Tasting a drink or beverage not only involves the tongue but also other senses such as smell and sight. Beverage tasting such as wine tasting is considered a plush affair and so must be carried out with poise. The vessel used during the tasting to some extent influences the end result of the tasting session.
Tasting Vessel, such a vessel normally has sense enhancing features such as:
A rim
The rim is uniquely designed for aerating the beverage and easy sipping.
A rib system
The rib system is designed at the bottom platform portion to facilitate the proper mixing of the beverage so that the smell of the beverage is released while in the vessel.
Odorless material
In order to get the exact smell and taste of the beverage, the vessel should be odorless so that the original smell and taste is untampered.
