Definitions

the present invention relates to a glass for consuming and tasting drinks, in particular alcoholic drinks with or without carbon dioxide, for example, wine and beer.
alcoholic drinks with or without carbon dioxide
wine and beer In the case of wine, as is known, it is appropriate that consumption of such a drink is preceded by a mechanical treatment, rotating and/or oscillating the glass, to allow the liquid to absorb a certain quantity of air and as a result of oxygen.
This oxygen absorption enhances particular qualities of the wine such as its aromas and flavours.
This treatment, as well as the above-mentioned oxygenation, in some cases is also intended to reduce the level of carbon dioxide, whose presence, if at an excessive level, can cause unwanted and harmful effects in alcoholic drinks.
it increases the human body's capacity for absorption of alcoholic products, constituting an effective vehicle for alcohol .
the gas has properties which anaesthetise the taste buds and so cancel out the consumer's capacity for taste.
the above-mentioned treatment consists of predetermined pouring out techniques and, as indicated above, an operation for rotation and oscillation of the glasses during and after filling.
such techniques do not allow either oxygenation able to suitably enhance the aromas and flavours, or an appreciable reduction in the level of carbon dioxide.
carbon dioxide is spontaneously produced during fermentation. More carbon dioxide is then added artificially at the moment of bottling, to allow the product to be preserved for longer. Therefore, it is evident that in the case of beer, the need to reduce the level of carbon dioxide dissolved in the drink is even stronger and more predominant than with wine .
the aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing a glass with the characteristics described in the first claim herein.
Figures 1 to 3 and 5 to 9 are perspective front views of several embodiments of the glass made in accordance with the present invention
Figure 4 is a plan view of the glass illustrated in Figure 1
Figures 10 to 13 are enlarged perspective views of four alternative embodiments of a detail of the tankards illustrated in Figures 1 to 9.
the numeral 1 denotes generically a glass or tankard for consuming and tasting drinks such as wine and beer.
Figures 1 to 5 illustrate, respectively labelled 2, 3, 4 and 5, conical column glasses with a wide opening 6 in particular used for tasting beer
Figures 6 to 9 illustrate, respectively labelled 7, 8, 9 and 10, goblet-shaped glasses, that is to say having the shape of a spherical cup and with a stem 11 and a base 12.
the internal surface 13 of the glasses 1 has a plurality of raised ribs 14, evenly distributed and extending from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glasses 1.
said ribs 14 are substantially parallel with one another, whilst in the glasses 3 and 4 the ribs 14 extend from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glass 1 with a helical or spiral path, respectively clockwise and anti-clockwise.
the ribs 14 are distributed in a first and a second set with opposite helical or spiral paths .
the glass 7 in Figure 6 has, on the internal surface 13 of the respective cup, a plurality of ribs 14 extending radially from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6.
the ribs 14 extend from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glass 1 with a helical or spiral path, respectively anti-clockwise and clockwise.
the ribs 14 are distributed in a first and a second set with opposite helical or spiral paths .
the ribs 14 in cross-section have a rounded shape and differing thicknesses.
the ribs 14 in cross-section respectively have a sharp-edged triangular shape and a polygonal shape forming two sharp edges .
the size of the ribs 14 is between 0.5 and 3.5 mm.
the consumer is right- or left-handed, it may be a good idea to choose the appropriate glass 1 amongst those illustrated in Figures 2, 3, 7 and 8, or in Figures 5 and 9 for right- and left- handed people.
the consumer makes the glass 1 perform rotary movements so that the respective ribs 14 cause a turbulent movement with the aim of making a certain quantity of air and consequently oxygen absorbable in the liquid.
Said oxygen absorption enhances particular qualities of the wine, such as its aromas and flavours. Said oxygenation therefore allows the organoleptic attributes of the wine to be enhanced and partial elimination of the carbon dioxide contained in it, which also helps to enhance the perfumes.
