Why Glass Size and Shape Influences The Taste of Various Alcoholic Drinks
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? Interestingly they can, so lets take a look at some of the more common glass shapes and how they came to be this design.
Whisky Glasses. There is a very good reason why people consume whisky from large-diameter glasses rather than the tall thin variety. 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 bubbles in champagne contain quite a overpowering aroma that is forcefully released into the glass as the bubbles burst when the reach the surface. If the glass had a wide rim then your nose would be situated within the glass when drinking and the powerful gasses would effect flavour by numbing the sinuses.
White and Red Wine Glasses. The shape of a red wine glass is more often than not large and round. This allows the drink to be swirled around quite aggressively, liberating lots of hidden flavors that would otherwise not be released.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. Most people drink white wine out of a glass with smaller proportions and not so much of a bowl-shape. 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.
