Wines, cocktails, beer or even plain water. .. Their taste is differently felt when used from a glass, a glass or a glass. And thus, very few people know that in what glasses it is necessary to submit. But it depends not only on the sense of taste, color and aroma of the drink, but also on its aesthetic perception.
A variety of alcoholic and soft drinks require at the filing to have such a huge number of different glassware suitable for a particular type of serving of a table or dishes that it would be necessary to have a separate room for their storage. However, a couple of varieties of glasses are in every house, and it would be worth to know about what they serve and in which it is desirable to serve these or those drinks.
The basic set of glasses
Of all the variety of glass containers for drinks, it's easiest to make a basic kit. Perhaps, it is necessary to supplement it with several special varieties, which we like most or most often use.
The most frequently used glassware is:
- Glasses or beakers for beer.
- Glasses for vodka.
- Glasses for whiskey.
- Glasses for alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.
Types of glasses and their use
Glasses for champagne should have a high bowl, so that the wine is well foamed and does not run out too quickly. Champagne is also served in wide cups of conical shape, but from these unique bubbles disappear catastrophically rapidly.
Brandy glasses have probably the most famous form - they are wide at the base and gradually tapering upward. Alcohol, which we hold in the hand in a cognac glass, slowly warms up and gently exudes the aroma, which rises upward and seems to concentrate at the edge.
Glasses for liquor are small in size due to the specificity of the drink, which is not used in large quantities. Most often, they have a conical shape, slightly widening upward.
Glasses for vodka. A huge number of a variety of products that do not adhere to any rules in the formation of their diversity. Most often they are small, conical and cylindrical, with or without a stem.
water glasses are rarely used, but this does not mean that they should not be in the home arsenal. They stand on a high leg and have a large bowl. Usually these are the biggest glasses in your set.
Glasses for wine - already almost extravagance. However, many winemakers will not agree with us. The deification of this drink led to the fact that for the wine was created a huge number of a variety of glasses, a form of pursuing different goals. In some cases, the most important is the exposition of the stuffed beverage, others are made specifically for the purpose that the wine can breathe before consumption, which will necessarily affect its taste for the better.
The variety of glassware is so huge that the way it is used now depends more on the imagination of the server.
