The document discusses different types of drinkware including wine glasses, cocktail glasses, beer glasses, and their purposes. It describes the shapes and uses of glasses like flutes, tulips, martini glasses, pints and more.

Red wine glasses are designed to direct wine to different parts of the mouth depending on the wine, while white wine glasses are generally narrower to retain chilled temperature. Champagne flutes are tall and narrow to retain carbonation. Sherry glasses have a taper to enhance aromas.

Common cocktail glasses include martini glasses, margarita glasses, highball glasses, lowball glasses and hurricane glasses. They are used for drinks like martinis, margaritas, gin and tonics, whiskey drinks and tropical cocktails.

Stemmed glases
Water goblet The form has a stalk or foot. When viewed as a whole, its almost like a flower shoe. Glasses of water can also be used to shape, not too thick, but strong and there is a model does not have a stalk / ear Wine glass

* Red wine glasses :

Bordeaux glass: tall with a broad bowl, and is designed for full bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah as it directs wine to the back of the mouth. Burgundy glass: broader than the Bordeaux glass, it has a bigger bowl to accumulate aromas of more delicate red wines such as Pinot Noir. This style of glass directs wine to the tip of the tongue.

* White wine glasses White wine glasses are generally narrower, although not as narrow as champagne flutes, with somewhat straight or tulip-shaped sides. The narrowness of the white wine glass allows the chilled wine to retain its temperature for two reasons: The reduced surface area of the glass (in comparison to red wine glasses) means less air circulating around the glass and warming the wine. The smaller bowl of the glass means less contact between the hand and the glass, and so body heat does not transfer as easily to the wine.

* Champagne flutes

Champagne flutes are characterised by a long stem with a tall, narrow bowl on top. The shape is designed to keep sparkling wine desirable during its consumption. The glass is designed to be held by the stem to help prevent the heat from the hand from warming the champagne. The bowl itself is designed in a manner to help retain the signature carbonation in the beverage. This is achieved by reducing the surface area at the opening of the bowl. Champagne flutes are often used at formal engagements, such as award ceremonies and weddings.

* Sherry glasses A sherry glass (or copita) is drinkware generally used for serving aromatic alcoholic beverages, such as sherry, port, aperitifs, and liqueurs, and layered shooters. An ISOstandard sized sherry glass is 120 millilitres (4.2 imp fl oz; 4.1 US fl oz). The copita, with its aroma-enhancing narrow taper, is a type of sherry glass.

Cocktail glass, There are some basic cocktail glasses that nearly all bartenders use on a regular basis. o Martini

Martini glasses have a triangle shaped glass atop a stemmed handle and flat base. They hold 8 oz. and are used for drinks without ice, such as martinis, cosmopolitans and Manhattans.

Margarita

Margarita glasses are similar to martini glasses but have a rounder shape at the top and a wider rim used for placing sugar or salt. These glasses hold up to 8 oz. and are used for margaritas and other fruit-based mixed drinks. o Highball Highball glasses are tall, thin glasses with straight sides that hold up to 14 oz. They are most often used for mixed drinks that contain ice, such as gin and tonics or Bloody Marys. o Lowball Lowball glasses are shorter, wider versions of highball glasses and only hold up to 10 oz. They are intended for highly alcoholic drinks on ice, especially those containing whiskey or scotch. o Hurricane Hurricane glasses are shaped like highball glasses but have indented sides, giving them a lamp shape. They hold up to 10 oz. and are used for tropical mixed or frozen cocktails.

Brandy glass/ Brandy Snifter


Commonly used to serve brandy and sometimes other aromatic liquors; the wide base provides ample surface area to release aromatic vapors, while the narrow mouth helps hold the aroma within the glass during consumption of the drink, enhancing the experience. Similar to a wine glass, the brandy glass has a shorter stem and a wider bowl. The purpose is opposite of the wine glass

the brandy glass is designed to be cupped in the hand to warm the brandy

Champage glass
o Coupe champagne glass The coupe champagne glass, also known as the saucer glass, is a shallow, wide-rimmed glass with a relatively short stem. Coupe glasses were the original champagne glass and remained popular for the first half of the 20th century until they were overtaken by the flute champagne glass. Champagne connoisseurs skip the coupe glass for champagne, as the wide mouth and shallow bowl lets the aromas escape easily and allows the champagne to go flat more quickly.

o Flute champagne glass The flute champagne glass, sometimes called a trumpet flute when the rim flares out, is a tall, narrow glass with a medium to long stem. Flutes make for great displays of the bubbles in the bubbly. Many flutes have a roughened point in the bottom of the bowl. This point causes the bubbles to congregate there and then rise to the top of the glass, thus directing the flow of the bubbles. Flutes and trumpet flutes have either a straight mouth or a flared mouth. respectively; neither mouth preserves the aroma of the champagne, making these glasses best for younger sparkling wines.

o Tulip champagne glass

The tulip champagne glass, sometimes also referred to as a champagne flute, although never called a trumpet flute, is similar to the regular flute, but always features a rim that curves inwards. Tulip glasses have a wider bowl than mouth, and are similar to a regular white wine glass. For older, higher quality champagnes, when a tulip glass is not available, a white wine glass is seen by wine connoisseurs as a better alternative than flared flutes and coupes .

2. Unstemmed glass Highball glass


Highball glasses are tall, 8 or 9 fl oz (240 or 270 mL) gl asses designed to hold highball drinks iced drinks containing liquor along with water and/or a carbonated mixer. Highball glasses may in some parts also be known as a cooler or a slim jim.

Old fashioned glass

The Old Fashioned glass, lowball glass, or rocks glass is a short tumbler used for serving an alcoholic beverage, such as whisky,

with ice cubes (on the rocks). It is also normally used to serve certain cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned, from which it receives its name.

Beer glases
Pint: A standard, all-purpose beer glass with slightly tapered walls. Used primarily for English- and American-style lagers and ales ranging from light lagers to imperial stouts. Pint glasses come in two sizes: Imperial 20 ounce (570 mL) or US 16 ounce (470 mL) pints. Pilsener: A long, narrow glasses with walls that taper towards the base. Used to consolidate volatiles and support delicate heads of pilseners and other lagers.

Weizen: A large, curvaceous glass, bulbous near the mouth to Seidel: A German-style mug, often of great volume, with handles

support and showcase the heads of weizens and other wheat beers.

and thick walls to help maintain a cool temperature. An earthenware, ceramic, or metal version is called a stein.

Chalice or goblet: A wide-mouthed, bowl-like, stemmed glass,

often with metal linings. Used for serving Trappist ales and other abbey-style ales. Like tulip glasses, they are often etched to stimulate carbonation. Chalices may be substituted with an oversize red wine glass.
