Why Drink Is Affected By The Shape of The Glass
Not many people fully understand why you can buy so many different shaped glasses in the shops these days. 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. Whisky is traditionally drunk out of a tumbler-shaped glass and there is good reason for this. Because whisky is often consumed ‘straight’ and not diluted with a mixer (although it can be), the volume of a serving is often quite small. 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 Glasses.If you have ever wondered why this often expensive drink is served in a tall and narrow glass, here is your answer. The sparkling nature of champagne means that it gives off a gas when the bubbles reach the surface and burst. 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 Glasses. 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.Additionally, more air-born aromas can be inhaled as the drinker’s nose is able to fit into the glass’ bowl. White wine glasses are generally smaller and thinner. This is because you want to keep the flavors quite compacted in the glass and absorb more of the aroma of white wine through the mouth rather than the nose.
