Why Does Wine Cry?

  • The drops that form around the side of a wine glass are strange, but most people don't realize just how strange. Here the effect is explained, along with time-lapse footage of these "tears" or "legs" of wine to show the effect for what it truly is.
    Naturally, such a short video has to contain some simplifications. For more details, check out the Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_o...) or James Thomson's original explanation in 1855 (books.google.com/books?id=MVIw....
    Music by Emancipator.

      I had never noticed that the legs could run up, as well as down. It might be time to see this for myself by pouring a few glasses of wine, you know, FOR SCIENCE!

      So cool! I drink wine every day at home (Argentine wine is really good and cheap so why not?). This is very interesting, I'm going to take a closer look at my glass tonight

    I observed this one of these days in a glass of whisky. I was fun to just keep watching those drops form and fall. I immediately remembered this video, and came back to watch it again.

    I've always been told that you could get a reasonable idea of the alcoholic content of a wine by observing how quickly the tears move: now I know why!

  • @bradwood1947
    @bradwood1947 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice piece. I once had a supposed wine expert solemnly inform me that the legs were simply glycerine, and I demurred a bit and suggested that at least there was some interaction with the alcohol.

  • @TheQuantumTunnel137
    @TheQuantumTunnel137 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice vid and explanation. But you should have also mentioned that it is most seen in wines with a higher alcohol content. The disparity in evaporation rates and surface tension means it will be seen more readily.

  • @ReasonMakes
    @ReasonMakes 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Beautiful. Where does the energy for the water to move the pepper come from? I understand the concept of surface tension but energy has to come from somewhere. Would it be heat-based and thus the water cools when you add detergent?

    • @Danbquinn
      @Danbquinn  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes gradients can provide the potential energy to initiate motion. Think of salt fingers - the gradient in salinity provides the potential energy that is converted into the motion of the water. I suspect the energy balance of the Marangoni effect can be explained in a similar way.

  • @traviskoh9712
    @traviskoh9712 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    as a drop fall and it gets thinner, does surface tension work to pull the drop back up the cup? It appears like some drops fall but are pulled up like a yo-yo before they reach the main body of wine.
    Also, is this a spontaneous effect? that is, do you have to swirl the wine glass for this to happen, or if you just left a glass of wine untouched, would the tears of wine occur eventually?

  • @joeclark1871
    @joeclark1871 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I cry if I spill the wine. The wine doesn't cry if I take a spill.....somehow that seems unfair....;) Thanks, Dan.

    Could you use this principle to create what looks like constantly flowing rain on a small fake window? It might be a neat little decoration or experiment to create.

    • @RedTriangle53
      @RedTriangle53 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      That might depend on the angling on the inside of the window, might be hard to find non-parallel glass sheets...

  • @jaredwfrick
    @jaredwfrick 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I was at Fort Campbell I used to o to the Beachhaven Winery a lot - they explained these "legs " had something to do with the sugar content and were different for whites and reds. Sounds like time to do some tasty research!

  • @mirandaandjeff
    @mirandaandjeff 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't think the alcohol along the vertical edge would evaporate faster than on the horizontal surface (unless there was a temp difference), but the relative percentage would change faster in the local environment due to restricted diffusion from less underlying volume. Otherwise great explanation, thanks!
