In fact, the shape of the earliest crystal wine glasses was not so exquisite, but a lot of work was done elsewhere. The cups were all carved intricately, and the European classic palace style grandeur. The common Czech crystal wine glasses on the market are mostly of this kind of craft. However, after several refractions by the edges and corners of the wine glass, the color of the wine itself is no longer beautiful. Nowadays, wine glasses and decanters are simple and streamlined, and the walls are thin and light.
In addition to crystals, cheaper glass textures have also appeared.
The aroma and taste of crystal cups and glass cups will be slightly different. The main reason is that the surface roughness of the two is different. It can be observed through a microscope that the surface of the crystal has more irregularities than the glass, and the glass is more hanging. When it is used to hold champagne, the bubble performance will be better. At the same time, the small bumps on the wall of the glass can retain these bubbles for a longer time. This is the soul of champagne. The echo of “buzz—buzz—” when clinking glasses is absolutely pleasant, and according to people who have been fortunate enough to have witnessed the drop of crystal cups, the sound is incomparable to glass—so, in addition to using eyes and mouth, wine You can even use your ears to appreciate it.
Besides, the difference between handwork and mechanism is mainly the psychological feeling-the feeling of holding a handmade crystal wine glass and a glass taken from the assembly line will of course be different, and the price of the handmade glass is definitely a luxury. . Therefore, it is especially important to note that when washing the wine glass, you must hold the body of the glass, not to pinch the foot of the glass, otherwise the valuable crystal glass will easily be completely finished with a slight turn.
No matter how noble wine glasses are, they still have to wait for the wine selection with humility.
