GLASSWARE 

 Sherry Glasses

Sherry glasses resemble red wine glasses, only they are a bit smaller and are made to hold fortified wines, like port, or wines with a strong aroma. Sherry has a distinct aroma that gets trapped in these special glasses.

 

 Glass Goblets

Goblets have a shorter stem than wine glasses, but can still be used to hold wine or sherry. They can also be used to hold water or other beverages.

 

Champagne Glasses

These glasses are usually fluted with a tall and narrow bowl for holding champagne. The small opening helps keep the carbonation inside of the glass longer, so that it keeps the drink from going flat. These glasses are great for holding mimosas and other cocktails as well as champagne.

 

White Wine Glasses

White wine glasses have a smaller rim than the red. The stemmed glasses keep chilled wines cooler longer, as the person drinking the wine can hold the stem instead of holding the glass.

 

 Cosmopolitan Glasses

Ideal for holding cosmos or other mixed drinks, cosmopolitan glasses resemble a stem less cocktail glass.

 

Red Wine Glasses

Red wine glasses are designed to have a larger rim so that the person drinking the wine can smell the aroma while sipping the wine. Stem less wine glasses can also be used for red wines, since the wine is served room temperature and will not quickly grow warm in the guest’s hand.

 

 Coffee Glasses

These glass mugs can be used to hold any type of warm or iced beverage, such as coffee, tea or cider. In a bar setting, they are often used to serve Irish coffee, because the glass mug keeps the beverage warm while adding a decorative touch to the drink.

 

 Cordial Glasses

A cordial glass can be used to serve any kind of sweet liqueurs. They can also function as an elegant glass for serving beer samples.

 

Brandy Snifters

These glasses have a shorter stem than wine glasses and are designed to hold brandy, a spirit that is made from distilled wine and often served after dinner. The glasses are capable of holding much more liquid than should be poured. Fill the glass about a third of the way up so that the brandy can breathe in the glass.

Beverage Glassware

 

Beverage Glasses

These all-purpose glasses can be used to hold any beverage you wish. They come in various sizes, shapes and capacities to fit your dining room needs.

 

Water Glasses

Water glasses hold anywhere from 5 to 14 ounces of water. In a pinch, plastic drink ware can be used in lieu of glass, especially when it comes to serving water.

 

 Ice Tea Glasses

Some iced tea glasses resemble regular beverage glasses, while some have stems and resemble wine glass or a goblet. These glasses can be used for iced tea, as well as water or any other beverage.

 Juice Glasses

Small juice glasses are great for serving juice at breakfast and brunch. They are smaller than most beverage glasses.
