Contra más largo y delgado sea su pie, más fácil nos resultará cogerla sin necesidad de tocar el cuerpo de la copa. Y es que cogiéndola por el cáliz, la copa se mancha, el vino se calienta, dejamos de apreciar su perfume natural y también todo su sabor. Es una cuestión de coger la costumbre, de iniciar buenos hábitos. Parece una exageración, pero no lo es.
Es un pequeño ritual que vale la pena probar y consolidar.
How to take (perfectly) a glass of wine?
It may seems exaggerate. Maybe even meaningless. However, to appreciate the color, the smell and the taste of any wine, the glass is essential. The glass, and the way we take it. That will have to be sufficiently wide, with a deep funnel mouth not to lean back our head. On the contrary, if we bend down our head, the wine will be distributed along both sides of the paladate and the tongue, not only though the bottom of our paladate and the tip of our tongue. Just then we will appreciate the wine itself. Also, of course, taking the glass by its base.
