Description

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 spirits, spirits and liqueurs.

La dégustation consiste à apprécier les valeurs olfactives et gustatives d'un alcool, ou autres boissons alcoolisées.Tasting consists in appreciating the olfactory values and taste of alcohol, or other alcoholic beverages.

On connaít 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 have a foot surmounted by a leg which supports the parison which includes a first flaring part upwards, then a second part narrowing down to upper edge called drinking.

C'est le cas des verres décrits dans les documents FR-A-2.648.340 et FR-A-2.684.534, qui sont toutefois plus particulièrement destinés à la dégustation de vins.This is the case of the glasses described in documents FR-A-2,648,340 and FR-A-2,684,534, which are however more particularly intended for wine tasting.

D'autre part, ces verres sont conçus de manière que le dégustateur puisse accélérer mécaniquement l'évaporation du produit à déguster, en appliquant au verre un mouvement de giration, 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.On the other hand, these glasses are designed so that the taster can mechanically accelerate the evaporation of product to be tasted, applying a movement of gyration, which in the case of an alcohol presents a disadvantage for olfactory appreciation, since a agitation promotes the release of esters which 〈〈 burn 〉〉 the nose when the product is smelled.

On connaít 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. We also know, from document BE-A-428 043, a glass having a slightly flared portion of the trunk below cone surmounted by a part, called protruding, widening strongly then narrowing down to the drinking, the internal diameter of the latter being greater than that external the largest of the 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 low volume salient which cannot be compared to a parison.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un verre a dégustation pour alcools, permettant une totale appréciation olfactive.The present invention aims to provide a glass tasting for alcohols, allowing a total appreciation olfactory.

Ainsi, la présente invention concerne un verre à dégustation pour alcools, tels que les eaux de vie, les spiritueux et les liqueurs comprenant un réservoir s'évasant doucement et sur le bord supérieur duquel naít une paraison, celle-ci comprenant 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 conseillée, le volume de cette paraison étant supérieur à celui dudit réservoir.Thus, the present invention relates to a tasting glass for alcohols, such as spirits, spirits and liqueurs including a gently flaring tank on the upper edge of which there is a parison, this comprising two parts, a first part of small height flaring more strongly, extended by a second part of large height going gradually narrowing to the drinking the opening of which delimits an area at least equal to that delimited by the upper edge of said tank, which edge constitutes the recommended filling limit, the volume of this parison being greater than that of said tank.

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, this comprises a foot surmounted by a leg supporting the tank.

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.During filling, the liquid is poured directly into the tank, the maximum recommended level, for an exhalation maximum of aromas, without circular agitation, is located full of the tank, the surface of the liquid then being less than or maximum equal to the area delimited by the opening of the drink.

Les caractéristiques du verre selon l'invention permettent de maítriser les émanations des esters par la surface d'évaporation 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 to control the emanations of esters from the surface evaporation of the alcoholic liquid that fills the tank. At during the humage, the aromatic molecules, which fill the volume constituted by the parison, release their 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 an exhalation full of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas of liquid to taste, with restriction of fumes aggressive alcohol supporting organoleptic molecules and 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 so traditional, or preferably by aspirating in the mouth said liquid by means of a small diameter torch immersed in the tank, this in order to preserve the tasting aforementioned olfactory.

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 non limitatifs.The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the accompanying drawing, which represents several non-limiting embodiments.

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 a dégustation selon l'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 l'invention.
  • les figures 4 et 5 représentent des variantes de ce même verre à dégustation.
In the attached drawing:
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view along a median vertical plane of a first embodiment of the tasting glass according to the invention.
  • 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 according to the invention.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show variants of this same tasting glass.

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 où naít 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.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 where the parison 2 which has two parts, a first part 20 of small height and width increasing, and a second part 21 of great height and decreasing width gradually 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 defined by the drink 22 is greater than the surface delimited by the upper edge 10 of the reservoir 1, which constitutes the filling limit, which can be materialized by a benchmark.

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 full part 3 of a certain height, allowing gripping. The glass shown is more particularly intended for the tasting of alcohol of the type whiskey.

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 soit compensée par une augmentation de la surface d'évaporation, laquelle doit rester inférieure à la surface délimitée par le buvant 22. The surface ratio can go up to 3.5 which allows, for those who wish, dilute the alcoholic liquid with by means of a neutral liquid, water for example, so that the mixture fills the tank and part of part 20, so that the decrease in alcoholic densities and aromatic is compensated by an increase in the surface evaporation, which must remain below the surface bounded by the drinker 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.If we now refer to Figure 2, we can see that the upper part of the parison 2, at the level of the drink 22, has a concave rim 23 which narrows the opening of the drink 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 allows you to taste a whiskey, cooled using one or more ice cubes, in fact, cooling the alcoholic liquid decreases the fumes, the narrowing of the drinking thus allows, while retaining the relationship between the opening of the drink 22 and the air surface of the liquid, increase the retention of 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.It will be noted that advantageously the rim 23 makes it possible to retain the or the ice cubes, or any deposits, when the glass is worn in the mouth.

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.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 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 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, do not affect the exhalation of aromas, provided that the relationship between the opening is respected of the drink 22 and the air surface of the liquid.
