Description

VERRE A DEGUSTATION
VERRE A DEGUSTATION
La présente invention est relative à un verre à dégustation, plus particulièrement destiné à permettre une appréciation approfondie des arômes les plus subtils dégagés par un produit contenu dans le verre, tel notamment que du vin, du champagne, une liqueur, ou un alcool.
TASTING GLASS
TASTING GLASS
The present invention relates to a tasting glass, more particularly intended to allow a deep appreciation of the most subtle aromas released by a product contained in the glass, such as in particular wine, champagne, a liqueur, or an alcohol.

On connaît déjà des verres å dégustation destinés à un tel usage. Ceux-ci présentent usuellement une forme ventrue du genre "verre ballon", ou la paraison du verre, délimitant le volume à la partie inférieure duquel est préalablement verse le produit à déguster, comporte après une première partie de section croissante au fur et à mesure que l'on s'éloigne du pied, une seconde partie qui se rétrécit ensuite progressivement jusqu'au bord supérieur du verre ou buvant, le changement de pente entre les deux parties de la paraison s'effectuant de façon adoucie avec une transition régulierement arrondie. There are already known tasting glasses intended for such use. These usually have a bulging shape of the kind "balloon glass", or the parison of the glass, delimiting the volume at the bottom of which is poured the product to be tasted before, comprises after a first part of increasing section as and as one moves away from the foot, a second part which then gradually narrows to the upper edge of the glass or drinking, the change in slope between the two parts of the parison being carried out in a smooth manner with a regularly rounded transition .

Or, ces verres, s'ils presentent des avantages, exigent en réalité, pour une dégustation réalisée dans les meilleures conditions, que leur forme soit adaptée å chaque catégorie de produit liquide à déguster, le profil du verre devant être différent selon la nature du vin, rouge ou blanc, ou du genre champagne, ou encore'selon l'age du produit. However, these glasses, if they have advantages, require in reality, for a tasting carried out under the best conditions, that their shape is adapted to each category of liquid product to be tasted, the profile of the glass having to be different according to the nature of the wine, red or white, or champagne-like, or depending on the age of the product.

La présente invention concerne un verre à dégustation qui permet, dans pratiquement tous les cas, et en particulier quelle que soit la nature du produit à déguster, de percevoir les arômes de ce produit, en réalisant dans la quantité de celui-ci contenue dans le verre une agitation ordonnée. et efficace, provoquant une pénetration d'air dans le liquide suffisamment importante pour qu'il en résulte de manière sûre, une puissante et complète expression des arômes et parfums, s'exhalant dans le verre jusqu'au buvant de celui-ci, en procurant à l'usager une intense sensation par une perception de la palette complète des composantes olfactives du produit, en même temps qu'une appréciation affinée de chacune d'entre elles séparément. The present invention relates to a tasting glass which allows, in almost all cases, and in particular whatever the nature of the product to be tasted, to perceive the aromas of this product, by realizing in the quantity of it contained in the glass an orderly agitation. and effective, causing a penetration of air into the liquid large enough for it to result in a safe manner, a powerful and complete expression of the aromas and perfumes, exhaling in the glass up to the drink thereof, providing the user with an intense sensation through a perception of the complete palette of the olfactory components of the product, at the same time as a refined appreciation of each of them separately.

A cet effet, le verre à dégustation considéré, comportant un pied prolongé par une jambe supportant la base de la paraison du verre, celle-ci présentant, du bas vers le haut, un profil en deux parties respectivement à section d'abord croissante, puis décroissante, jusqu'au bord supérieur constituant le buvant du verre, se caractérise en ce que les deux parties de la paraison forment entre elles, dans un plan de section axiale, au droit de la zone de liaison de ces parties un angle prononcé, voisin de 1200. To this end, the tasting glass considered, comprising a foot extended by a leg supporting the base of the parison of the glass, the latter having, from bottom to top, a profile in two parts respectively of first increasing section, then decreasing, up to the upper edge constituting the rim of the glass, is characterized in that the two parts of the parison form between them, in a plane of axial section, at the level of the connection zone of these parts a pronounced angle, around 1200.

Selon le cas, et en particulier en fonction des dimensions respectivement en hauteur des deux parties de la paraison d'une part, du diamètre maximal du verre d'autre part, l'angle peut varier d'un modèle à l'autre d'une valeur généralement au plus égale à 50, et en tout cas inférieure à 100, la valeur optimale étant de la façon la plus courante celle qui correspond à l'angle de 1200 précité. Depending on the case, and in particular depending on the dimensions respectively in height of the two parts of the parison on the one hand, of the maximum diameter of the glass on the other hand, the angle can vary from one model to another by a value generally at most equal to 50, and in any case less than 100, the optimal value being most commonly the one which corresponds to the angle of 1200 mentioned above.

Dans tous les cas, l'angle ainsi choisi permet au produit liquide préalablement versé dans le fond de la paraison du verre, animé d'un mouvement de giration lent dans celui-ci, de subir à la liaison entre les deux parties du fait du brusque changement de pente qu'elles présentent, des turbulences suffisantes pour autoriser la pénétration dans le liquide d'une quantité d'air convenable, provoquant un brassage régulier et approfondi du liquide. In all cases, the angle thus chosen allows the liquid product previously poured into the bottom of the parison of the glass, animated by a slow movement of gyration therein, to undergo the connection between the two parts due to the sudden change of slope they present, turbulence sufficient to allow the penetration into the liquid of a suitable quantity of air, causing a regular and thorough mixing of the liquid.

Cet air ainsi imprégné des arômes dégagés par le liquide peut alors s'exprimer au-dessus de ces derniers dans la cheminée du verre en direction du buvant dont la section convenablement rétrécie assure une concentration de ceux-ci et facilite leur perception par l'usager. This air thus impregnated with the aromas released by the liquid can then be expressed above the latter in the chimney of the glass in the direction of the drink whose appropriately narrowed section ensures their concentration and facilitates their perception by the user. .

Selon divers modes de réalisation, la capacité du verre peut varier en fonction de la nature du vin, ou autre produit, et de son âge, la caractéristique essentielle concernant l'angle des deux parties de la paraison restant naturellement commune à toutes ces variantes. According to various embodiments, the capacity of the glass can vary depending on the nature of the wine, or other product, and on its age, the essential characteristic concerning the angle of the two parts of the parison remaining naturally common to all these variants.

A titre d'exemple indicatif et non limitatif, on donne ci-après en référence à la figure unique du dessin annexé, la description d'un mode de réalisation particulier du verre selon l'invention. By way of indicative and non-limiting example, the following is given with reference to the single figure of the accompanying drawing, the description of a particular embodiment of the glass according to the invention.

Sur cette Figure, qui représente une vue en coupe axiale du verre considéré, celui-ci est désigné dans son ensemble sous la référence 1. In this Figure, which represents an axial section view of the glass considered, it is designated as a whole under the reference 1.

Il comporte, de façon en elle-meme connue, un pied d'appui et de support 2, prolongé axialement par une jambe 3 supportant par sa base la paraison 4 du verre; celle-ci est formée de deux parties, respectivement 5 et 6, dont la première va en s'évasant à partie du pied, du bas vers le haut, pour se raccorder à la seconde dont la section va au contraire en diminuant jusqu'au buvant 7, constituant l'extrémité supérieure du verre. It comprises, in a manner known per se, a support and support foot 2, extended axially by a leg 3 supporting by its base the parison 4 of the glass; it is made up of two parts, respectively 5 and 6, the first of which widens from the bottom, from the bottom up, to connect to the second, the cross section of which decreases to drinking 7, constituting the upper end of the glass.

Conformément à l'invention, les deux parties 5 et 6 dans la paraison 4 se raccordent par une zone de transition 7 ou les deux parties forment entre elles un angle prononcé, égal à 1200 ou d'ouverture très voisine de cette valeur. According to the invention, the two parts 5 and 6 in the parison 4 are connected by a transition zone 7 or the two parts form between them a pronounced angle, equal to 1200 or of opening very close to this value.

Le sommet de l'angle ainsi formé est d'autant plus vif et moins arrondi que le permettent les techniques de fabrication d'un tel verre, techniques qui utilisent préférentiellement une série d'interventions manuelles, selon la pratique des verriers. The apex of the angle thus formed is all the more vivid and less rounded than the techniques for manufacturing such a glass allow, techniques which preferentially use a series of manual interventions, according to the practice of glassmakers.

Le verre 1 est de préférence réalisé en cristal ou en cristallin, afin de joindre à l'effet des turbulences réalisées par sa partie angulaire pour une meilleure appréciation de ce que l'on appelle le "nez" du produit, la possibilité de percevoir toutes. The glass 1 is preferably made of crystal or crystalline, in order to combine with the effect of the turbulence produced by its angular part for a better appreciation of what is called the "nose" of the product, the possibility of perceiving all .

les nuances des couleurs constituant sa "robe".the nuances of colors constituting her "dress".

Bien entendu, le verre considéré peut être réalisé un faisant varier ses diverses dimensions, en particulier les hauteurs respectivement hl et h2 des deux parties 5 et 6 de la paraison 4, ainsi que le diamètre maximal d du verre, au droit de la région angulaire 8. Of course, the glass considered can be produced by varying its various dimensions, in particular the heights hl and h2 respectively of the two parts 5 and 6 of the parison 4, as well as the maximum diameter d of the glass, in line with the angular region. 8.

Dans tous les cas, l'angle des deux parties est choisi égal à 1200 ou s'écartant de cette valeur d'au plus 50, et jamais de plus de 100.  In all cases, the angle of the two parts is chosen equal to 1200 or deviating from this value by at most 50, and never by more than 100.
