 Types of
Glassware
Beer Mug or Stein
A beer mug takes its shape from the
traditional German beer stein or
tankard made of pewter, silver, wood,
porcelain, earthenware or glass;
sometimes with a hinged lid and levered
thumb lift.
Flute Glass
A flute glass is the preferred serving vessel
for Belgian lambics and fruit beers, and
sometimes champagne. The narrow shape helps
maintain carbonation while providing a strong
aromatic front. Flute glasses display the lively
carbonation, sparkling color, and soft lacing of
this distinct style of beverage.
Goblet or Chalice
Chalices and goblets are large, stemmed,
bowl-shaped glasses adequate for serving heavy
Belgian ales, German bocks, and other big
sipping beers. The distinction between goblet
and chalice is typically in the glass thickness.
Goblets tend to be more delicate and thin, while
the chalice is heavy and thick walled.
Snifters
Typically used for serving brandy and
cognac, a snifter is ideal for capturing the
volatiles of aromatic beers such as Belgian
ales, India pale ales, Barley wines, and wheat
wines. The shape helps trap the volatiles while
allowing swirling to agitate them and produce
an intense aroma.
Cocktail Glass
A cocktail glass, martini glass, or
champagne glass, or stem cocktail glass,
is a drinking glass with a cone-shaped
bowl (the tip of the cone forming
approximately a 90-degree angle in the
cross section) on a stem above a flat base.
Red Wine Glasses
Glasses for red wine are characterized by
their rounder, wider bowl which gives the
wine a chance to breathe. Since most reds are
meant to be consumed at room temperature,
the wider bowl also allows the wine to cool
more quickly after hand contact has warmed
it.
Red wine glasses can have particular
styles of their own, such as:

Bordeaux glass: Tall with a wide bowl,

and is designed for full bodied red wines
like Cabernet and Merlot as it directs
wine to the back of the mouth.
Burgundy glass: Larger than the
Bordeaux glass, it has a larger 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 Glass
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
Champagne Flutes
Champagne flutes are characterized by a long
stem with a tall, narrow bowl on top. The shape is
designed to keep sparkling wine attractive and
inviting during its consumption. The glass is
designed to be held by the stem to help prevent the
heat from the hand up the champagne. The bowl
itself is designed in a manner to help retain the
signature carbonation in the beverage.
Sherry Glass
A sherry glass is a beverage ware generally
used for serving aromatic alcoholic beverages,
such as sherry, port, aperitifs and liqueurs, and
layered shooters. An ISO-standard sized sherry
glass is 120 ml. The copita with its aroma
enhancing narrow taper is a type of sherry
glass.
Coupette Glass
A modified version of the cocktail glass
which is used for serving drinks. The rim
of the glass is coated in either sugar or
salt or any other condiments. This is used
for more exotic drinks such as margaritas.
Old Fashioned Glass
The Old-Fashioned glass, rocks glass, or
lowball, is a short tumbler used for serving
liquor "on the rocks" which means over ice, or
cocktails having few ingredients. It is named
after the old fashioned cocktail, traditionally
served in such a glass. A White Russian is
traditionally served in the Old Fashioned Glass.
Beer Glass or Pilsner
A beer glass is used to serve beer, sometimes also known as
a Pilsner. The German glass generally holds 500 milliliters
with room for foam or head. It is much taller than a pint
glass. It is very narrow at the bottom and slightly wider at
the top. In other countries such as Belgium, the glass may
hold 250 ml or 330 ml. The tall glass provides room for the
often thick, fluffy heads produced by the style which traps
aromas and is visually pleasing.
Pitcher
This larger container usually has a
handle and a lip or spout for pouring the
contents into several glasses which is
available in glass or plastic. Pitchers are
generally used for serving beer from a
beer keg or draft beer.
Yard Glass
A yard or yard glass is a very tall glass used for drinking
beer; a yard or yard of ale also refers to the quantity of beer
held by such a glass. The glass is approximately one-yard-
long and holds two imperial pints (1.14 liters) of liquid. The
glass is shaped with a bulb at the bottom, and a widening
shaft which constitutes most of the height. Because the glass
is so long and in any case does not usually have a stable flat
base, it is hung on the wall when not in use.
Coffee Mug
A coffee mug is a smaller version
of the beer mug. It is made of thick
heavy glass and used for coffee.
Irish Coffee Cup
A uniquely shaped glass with a
handle that is used to serve any hot
beverage such as Spanish coffee, Irish
coffee, or cocoa.
Highball Glass
A highball glass, a glass tumbler, contains
8 to 12 fluid ounces (240 to 350 ml) and is
used to serve highball cocktails and other
mixed drinks. A highball glass is taller than an
Old Fashioned glass, and shorter and wider
than a Collins glass.
