Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for eliminating excess carbon dioxide in alcoholic drinks rich in carbon dioxide, for example, beer.
  • This oxygen absorption enhances particular qualities of the wine such as its aromas and flavours.
  • This treatment in some cases is also intended to reduce the level of carbon dioxide, whose presence, if at an excessive level, can cause unwanted and harmful effects in alcoholic drinks.
  • the gas has properties which anaesthetise the taste buds and so cancel out the consumer's capacity for taste.
  • the above-mentioned treatment consists of predetermined pouring out techniques and, as indicated above, an operation for rotation and oscillation of the glasses during and after filling.
  • the aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing a method for eliminating excess carbon dioxide from alcoholic drinks, like beer, as described in the first claim herein.
  • the numeral 1 denotes generically a glass or tankard for consuming and tasting drinks such as wine and beer.
  • Figures 1 to 5 illustrate, respectively labelled 2, 3, 4 and 5, conical column glasses with a wide opening 6 in particular used for tasting beer
  • Figures 6 to 9 illustrate, respectively labelled 7, 8, 9 and 10, goblet-shaped glasses, that is to say having the shape of a spherical cup and with a stem 11 and a base 12.
  • the internal surface 13 of the glasses 1 has a plurality of raised ribs 14, evenly distributed and extending from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glasses 1.
  • said ribs 14 are substantially parallel with one another, whilst in the glasses 3 and 4 the ribs 14 extend from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glass 1 with a helical or spiral path, respectively clockwise and anti-clockwise.
  • the ribs 14 are distributed in a first and a second set with opposite helical or spiral paths.
  • the glass 7 in Figure 6 has, on the internal surface 13 of the respective cup, a plurality of ribs 14 extending radially from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6.
  • the ribs 14 extend from the bottom 15 towards the opening 6 of the glass 1 with a helical or spiral path, respectively anti-clockwise and clockwise.
  • the ribs 14 are distributed in a first and a second set with opposite helical or spiral paths.
  • the ribs 14 in cross-section have a rounded shape and differing thicknesses.
  • the ribs 14 in cross-section respectively have a sharp-edged triangular shape and a polygonal shape forming two sharp edges.
  • the size of the ribs 14 is between 0.5 and 3.5 mm.
  • the consumer makes the glass perform a series of rotations so as to generate, again thanks to the ribs 14, a turbulent movement of the beer which causes the elimination of excess carbon dioxide.
  • this rotary movement does not alter the properties of the beer and instead enhances its aromatic qualities and flavours.
  • Said oxygen absorption enhances particular qualities of the wine, such as its aromas and flavours.
  • Said oxygenation therefore allows the organoleptic attributes of the wine to be enhanced and partial elimination of the carbon dioxide contained in it, which also helps to enhance the perfumes.

Claims (9)

  1. Un procédé d'élimination du dioxyde de carbone en excès dans des boissons alcoolisées, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les phases consistant à prendre un verre (1) présentant une pluralité de nervures en relief (14) uniformément réparties à l'intérieur dudit verre et s'étendant depuis le fond (15) vers l'ouverture (6) du verre (1), à faire tourner le verre (1) pendant et/ou après son remplissage, et à incliner le verre (1) pendant son remplissage et sa rotation, permettant ainsi aux nervures (14) de générer des tourbillons et/ou turbulences dans la boisson alcoolisée, ce qui réduit le niveau de dioxyde de carbone et augmente donc la capacité du corps humain à absorber des produits alcoolisés.
  2. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que ladite boisson alcoolisée est de la bière.
  3. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui s'étendent radialement depuis le fond (15) vers l'ouverture du verre (1).
  4. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui s'étendent selon une trajectoire en hélice ou en spirale depuis le fond (15) vers l'ouverture (6) du verre (1).
  5. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui sont réparties selon un premier et un deuxième ensembles ayant des trajectoires opposées.
  6. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui présentent, en coupe transversale, au moins une arête vive.
  7. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui ont, en coupe transversale, une forme triangulaire ou polygonale.
  8. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui ont, en coupe transversale, une forme arrondie.
  9. Le procédé selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que les tourbillons et/ou turbulences de la boisson alcoolisée sont obtenus par les nervures (14) qui ont une taille essentiellement comprise entre 0,5 et 3,5 mm.
