Why Do We Drink Glasses?

Why do we drink glasses? There are two ways of saying that.

One statement was created by the ancient Greeks.

Legend has it that the ancient Greeks have noticed the fact that when you drink a glass of wine, you can share the joys of wine: the nose can smell the aroma of the wine, the eyes can see the color of the wine, the tongue can discern the taste of wine, and only the ears are excluded from this enjoyment.

What to do? The Greeks came up with a way to touch each other before drinking, and the crisp sound of the cup spread to the ears.

In this way, ears can enjoy the pleasure of drinking as well as other organs.

Another way of saying it is that drinking and clinking glasses originated in ancient Rome.

Ancient Rome advocated martial arts, and often launched "wrestling" competition.

Before competition, athletes are used to drinking to show mutual encouragement.

Because wine is prepared beforehand, in order to prevent people who are mentally ill from giving poison in the wine they drink, people think of a way to prevent it. Before wrestling, both parties pour their own wine into each other's glass.

Since then, the clink has gradually developed into a kind of etiquette.
