1. The Glass
Choose you glass regardless if drinking neat or mixing something else.

Alcoholic drinks are part of many social occasions. They are meant to be enjoyable and fun. They create a sense of community when toasting and strengthen cohesion with toasts, toasts and other drinking rituals. But without limits and a socially acceptable framework, alcohol is no longer a stimulant. Traditional rituals and rules give drinking a structure and ultimately also orientation.
The consumption of alcohol has played an important role across cultures, and especially the central European culture for many centuries. In the form of various spirits, rituals, glasses, serving methods and temperatures, it always conveys a certain symbolism - for example, when we raise a glass for or to someone to wish them good luck and health, or when we clink glasses with each other to seal a friendship.
Whether weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or similar - drinking rituals and the consumption of alcohol in general have become an integral part of life.

Whether weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or similar - drinking rituals and the consumption of alcohol in general have become an integral part of life. Drinking rituals have also played a major role outside of celebrations, especially at mealtimes, and have done so for many centuries. For example, it is customary to serve an aperitif before and a schnapps after a three-or-more-course meal to round off the meal as a social event. Or a simple cheese platter can be enhanced with a fine Apple or Pear schnapps on a sunny afternoon.
The way in which alcohol is enjoyed, the culturally prescribed ritual of drinking, provides structure.

As already mentioned, you enjoy good distillates from glasses that bring out the fine flavours. The "sniffing" and "tasting" of a schnapps is called degustation. It can also be a professional activity to judge the quality of the drink.
It is the art of objectively assessing the flavour and aroma characteristics. You check the colour with your eyes and the aroma with your nose. You then taste the schnapps.
Evaluate the flavour, harmony and character of the variety as well as any faults. When analysed in detail, connoisseurs also assess the purity and intensity.
Harmony:
A positive impression is created when individual aroma components harmonise together. This can even create a real fragrance experience. It is negative if individual odours are inharmonious.
Varietal character:
If you can clearly recognise the typical characteristics of the variety by its scent, that is of course a great thing. It is not so laudable if no typical characteristics are recognisable during the test or are masked by other nuances.
Purity:
Positive characteristics by which purity can be recognised are clean, typical, elegant or pure. Connoisseurs tend to express displeasure with the adjectives musty, fuzzy, unclean and dull.
Intensity:
The intensity is successful if you can think of words such as delicate, restrained, fine or intense. If you describe the drink as neutral - or more obviously as weak - this is clear negative feedback.
