Why Glass Size and Shape Influences The Taste of Various Alcoholic Drinks
You might wonder why there are so many different shapes and sizes of glasses on the market today. 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 actually they can, and here is a breakdown of some of the most common glass types and how they affect the drink.
Whisky Glasses. Whisky is traditionally drunk out of a tumbler-shaped glass and there is good reason for this. Whisky is often served in small amounts as it is frequently enjoyed straight, rather than being added to a mixer. 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.Champagne is traditionally served in a tall, thin flute and there is an interesting reason as to why. 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. 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. You will find that red wine glasses tend to have a large, deep-bowled body. 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. A more conservative and tubular glass is used for consuming white wine. 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.
