Types of red wine glasses

There are three main types of red wine glasses: Bordeaux wine glasses, Burgundy wine glasses, and all-purpose wine glasses. The Bordeaux glass is relatively tall and the rim is narrower than the Burgundy glass to retain the aroma of Bordeaux red wine inside. The capacity ranges from 12 to 18 ounces.

These two cups named after grape producing regions can indeed be said to be tailored to suit different grape varieties in different regions. A Bordeaux cup is more suitable for tasting Bordeaux wine, whether it is the rich and thick Cabernet Sauvignon or the soft and low acidity Merlot, which can perform well. The Bourgeois cup is even better when tasting the high acidity Pinot Noi grape from the Bourgeois region. Because different parts of the tongue have different sensitivity to taste - the tip of the tongue is the most sensitive to sweetness, the back of the tongue is the most sensitive to bitterness, and the inside and outside of the tongue are respectively sensitive to acidity and saltiness. The design of the wine glass is based on this human structure, and the difference in the order in which the wine wraps around the tongue can balance the sweetness of fruits and the acidity of tannins, making the taste smoother. And whether it's the Bordeaux Cup or the Brandy Cup, there are several detailed classifications that are interesting
