Different opinions on the ideal
cognac glass are as old as the drink itself. Even
today, cognac is mainly served in wide tulip-shaped
glasses - in spite of the disadvantages which this
traditional shape has for the enjoyment of
cognac.
The differences in color, aroma
and taste are the features by which the quality of a
cognac is judged. The finely tuned shape of this glass
harmonises the aroma and the taste, tempering the
alcohol and the stringency of the palate and
emphasizing the bouquet. The flute-shaped glass allows
its contents a very small evaporation surface. You
will be surprised to detect no pungent fumes but
delicately balanced aromas reminiscent of a summer
meadow.
