First of all, Kerry Washington's character Olivia Papa on the hit show Scandal is an amazing woman who knows how to do work. We were looking forward to the return of the third season, and the boy was a HOT return!
So why Olivia Dad always uses the biggest goblets! It all depends on the type of wine you enjoy. Ms. Papa should drink Bordeaux or even Burgundy or Merlot. Wines with high tannins, such as strong red wines, need big glasses that allow more air to come in contact with the wine. By allowing the wine to mix and blend with the air, the aromas will open, the flavor profile will soften and soften a bit, and the overall taste characteristics will improve. That is why some people prefer to “aerate” their reds. Aeration is designed to supply air or air supply. There are special tools that wine enthusiasts use for aeration, although my mother-in-law always says that you don't need these fancy tools for aeration! He suggests holding a bottle about 8-10 inches above the glass and a strong hand, slowly pouring the wine straight into the middle of the glass. This movement perfectly separates the wine and makes these cool little aeration bubbles. Exactly what you got from one of these fancy tools.
Conversely, the glasses that are best used for white wine have a narrower rim to protect the wine from contact with too much oxygen. The presence of openings for narrowing reduces the area of the open surface, while keeping the white wine cooled longer. ( Tip : White wines should be cooled before serving, and not frozen, but cooled. Red wine can also be slightly cooled, but best at room temperature - red wine is not very good at freezing cold). Another great tool, in addition to the ice cube, is the new wine chillers, which look like a long stick of ice that you put in your bottle of wine.
Some wine critics believe that the wine’s taste profile will change depending on what type of glass you use. I agree for the most part, it makes me cringe when I see someone drinking wine from a plastic cup! However, I think that if you drink from any glass, you will like your wine!
Greetings!
