其實 用平底杯也沒什麼， 只是 你會辜負了一杯葡萄酒的美好。

 

 

• Why use a wine glass with a stem? -

It's not just about aesthetics; when it comes to enjoying wine, there's a significant emphasis on the concept of "savoring." To truly appreciate the original flavors, it's essential to maintain a certain temperature. The purpose of a stemmed glass is to create separation between the warmth of the drinker's hand and the bowl of the glass, preventing any impact on the temperature of the red wine. This design also helps preserve the wine's aromas more effectively.

• Are there differences in the types of stemmed glasses and their uses? -

Stemmed glasses can be further categorized into red wine glasses, white wine glasses, champagne flutes, and more.

Different types of wines correspond to different types of stemmed glasses. Using the right glass enhances the drinking experience, not only by elevating the wine's aromas and showcasing sophistication but also by making the wine taste even better.

Stemmed glasses can be divided into regular glassware and crystal glassware.

Crystal glassware is thinner and more delicate compared to regular glassware, and it is also more resistant to impacts.

• The tallest among all red wine glasses, yet with a much smaller bowl compared to some others.

C. ISO Tasting Glass

The International Standards Organization (ISO) wine glass, also known as the ISO tasting glass, is a globally recognized standard design for wine tasting.

Its rounded bowl and narrower body allow for easy swirling of the wine without spillage.

The slightly tapered rim helps accentuate the wine's alluring aromas, enhancing the tasting experience.

d. White Wine Glass

White wines are typically served in smaller bowl stemmed glasses.

Such wine glasses serve the following purposes:

1. Preserving Floral and Fruity Aromas
2. Maintaining a Cooler Temperature of the Wine
3. Accentuating the Wine's Acidity
4. Releasing More Aromas as the glass nears the nose (even at lower temperatures)
