How It Came To Be Than Wine Is Drunk From A Glass
Wine is one of those drinks that it universal. It is drunk in nearly every country in the world and invariably it is from a glass. Have you ever asked yourself though, why from a glass? Why not from a plastic cup, mug or wooden goblet? The answer is unfortunately not that simple. Actually, wine is enjoyed from a number of different containers, other than glass, in many different places. For example in Japan, wine is drunk from a ceramic vase-shaped container and in Thailand, wooden cups are often used. However, the overriding choice of tableware drinking vessel, wherever you go, is glass. It turns out that this is due more to the unsuitability of other materials that the excellence of glass, so let take a look at the other options.
Wood. As mentioned previously, wine is drunk from wooden cups in some places but it does have some major flaws. The first problem is staining, which is a common issue if your drinking red wine from your wooden cup. Discolouring will even happen with hardwoods. Secondly, there is the issue of rotting, which frequency happens when wood gets wet for a long time. So after each use, time would have to be spent drying it out and removing any moisture.
Metal. If you’ve ever used a metal vessel to consume wine from, you’ll understand how the flavour is not quite right. something called ‘displacement’ takes place with lots of wines as a result of the high ion count in most metals. This essentially means that often a number of the metal’s ions displace into the wine and this causes an alteration in the flavour. This is why you often pick up metallic notes when drink from this type of cup. Also, because of its very heat-conductive qualities, almost any other material would keep the wine cooler when you’re holding it
Ceramic. Like glass, ceramic is non porous, does not release any of its qualities into the wine, and can be easily cleaned with a glass cloth. For these reasons it utilised an an alternative, however it will never be as popular as glass due to one elemental floor – you can’t see through it. Part of the joy of drinking a nice wine is swirling it around the glass examining its colours and textures. The desire is a very instinctive one and something that has been around since the development of glass.
