Every Drink Tastes Different When Consumed From a Different Glass
Not many people fully understand why you can buy so many different shaped glasses in the shops these days. Not many people think that a drink can’t be changed very much by what it is drunk from? Well actually they can, and here is a breakdown of some of the most common glass types and how they affect the drink.
Whisky Glasses. The reason that whisky is most often drunk from a wide tumbler is an interesting one. 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. What this means is that if it were served in a tall thin glass with ice, the ice would have to be stacked up and only a small amount would be in contact with the whisky. 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.Champagne is traditionally served in a tall, thin flute and there is an interesting reason as to why. The sparkling nature of champagne means that it gives off a gas when the bubbles reach the surface and burst. If the glass was wider then your nose would enter the glass when drinking and the gas would enter the sinuses, having a negative effect on the flavor.
Red and White Wine Glasses. You will find that red wine glasses tend to have a large, deep-bowled body. The wine can really be thrashed about in this shape of glass and this mixing effect not only enhances certain flavours but releases many more aromas into the glass.Further more, your nose can comfortably fit into the body of a wide glass, meaning you can breath in more of the wine’s aromatic offerings. 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.
