Size
& Shape
|
| |
Believe it or not, the flavour of a wine changes when you drink it
out of different types of glasses. |
| |
The shape is responsible
for the flow of the wine and consequently where it touches the various
taste zones of the tongue. The initial contact point depends on the
shape and volume of the glass, the diameter of the rim, and its finish
(whether it is cut and polished or rolled edge) as well as the thickness
of the crystal. |

wine.
