Too fragile for dessert, too wide for brandy January 2, 2008
Lynn Hoffman, author:The New Short Course in Wine
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
Try this: assemble some tumblers of various heights, a brandy snifter, a dish-shaped champagne glass (called a coupe), a champagne flute, and a traditional stemmed wine glass. Measure identical amounts of wine, three ounces for example, and pour into each glass. Wait a minute or two and then sniff the bouquet from each glass. Does it seem more pronounced from any particular one?
If one of the glasses seems to nurture a more profound bouquet, wait a few minutes and repeat the experiment. This time, sniff the most productive glass after you have tried all the others. If it still promotes the bouquet more than the others, you can be sure that the shape is the difference. This experiment is one of several inNew Short Course in Wine,The
Now take a taste from each of the glasses. Was there a clear-cut winner? If there was, why wouldn't you use that glass for all the cold beverages that you drink? If you're a relentlessly scientific type, you might try this experiment with both a cheap wine and a more expensive one. You could continue on, sampling reds and whites, sweet wines and dry.
The results of my experiments with glasses suggest that champage coupes and brandy snifters are a waste of time. Both probably fair for the same reason, they're too big to contain the aroma of a drink.
Reach instead for the now common champagne flute and the smaller, tulip shaped spirits glass.
