How Much Do You Know About the白酒 Cup?

Material: Modern wine cups are commonly made of two types of materials: one is glass made from silicon dioxide, and the other is porcelain or earthenware. Glass/crystal cups are transparent, allowing for a direct observation of the color and movement of the liquid inside. Porcelain/earthenware wine cups are opaque and often feature certain patterns or designs on the cup body.

Capacity:白酒 cups vary in size on the market, with larger ones holding two or three liang, suitable for heavy drinkers. There are also cups that hold a few liang, ideal for those who appreciate a leisurely drinking experience. Moderation in drinking is advised, and for ease of controlling one's intake, smaller capacity cups are recommended.

Categories: Common types of Chinese白酒 cups include wonton cups, as-you-wish cups, and ceramic cups. Wonton cups, also known as "one-bite cups," are made of glass with a capacity of about 15-30ml (2-6 cents), suitable for one drink per cup, catering to the drinking habits of the Chinese. As-you-wish cups have a handle at the bottom, the upper part of the cup is slightly deeper and curved, usually made of glass with a capacity of about 10-15ml (1-2 cents), ideal for tasting wine. Ceramic cups are typically made from porcelain stone, kaolin, quartz stone, and mullite, featuring glass glaze or painted patterns, and are a more traditional Chinese container for holding wine.
