quite small as the ice would be stacked up the glass. As ice is necessary to chill the whisky and release its deeper flavors, it’s best to serve the drink in a wide shallow glass where the ice can move around and have more contact area with the liquid, thus chilling the whisky more.
Champagne Flutes.If you have ever wondered why this often expensive drink is served in a tall and narrow glass, here is your answer. As champagne contains lots of little bubbles, it releases a constant flow of powerful gas into the glass as they float up and reach the surface. The sinuses are strongly effected by the gas and so the rim of the glass is kept narrow so that non of it enters the nose during the drinking process.
White and Red Wine Glassware. Red wine glasses are often large and bowl shaped. What this means is that you can swish as swirl the wine about in the glass, breaking up the flavours and releasing more of them into the body of the wine. Also a wide glass means your whole nose can easily fit within it, which is important for soaking up all the rich aromas. White wine glasses are generally smaller and thinner. The reason for this is that white wine tastes better when the flavours are condensed in the glass and the aromas not absorbed so much via the nasal passage.
