Abstract
A glass for consuming and tasting drinks, such as beer, has a plurality of raised ribs (14) inside it, extending from the bottom (15) to the opening (6) of the glass (1) and evenly distributed radially or with a helical or spiral path; a glass (1) having such ribs (14), if held at an angle of substantially 45° during filling and rotated during and after filling, allows the drink to be subjected to a whirling movement, resulting in the partial elimination of carbon dioxide and enhancement of the organoleptic attributes of the beer.
Claims12
A glass for consuming and tasting drinks, characterised in that the glass (1) has at least one raised rib (14) inside it.
The glass according to any of the foregoing claims from 1 to 6, characterised in that the ribs (14) have at least one sharp edge in cross-section.
The glass according to any of the foregoing claims from 1 to 6, characterised in that the ribs (14) have a rounded shape in cross-section.
The glass according to any of the foregoing claims from 1 to 9, characterised in that the size of the ribs (14) is substantially between 0.5 and 3.5 mm.
A method for eliminating excess carbon dioxide and for oxygenation of drinks using a glass (1) according to any of the foregoing claims from 1 to 10, characterised in that it comprises the step of making the glass (1) rotate during and/or after filling, allowing the ribs (14) to generate whirling and/or turbulent motions of the drink, resulting in the partial elimination of carbon dioxide and enhancement of the organoleptic attributes of the drink.
