Well what a house without guests, family dinners and feasts? It is therefore very useful to know some of the nuances and subtleties "bokalovedeniya." And also expect to be able to drink and to cook them.
How to choose glasses at the table
Correctly choose glasses at the table - An art. Believe me, the wine does not have to be the most expensive to have a good flavor and aroma. Choosing the right cookware will enable it to open up bouquets - taste and aroma. And vice versa, Wine bouquet fade when the glass of the beverage will not suitable, even if the wine is elite.
Here are some guidelines for choosing the glasses give the experts:
1 Wine glasses You must be crystal. Firstly, they are nice ring. Second, the surface of the crystal, unlike glass, rough - if you rotate the crystal glass wine aroma "disperse" and will play a variety of shades.
2 Wine glasses must be voluminous, but it is a little zauzhatsya to the neck - a form does not allow the aromatic molecules escape in vain, Wine bouquet It revealed in full force.
3 Where is your favorite drink - a martini, the wider the throat of the glass, the better.
4 What is better to drink champagne? Once it savored of the broad flattened glasses, but it's not quite right - in such a glass of champagne quickly deteriorates, loses its sharpness taste. Narrow bokaly- "flute" in the form of tubes also do not fit - their shape reduces the "striking power" of champagne bubbles.
Ideal pouring champagne in glasses, elongated triangular shape, slightly wider at the neck. The triangular glasses of champagne all the components are distributed exactly as you need to fully enjoy the taste of fizzy drink.
5 In different corners of the mouth are located different taste buds. The sweet taste is best felt on the tip of the tongue, sour - its lateral walls. Proper cookware allows for it all. So, for the sweet wines should choose tulip glasses with "protruding lip" - a little traveling outside the neck. For dry whites - smaller in size and with a narrow "neck", which helps to soften the acidity in the wine available.
6 The speed with which the wine leaves the vessel, is also important. For this reason, better to drink brandy from the "chubby" glasses. Unlike conventional they should be a little longer bring to the mouth - for those extra moments beverage can "open", and its flavor is felt much stronger.
How to count drinks for guests
If you do not know how to calculate the drinks for guests Help simple rules. The basic principle - the distribution of drinks per person.
So, in the first hour feast each has two servings of beverage. Then by one. Slightly less than half of all beverages must be purchased alcoholic quarter - champagne, and only a tenth of - liquor.
By the Numbers: 10 people - 25 bottles of beer, 2 champagne, 2 wines, spirits 1
25 people - 60 bottles of beer, 5 champagne, wine 5, 3 spirits
40 people - 100 bottles of beer, champagne 8, 8 wines, 5 spirits
100 people - 240 bottles of beer, 15 champagne, 15 wines, 10 spirits.
But among families especially in the evening for one person would be enough glasses of champagne and two glasses of wine.
