合适的酒杯！？

A Proper Glass!?

想象一下，当你和朋友们一边喝着葡萄酒，一边向他们解释你是如何达成了一笔数十亿美元的商业交易，或怎样遇到了你一生的挚爱，或在一场足球比赛中如何打进了致胜的一球时。然后有人开口打断了你的说话。

Imagine enjoying wine with friends while explaining how you just negotiated a billion-dollar business deal or met the love of your life or scored the winning goal in a football match. Then someone interrupts.

“你拿酒杯的姿势不对，” 打断你说话的人说。“你应该拿住酒杯的杯梗，而不是握住它的杯身，这样酒就不会变热。而且，这不是一个合适的用来喝酒的杯子。”

“You are holding your glass wrong,” says the interloper. “You should hold it by the stem, not the bulb, so the wine doesn’t get warm. Also, that’s not a proper glass.”

没有什么比礼仪怪才们给你的建议更让人恼火了。他们似乎总是准备好了，根据上过的一些入门课程，就如何正确行事说出了一些建议。

Few things annoy more than unwanted advice from etiquette freaks, who always seem ready to pop from the shadows with wisdom about the proper way to do things, based on some entry-level wine course they took.

划重点

那杯子的大小和形状会影响葡萄酒吗？

Now, do glass size and shape affect wine?

会的。

Yes.

将同样的葡萄酒倒入一个大酒杯，一个小酒杯，一个高的果汁杯，一个矮的，一个塑料杯...... 大多数人会发现每个杯子对香味的影响不同。

Pour the same wine into a big wine glass, a small one, a tall juice glass, a short one, a plastic cup, and so on, and most people will find each vessel affects the aroma differently.

酒杯 Wine Glasses

但是为特定的人找到对的酒杯有点像如何找到合适的酒。

But finding the proper glass for a given person is a bit like finding the proper wine.

与葡萄酒和它各种各样的葡萄品种、风格和品牌一样，酒杯也有很多选择，从价格便宜的商超品牌到一流的酒杯生产商，比如Schott Zwiesel、Grassl、Zalto和Eisch。

As with wine, and its universes of grape varieties and styles and brands, there are many glass choices, from clunky cheap supermarket brands to top-notch producers like Schott Zwiesel, Grassl, Zalto and Eisch.

最著名的或许要数奥地利葡萄酒生产商力多 (Riedel)，它有数百种选择，包括一种只配西拉葡萄酒的酒杯，以及一种只配旧世界西拉葡萄酒的酒杯。

Perhaps the most famous is Austrian producer Riedel, which has hundreds of options, including a glass just for Syrah--and one just for Old World Syrah.

力多也有一种专门为唐培里侬香槟王的香槟杯。

Riedel also has a glass specifically designed for Dom Perignon Champagne.

找寻喜欢的

不过喜欢探索你可以自行尝试，找到适合的酒杯。每次你在餐厅、酒吧或CHEERS小齐家的门店品尝葡萄酒时，都可以测试杯子的重量、大小、外观和性能，直到你找到你喜欢的品牌。然后可以买一些放在家里以便今后使用。

You can do your own research to find the glasses that fit. Every time you enjoy wine at a restaurant, bar or CHEERS shop, test out the glasses for heft, size, appearance and performance until you find a brand you like. Then get some.

最近，小编在家用的是作为礼物收到的一套双支小团圆酒杯。它们重量和尺寸都不错(450ml) ，也非常耐用！

Lately, I’ve been using a pair of Xiao Tuan Yuan 小团圆 glasses at home that I received as a gift. They have a nice weight and size (450 ml) and are very durable!

但如果在笔记本上不断地打字，小编会改用无脚杯或果汁杯：毕竟这样不小心把雷司令撞洒到键盘上的几率要小很多。

And if typing away on a laptop, I switch to a stemless wine glasses or juice tumbler: there is far less chance of accidentally knocking that Riesling onto the keyboard.

对某些人来说，这可能不是一个 “合适的” 酒杯，但对小编来说是有用的。

Those might not be a “proper” glass to some people but it works for me.

事实上，小编与葡萄酒的一些美好回忆都没有那么正式的礼仪，包括在公园里用纸杯分享最喜欢的葡萄酒，在酿酒师的酒窖里用笨重的玻璃杯品尝酒桶样品，以及在中国的长城边直接畅饮一瓶葡萄酒。拥有一个合适的时间、快乐的时光比恰当的礼仪更重要。

In fact, some of my best memories involve using paper cups to share a favorite wine in a park, tasting barrel samples from clunky glasses in a winemaker’s cellar, and guzzling straight from the bottle at the Great Wall of China. Having a proper time is more important than proper etiquette.

所以在解释你的数十亿美元交易时，请随意拿着你选择的任何酒杯。

So feel free to hold the bulb of any glass you choose while explaining your billion-dollar deal.
