Description

VERRE A DEGUSTATION POUR ALCOOLS TELS QUE LES EAUX DE VIE, LES SPIRITUEUX ET LES LIQUEURS. TASTING GLASS FOR ALCOHOLS SUCH AS SPIRITS AND LIQUORS.
La présente invention a pour objet un verre à dégustation pour alcools tels que les eaux de vie, les spiritueux et les liqueurs.The present invention relates to a tasting glass for alcohols such as brandies, spirits and liqueurs.
La dégustation consiste à apprécier les valeurs olfactives et gustatives d'un alcool , ou autres boissons alcool isées.Tasting consists in appreciating the olfactory and gustatory values of an alcohol, or other alcoholic beverages.
On connaît déjà différents types de verre à dégustation, ils comportent généralement un pied surmonté d'une jambe qui supporte la paraison qui comprend une première partie s'évasant vers le haut, puis une seconde partie se rétrécissant jusqu'au bord supérieur appelé buvant.We already know different types of tasting glass, they generally include a foot surmounted by a leg which supports the parison which comprises a first part flaring upwards, then a second part narrowing to the upper edge called drinking.
C'est le cas des verres décrits dans les documents FR-A-2.648.340 et FR-A-? .684.534, qui sont toutefois plus particulièrement destinés à la dégustation de vins. D'autre part, ces verres sont conçus de manière que le dégustateur puisse accélérer mécaniquement 1 'evaporation du produit à déguster, en appliquant au ver re un mouvement de gi ration, ce qui dans le cas d'un alcool présente un inconvénient pour l'appréciation olfactive, puisqu'une agitation favorise le dégagement, d'esters qui "brûlent" le nez lorsque le produit est, humé.Is this the case of the glasses described in documents FR-A-2,648,340 and FR-A-? .684.534, which are more particularly intended for wine tasting. On the other hand, these glasses are designed so that the taster can mechanically accelerate the evaporation of the product to be tasted, by applying to the glass a movement of gi ration, which in the case of an alcohol has a disadvantage for the olfactory appreciation, since agitation promotes the release of esters which "burn" the nose when the product is inhaled.
On connaît également par le document BE-A-428 043 un verre présentant inférieurement une partie légèrement évasée en tronc de cône surmontée d'une partie, appelée saillant, s'évasant fortement puis allant en rétrécissant jusqu'au buvant, le diamètre interne de ce dernier étant supérieur à celui externe le plus grand de ladite partie en tronc de cône.Document BE-A-428 043 also discloses a glass having a slightly flared portion in the form of a truncated cone surmounted by a portion, called a protruding part, which widens sharply and then tapers to the rim, the internal diameter of the latter being greater than the largest external of said frusto-conical part.
Les caractéristiques de ce verre ont pour but un empilage aisé, mais ne permettent pas la dégustation du fait du faible volume du saillant qui ne peut pas être assimilé à une paraison.The characteristics of this glass are intended for easy stacking, but do not allow tasting due to the small volume of the salient which cannot be compared to a parison.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un verre à dégustation pour alcools, permettant une totale appréciation olfactive.The present invention aims to provide a tasting glass for alcohols, allowing total olfactory appreciation.
Le verre à dégustation objet de la présente invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comprend de bas en haut un réservoir s'évasant doucement, sur le bord supérieur duquel naît la paraison qui comprend deux parties, une première partie de petite hauteur s'évasant plus fortement, prolongée d'une seconde partie de grande hauteur allant en rétrécissant progressivement jusqu'au buvant dont l'ouverture délimite une surface au moins égale à celle délimitée par le bord supérieur dudit réservoir, lequel bord constitue la limite de remplissage consei 1lée.The tasting glass which is the subject of the present invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises from bottom to top a reservoir which gently flares out, on the upper edge of which the parison is born which comprises two parts, a first part of small height flaring more strongly, prolonged by a second part of great height going progressively narrowing up to the drink whose opening delimits an area at least equal to that delimited by the upper edge of said tank, which edge constitutes the recommended filling limit .
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du dispositif selon l'invention, le rapport des surfaces est compris entre 1 et 3,5.According to an additional characteristic of the device according to the invention, the surface area ratio is between 1 and 3.5.
Selon une variante du verre selon l'invention, la partie supérieure de la paraison comporte sur tout son pourtour, au niveau du buvant, un rebord rentrant de forme concave. Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du verre selon l'invention, celui-ci est réalisé en cristal ou cristallin soufflé bouche, en verre ou tout autre matériau de nature cristalline.According to a variant of the glass according to the invention, the upper part of the parison has around its entire periphery, at the level of the rim, a recessed rim of concave shape. According to another additional characteristic of the glass according to the invention, it is made of crystal or crystalline mouth blown, glass or any other material of a crystalline nature.
Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du verre selon l'invention, celui-ci comporte un pied surmonté d'une jambe supportant le réservoir.According to another additional characteristic of the glass according to the invention, it comprises a foot surmounted by a leg supporting the reservoir.
Lors du remplissage le liquide est versé directement dans le réservoir, le niveau maximum conseillé, pour une exhalaison maximum des arômes, sans agitation circulaire, se situe au plein du réservoir, la surface du liquide étant alors inférieure ou au maximum égale à la surface délimitée par l'ouverture du buvant.When filling the liquid is poured directly into the tank, the maximum recommended level, for maximum exhalation of aromas, without circular agitation, is located in the full tank, the surface of the liquid then being less than or maximum equal to the defined area through the opening of the drink.
Les caractéristiques du verre selon l'invention permettent de maîtriser les émanations des esters par la surface d'evaporation du liquide alcoolisé qui remplit le réservoir. Au cours du humage, les molécules aromatiques, qui emplissent le volume constitué par la paraison, libèrent leurs substances originelles à l'arrivée de l'air extérieur.The characteristics of the glass according to the invention make it possible to control the emanations of the esters by the evaporation surface of the alcoholic liquid which fills the reservoir. During the humage, the aromatic molecules, which fill the volume formed by the parison, release their original substances when the outside air arrives.
Le verre objet de la présente invention permet une exhalaison complète des arômes primaires, secondaires et tertiaires du liquide à déguster, avec la restriction des émanations agressives de l'alcool supportant les molécules organoleptiques et les substances volatiles.The glass object of the present invention allows a complete exhalation of the primary, secondary and tertiary aromas of the liquid to be tasted, with the restriction of the aggressive emanations of the alcohol supporting the organoleptic molecules and the volatile substances.
Enfin, le dégustateur peut apprécier la valeur gustative du liquide en portant le verre à ses lèvres de manière traditionnelle, ou bien, de préférence, en aspirant en bouche ledit liquide au moyen d'un chalumeau de faible diamètre plongé dans le réservoir, ceci afin de préserver la dégustation olfactive précitée.Finally, the taster can appreciate the taste value of the liquid by bringing the glass to his lips in the traditional way, or, preferably, by sucking the said liquid in the mouth using a small diameter torch immersed in the tank, this in order to to preserve the aforementioned olfactory tasting.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente plusieurs modes de réalisation nonThe advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents several embodiments thereof which are not
1 imitatifs.1 imitations.
Dans le dessin annexé: - la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe selon un plan vertical médian d'un premier mode de réalisation du verre à dégustation selon l'invention.In the accompanying drawing: - Figure 1 shows a sectional view along a median vertical plane of a first embodiment of the tasting glass according to the invention.
- la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe selon un plan vertical médian d'une variante du même verre . - la figure 3 représente une vue en élévation d'un second mode de réalisation du verre à dégustation selon 1 ' invention.- Figure 2 shows a sectional view along a median vertical plane of a variant of the same glass. - Figure 3 shows an elevational view of a second embodiment of the tasting glass 1 according to the invention.
- les figures 4 et 5 représentent des variantes de ce même verre à dégustation. Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir que selon un premier mode de réalisation, un verre à dégustation selon l'invention comporte du bas vers le haut, un réservoir 1 s'évasant doucement jusqu'à son bord supérieur 10 ou naît la paraison 2 qui comporte deux parties, une première partie 20 de petite hauteur et de largeur fortement croissante, et une deuxième partie 21 de grande hauteur et de largeur décroissant progressivement jusqu'au buvant 22.- Figures 4 and 5 show variants of the same tasting glass. If we refer to Figure 1 we can see that according to a first embodiment, a tasting glass according to the invention comprises from the bottom up, a tank 1 gently flaring to its upper edge 10 or born the parison 2 which comprises two parts, a first part 20 of small height and of greatly increasing width, and a second part 21 of great height and width gradually decreasing until drinking 22.
La surface délimitée par le buvant 22 est supérieure à la surface délimitée par le bord supérieur 10 du réservoir 1, qui constitue la limite de remplissage, laquelle peut être matérialisée par un repère.The surface delimited by the rim 22 is greater than the surface delimited by the upper edge 10 of the reservoir 1, which constitutes the filling limit, which can be indicated by a mark.
Les arômes et des molécules lourdes du liquide à déguster stagnent dans la partie 20 de la paraison, et elles libèrent leurs substances originelles dans la partie 21 au contact de l'air qui y pénètre par le buvant 22 lors du humage.The aromas and heavy molecules of the liquid to be tasted stagnate in part 20 of the parison, and they release their original substances in part 21 in contact with the air which enters there through the drink 22 during the inhalation.
On notera que le verre comporte inférieurement sous le réservoir 1 une partie pleine 3 d'une certaine hauteur, permettant la préhension. Le verre représenté est plus particulièrement destiné à la dégustation d'alcools du type whisky.It will be noted that the glass comprises below under the tank 1 a solid part 3 of a certain height, allowing gripping. The glass shown is more particularly intended for tasting whiskey type alcohols.
Le rapport des surfaces peut aller jusqu'à 3,5 ce qui permet, pour ceux qui le désirent, de diluer le liquide alcoolisé au moyen d'un liquide neutre, de l'eau par exemple, de manière que le mélange emplisse le réservoir et une partie de la partie 20, en sorte que la diminution des densités alcoolique et aromatique soient compensées par une augmentation de la surface d'evaporation, laquelle doit rester inférieure à la surface délimitée par le buvant 22.The ratio of the surfaces can go up to 3.5 which allows, for those who wish it, to dilute the alcoholic liquid by means of a neutral liquid, water for example, so that the mixture fills the tank and part of the part 20, so that the reduction in the alcoholic and aromatic densities is compensated by an increase in the evaporation surface, which must remain less than the surface delimited by the drink 22.
Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 2 on peut voir que la partie supérieure de la paraison 2, au niveau du buvant 22, comporte un rebord rentrant 23 de forme concave, qui rétrécit l'ouverture du buvant 22.Referring now to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the upper part of the parison 2, at the level of the lip 22, has a concave rim 23 of concave shape, which narrows the opening of the lip 22.
Cette variante permet de déguster un whisky, refroidi au moyen d'un ou plusieurs glaçons, en effet, le refroidissement du liquide alcoolisé diminue les émanations, le rétrécissement du buvant permet ainsi, tout en conservant le rapport entre l'ouverture du buvant 22 et la surface à l'air du liquide, d'augmenter la rétention des émanations.This variant makes it possible to taste a whiskey, cooled by means of one or more ice cubes, in fact, the cooling of the alcoholic liquid decreases the fumes, the narrowing of the drink thus allows, while preserving the ratio between the opening of the drink 22 and the air surface of the liquid, to increase the retention of the fumes.
On notera qu'avantageusement le rebord 23 permet de retenir le ou les glaçons, ou les éventuels dépôts, lorsque le verre est porté à la bouche. Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 3 on peut voir que selon un second mode de réalisation, le verre à dégustation selon l'invention comporte un pied 4 et une jambe 40, et que la partie 21 de la paraison 2 est de forme courbe.It will be noted that advantageously the rim 23 makes it possible to retain the ice cube (s), or any deposits, when the glass is brought to the mouth. If we now refer to Figure 3 we can see that according to a second embodiment, the tasting glass according to the invention comprises a foot 4 and a leg 40, and that the part 21 of the parison 2 is of curved shape .
Si on se réfère aux figures 3 et 4 on peut voir deux variantes du verre à dégustation selon l'invention, qui montrent que la forme et le volume du réservoir 1 d'une part, et de la paraison 2 d'autre part, n'ont pas d'incidences sur l'exhalaison des arômes, pourvu que soit respecté le rapport entre l'ouverture du buvant 22 et la surface à l'air du liquide. If we refer to Figures 3 and 4 we can see two variants of the tasting glass according to the invention, which show that the shape and volume of the tank 1 on the one hand, and of the parison 2 on the other hand, n 'have no effect on the exhalation of aromas, provided that the ratio between the opening of the drink 22 and the surface to the air of the liquid is respected.
