Bus/Financial - Wine / Oenology / Viticulture | | English term or phrase: ‘Legs' or ‘tears’ in a glass | | Much is often made of ‘legs’ or ‘tears’ in a glass – the apparent wine imprint left on the inside side of the glass after swirling. While this can be indicative of the amount of glycerol and alcohol present in the wine, more often than not it is also a sign that there is detergent residue left in the glass! |

| | 玻璃杯上的“腿形”或“泪珠形”(的葡萄酒痕迹) | Explanation:
玻璃杯上的“腿形”或“泪珠形”(的葡萄酒痕迹)
In a wine glass, evaporation of alcohol creates Marangoni stresses that cause the wine to climb to the top of the thin film, where it accumulates in a band that grows until becoming gravitationally unstable and releasing the `tears of wine'...
在打漩以后, 玻璃杯内侧经常留下明显的的“腿形”或“泪珠形”的葡萄酒痕迹。 尽管这可以表示葡萄酒中存在的丙三醇和酒精的含量，但更多时候却是杯中清洁剂残留的标记!
Best wishes,
