Qual é a taça de vinho ideal? Saiba como escolher!

Have you ever found yourself in front of a table wondering what the ideal glass of wine is? If so, know that you are not alone in this doubt!

In addition to the glass of the bowl and the shape of the bowl, the material itself makes a difference in the experience of tasting wine, and there are many options on the market, catering to all budgets. Of course, you do not need to have a set of each in your home, but it is worth knowing the main ones and forming a collection that meets the types of drink that are most consumed by your family and guests.

If you are a person who drinks wine by or any glass, that's fine. But know that the right glass is capable of making each wine even more special. This is because the shape of the piece reveals aromas and flavors that can go unnoticed in an inadequate glass. In addition, the contact that the drink has with the air varies according to the glass in which it is served - and more or less air is capable of completely transforming a wine.

The contact of the drink with the mouth is also important, and it increases or decreases according to the size of the glass. Finally, the material used in the production of the glass influences your experience. The finest crystal glasses are the most recommended, but those made of glass also do the job well. The important thing is that they are transparent, so that your eyes can also enjoy this moment of tasting.

And if you have heard that the glass crystal has lead in its composition, you are right, but you need not worry: for the material to be harmful to human health, it would be necessary for your wine to stay there for days before being consumed.

Bordeaux

These are glass with a large bowl, but they narrow at the end. This format is ideal for full-bodied red wines and rich in tannins, such as those produced with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Bordeaux glass have this more closed shape precisely to prevent the aromas from dispersing, keeping them more concentrated within the glass. In addition, this narrow edge causes the wine to be directed to the tip of the tongue. In this way, the fruity flavors of the drink are perceived before the tannins go to the back of the mouth.

Burgundy

The Burgundy glass, which is also ideal for more complex and concentrated red wines (such as those produced with the Pinot Noir grape and the Burgundy wines themselves), has a very large bowl, in the format called balloon.

With this rounded bowl and smaller stem, the oxygenation area of ​​the wine is increased, making it breathe faster. In addition to an incredible experience related to the aroma of wines, the shape of the glass directs the drink above the tip and the center of the tongue. As a result, the acidity decreases and the mature qualities of the wine are accentuated.

Flute

These are thin and long glasses, typical of white and sparkling wines. This smaller body allows the drink to be consumed at lower temperatures, as there will be less heat exchange with the environment - which is perfect for white wines, which are served fresher.

In addition, the narrower mouth makes the wine reach the palate with a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The longer stem prevents hand heat from coming into contact with the drink, also focusing on keeping the temperature lower.

ISO

If you are going to invest in just one set of glass, it is worth considering the ISO (or International Standards Organizations) model. As you can imagine, this is a model that is suitable for all types of wines, which behave very well in this model.

Of not exaggerated size, crystalline and with a mouth more closed than the bowl, the ISO glass is especially suitable for enhancing the aromas of your drinks.

Tulip

Imagine the tulip flower, with an oval base and narrow opening. Here is the shape of the glass that bears the same name. Many experts argue that this is the ideal format to house sparkling wines, as it allows us to observe the path of the bubbles, allows the drink to breathe and also concentrates the aromas, since it is possible to put your nose inside the bowl at the time of drinking.

Vintage

Until the 1960s, this was the official sparkling wine glass. Charming, it has a low body and a very wide opening.

Port wine

With a long stem and a small shape, the port glasses are ideal for tasting dessert wines, as they house the fortified drink (which does not need to be aerated), but which is consumed in a smaller amoun.
