Drinking glass for containing wine and for optimizing air mixed into the wine during swirling to enhance bouquet

Abstract

A drinking glass for containing wine and for optimizing air mixed into the wine during swirling to enhance bouquet of the wine. In an embodiment, the drinking glass includes a bowl that contains a physical obstacle to the wine during the swirling, which optimizes the air mixed into the wine. In another embodiment, the drinking glass further includes a stem that depends from the bowl, terminates in a base, and facilitates the swirling and observations thereof by not having the bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.

1 . A drinking glass for containing wine and for optimizing air mixed into the wine during swirling to enhance bouquet of the wine, comprising: 
 a bowl;    wherein said bowl has therein a physical obstacle to the wine during the swirling, which optimizes the air mixed into the wine.    
   
   
       2 . The glass as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said physical obstacle of said bowl is said bowl being indented so as to form an indent therein.  
   
   
       3 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said bowl has an outer surface; 
 wherein said bowl has an inner surface; and    wherein said indent in said bowl provides a concave surface of said outer surface of said bowl at said indent in said bowl and a convex surface of said inner surface of said bowl at said indent in said bowl so as to eliminate need for providing extra glass material on said inner surface of said bowl to form said physical obstacle of said bowl.    
   
   
       4 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said indent in said bowl is substantially linear.  
   
   
       5 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said indent in said bowl is inwardly extending.  
   
   
       6 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said indent in said bowl is curved.  
   
   
       7 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said indent in said bowl is skewly-oriented more vertical than horizontal.  
   
   
       8 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said bowl has a lower half; and 
 wherein said indent in said bowl is disposed in said lower half of said bowl.    
   
   
       9 . The glass as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       10 . The glass as defined in  claim 2 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       11 . The glass as defined in  claim 3 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       12 . The glass as defined in  claim 4 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       13 . The glass as defined in  claim 5 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       14 . The glass as defined in  claim 6 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       15 . The glass as defined in  claim 7 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.    
   
   
       16 . The glass as defined in  claim 8 , further comprising a stem; 
 wherein said stem depends from said bowl;    wherein said stem terminates in a base; and    wherein said stem is for facilitating the swirling and observations thereof by not having said bowl visually obstructed during the swirling.
