[Explanation] On September 26, the first China (Ningxia) Wine Culture and Tourism Expo was held in Yinchuan, Ningxia. The exhibition area of this expo is 3000 square meters and there are 183 exhibiting companies. In addition to wine, many wine and wine utensils are also in this exhibition. Debut.
So what is the particularity of wine?
A reporter from China News Agency will take you to find out.

Look, this is a goblet, this is an ordinary glass, why choose this to drink wine?
The reason is very simple. Our wines are particularly sensitive to temperature, especially for dry white, sweet white or sparkling wines. They should be drunk after being iced, and their taste is the best.
If I use this to drink, my hands have temperature. For example, in the south, in summer, the temperature of my hands can be transferred to the wine, which will increase its temperature and destroy its taste. Finally, we drink It doesn't feel good to come out (and) with our meal.
[Explanation] Not only are there differences between wine glasses and ordinary water glasses, but in the high-end wine field, the wine glasses used between the two wines are also completely different. Some are "round and fat", and some are "tall and tall."

We have 2 cups here, which actually correspond to different (wine) varieties.
This is called the "Bordeaux Cup" and this is called the "Burgundy Cup".
In fact, they (they) correspond to two famous (wine) producing regions in France. The styles of the two wine producing regions are completely different. This ("Bordeaux glass") belongs to a complex dry red. Gendy Cup") is a dry red with a strong fruity aroma.
[Explanation] In fact, the wine glasses used for the same wine also have subtle differences, and these subtle differences will have a great impact on the taste of the wine.
[Concurrent] Zhu Yiping, a wine salesperson
You can see that there are two cups here that are both "Burgundy cups", but these two cups may produce different effects when drinking the same wine.
It is possible that this cup is sour (taste), and this cup is sweet (taste).
Why then?
Because different parts of our tongue feel different tastes, for example, the base of our tongue is more sensitive to acid.
It is because of our physiological characteristics that we will choose more refined () different cups when we choose different wine varieties.
[Explanation] In recent years, the development of China's wine industry has gradually matured. Take Ningxia's Helan Mountain Mountain wine region as an example. This region won 3 gold medals and 43 gold medals in the 28th Brussels International Wine Competition in Belgium. There are 34 silver medals, which have been widely recognized internationally.
And how to match good wine with a good glass is also the future development direction of wine utensils.
[Concurrent] Zhu Yiping, a wine salesperson
Next, we are also considering the possibility of designing a special wine glass for our China, especially the production area of the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia.
Of course, the time is still immature. There are two reasons for the immaturity: The first reason is that we feel that the characteristics of wine in this region of Ningxia are not clear enough.
Another (reason) is that we are also exploring how to find the right cup shape, so that the wine in our (Helan Mountain East) production area is more in line with the Chinese stomach.
So we believe that this is also the direction of our future efforts.
