What types of beverage glasses are there?

Beverage glasses is a broad term and as such, it includes several types of glasses. To find out what kind of glass you need for your favorite drink, read below. There are different types of beverage glasses explained, so you will know a lot of the beverage glasses after this.

• Long drink glasses: These tall, slim glasses are often used for soda, juice, cocktails and mixed drinks. The narrow mould ensures that drinks do not heat up too quickly and ice cubes float well.
• Water glasses: Water glasses are often simple, straight glasses without much fuss. They come in various sizes, from small glasses to large, slightly spherical glasses.
• Whiskey sets: A whiskey set consists of a decanter and matching glasses. The glasses are often wide and low, giving the whiskey plenty of room to breathe and allowing the flavors and aromas to develop properly.
• Whiskey glasses: Whiskey glasses come in different shapes, sizes and styles, but generally they are wide and low, with a relatively thick bottom. This keeps the whiskey from evaporating too quickly and allows the flavors and aromas to develop properly.
• Cognac glasses: Cognac glasses are spherical with a narrow opening and often slightly narrower in the middle. This helps focus and concentrate the aroma and flavor of the cognac.
• Drink and shot glasses: Drink and shot glasses are small glasses used for serving spirits or liquor at once. The glasses are often wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
• Liqueur glasses: Liqueur glasses come in a variety of shapes, from wide, bowl-shaped glasses to slim glasses with a narrow opening. The mould of the glass can help focus and concentrate the flavors and aromas of the liqueur.
• Joke glasses: Joke glasses are relatively small and often have a slender, cylindrical chalice with a short stem. This ensures that the aroma and flavor of the grappa are highlighted.
• Cocktail glasses: Cocktail glasses come in different shapes, depending on the type of cocktail being served. Some cocktail glasses have a wide, bowl-shaped chalice, while others are slim and tall.
• Gin Tonic Glasses: Gin Tonic glasses are often tall and slim, with a long stem and a tulip-shaped chalice. This helps focus and concentrate the aromas of the gin and tonic.
• Martini Glasses: Martini glasses are slim and conical, with a long stem. This helps to concentrate and focus the flavors of the martini, while the long stem keeps the drink from heating up too quickly.

For example, some beverage glasses have striped or ribbed patterns on the outside, which not only looks nice, but also provides a better grip on the glass. It creates a vintage look. In addition, each type of beverage glass has its own mould. A water glass looks different from martini glasses.
