Each beverage has its own specific serving glass,
from wine to cocktails to liqueur.
Here is the guide to serving each drinks in its proper glassware,
along with some tips :-)
Short Tumbler
A 5- or 6-ounce capacity with straight or slightly sloping sides.
Used for fruit juices, water, old-fashioneds,
whiskey on the rocks, and soft drinks.
Tall Tumbler
A 10- to 12-ounce capacity with straight or slightly
sloping sides. Used for drinks mixed with
fruit juices, exotic tropical drinks,
highballs, soft drinks, iced tea, and other
drinks that require lots of ice cubes.
Wineglass (White)
About 4-ounce capacity on a stemmed base.
The typical wineglass for white wine has a smaller
bowl and taller stem, so the warmth of your hand won't reach
the bowl and destroy the wine's crisp flavour.
Wineglass (Red)
Varying capacity; should be large enough to be filled
only one third full, so the wine can be swirled
to bring out its full flavour.
Cocktail Glass
About 4-ounce capacity, with a wide-rimmed
top and a stemmed base. Used for martinis,
Manhattans, and other mixed cocktails.
Tall Flute or Tulip Glass
About 4-ounce capacity,
with a tall, narrow bowl on a stemmed base.
Used for champagne, sparkling wines, and
Champagne cocktails.
Liqueur Glass
About 1 1/2-ounce capacity on a short-stemmed base.
Used for small amounts of liqueurs and cordials.
Brandy Snifter
Varying capacity with large, round, wide-bottom
bowl that narrows to a slightly inverted rim
and a short-stemmed base. Made to be cradled in the hand
so that the brandy may be warmed and
swirled to release its bouquet.
