The structure of the wine glass

The structure of the wine glass

Three main elements form the wine glass: the stem, the foot and the bowl. Other elements, less known to the general public, have their importance. This is what we will see below.

Let’s start with the main elements:

  • The stem, also known as the base, allows the glass to be balanced.

  • The foot connects the stem to the glass container. It is this element that allows you to hold your glass during tasting.

  • The bowl (also called chalice), represents the container and allows the drink to be poured inside.

Let’s move on to the next ones:

  • The gob is the lower part of the bowl, which acts on the oxygenation of the wine. It can take different shapes (round, straight, etc.).

  • The shoulder is the widest part of the bowl. It allows the development of the wine’s aromas.

  • The chimney, the upper part of the bowl and narrower than the rest, prevents the aromas from escaping.

  • Finally the rim of the bowl, where you put your lips, has an impact on the taste of the wine when tasting it.

It is all these elements, assembled together, that give the distinctive and recognizable shape of wine glasses.

Choosing your wine glass

During the tasting, 3 of our senses are activated: sight, smell and taste. And the wine glass plays a decisive role for each one. Some characteristics are particularly important to consider when choosing a glassware.


  1. The transparency influences the visual analysis. Indeed, it is important to see the colour, the robe of the wine to fully appreciate the tasting.

  2. The size and shape of the glass which influence the gustatory and olfactory analysis. For example, with the diameter of the container larger than that of the opening, the aromas (volatile molecules) of the wine spread and reach the taster’s nose. Be careful however not to have an opening that is too closed because the aromas will not be perceived.

  3. Be careful when choosing the glass because its thickness also plays a role in the tasting. For an optimal olfactory analysis, the rim must be as thin as possible. The finer it is, the more the taste will run through your mouth.

Do You Know About Fused Silica Domes?

图片
Fused silica  is a highly pure, synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide (SiO2) material that is made by melting high-purity silica sand. It is an extremely hard and chemically resistant material that is used in a variety of applications, including the production of laboratory equipment, optical fibers, and semiconductor wafers.   One common use of fused silica is in the production of  optical domes , which are transparent or translucent structures that are used to cover or enclose a space. Fused silica domes are often used in high-precision optical systems, such as telescopes, cameras, and laser systems, where they are used to protect delicate optical components from environmental contaminants and to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the environment. There are several advantages to using  fused silica domes  in optical systems. Firstly, the high purity and chemical resistance of fused silica make it an ideal material for use in high-precision optical system...

THE BEST USE OF LED VANITY MIRRORS

图片
The lighting capability of  LED Mirrors  is almost similar to natural lights. This mirror serves the dual purpose of making a place look beautiful and assistance in self-grooming to people. However, they are more acknowledged for decorating the place. They give a clear vision and are feasible to view yourself than any other form of lighting.

Maintaining Sterility with a Soft Wall Cleanroom: Design, Construction, and Best Practices

图片
A cleanroom is a controlled environment that is designed to maintain low levels of airborne particles, dust, and other contaminants. Cleanrooms are used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, and food processing, among others. One type of cleanroom is the soft wall cleanroom, which is known for its flexibility and ease of installation. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of a soft wall cleanroom and how you can find a reliable soft wall cleanroom manufacturer. A  soft wall cleanroom  is a modular cleanroom system that features flexible vinyl curtains instead of rigid walls. The curtains are made of high-quality vinyl that is resistant to bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. The curtains are suspended from a metal frame and are designed to create a barrier that separates the cleanroom from the surrounding environment. The soft wall cleanroom is ideal for applications that require a low level of contaminati...
