Your Guide on Different Glassware and Stemware

Your Guide on Different Glassware and Stemware

Alike those in the catering and hospitality industries, glassware trends are regularly changing, brands are continuously coming up with alterations in design that soothe the operator's drink service than ever before. Glassware is a significant element of any well-laid tablespace with an understanding of which designs to buy in which materials for which occasions is a laudable pursuit. The bottom line is to always buy your elegant glassware from a reputable brand that guarantees the greatest quality. Some styles are to be enjoyed in a specific type of glassware that is intended to highlight the unique flavors, color, carbonation, aroma, and foam collar. Nowadays, restaurants are much concerned with choosing the kind of glassware and offering the customers while they enjoy their perks of Zomato gold and other platinum cards.  Even while choosing glassware for your home, the right one adds sophisticated style whether you're throwing a backyard barbecue, a black-tie cocktail party, or a weeknight dinner with your friends and family. 

Taking these factors into accounts, we have listed types of glasses that you should look out for this winter season while serving your guests.

Wine Glasses: Designed to enhance aromas and flavours, wine glasses each have a particular role depending on which wine they’re destined for. A wine glass consists of four parts – the base, the stem, the bowl, and the rim. The base is what provides the glass its stability. The stem elongates the glass while giving the customer something to hold on to without raising the temperature of the wine within. Also, it prevents fingerprints from getting on the bowl of the glass. When talking about the designs, wine glasses got different types like burgundy glasses, Bordeaux glasses, White/Red wine glasses, etc.

Champagne Glasses: Drinking a glass of Champagne normally signals a celebratory moment. If you drink a lot of champagne and sparkling wine, we recommend choosing clear and thin crystal sparkling champagne glasses, without decorations or colours, because they must allow assessing the general appearance, the quality of its bubbles, its transparency, and colour shades. Two of the most iconic champagne glasses used are Champagne Flute glass and Champagne Coupe Glasses. Champagne Flute glass has a narrow bowl and tall sides that allow bubbles to develop and last longer that look appealing and maximizes its sparkle. Also, it has a tall stem that prevents hand temperature from affecting the temperature of the champagne as it’s one that should be consumed ice cold. Whereas Champagne Coupe glass has a design that features the widest and shallowest of bowls which owe its shaping to the need for a glass that would house a syrupy dessert in the early 20th century. 

Cocktail Glasses: Enhance the cocktail presentation with the right cocktail glasses that can make your drinks better and improve the experience for your guests.  Some glasses are designed to hold more ice, and some glass shapes improve the aromatics of the drink. There are different cocktail glasses out there, and it is quite difficult to know what you should get. When stocking a home bar, it can be overwhelming trying to find your way through all the different types of cocktail glasses and knowing which ones are worth buying for your first big purchase. Well, the most ironically used cocktail glasses are margarita and martini glasses. Martini glasses feature a "v" shaped bowl design that requires the drink to be sipped, making it perfect for drinks with little or no mixers. Whereas the Margarita glass features a large, round bowl with a broad rim that gives plenty of room for garnishes. The wide bowl supports the drinker to enjoy the aromatics of the drink with every sip, while also seizing a taste of the salt or sugar-coated rim. A tall stem gives the glass easy to hold, even on larger capacity sizes.

Highball Tumbler: This tall straight glass holds about 8 to 12 ounces and is meant to be filled with ice. It is best used for cocktails served on the rocks, the glass shape keeps the drink cold and protects carbonation. To house party guests, consider a streamlined set for twelve. Or, for more private get-togethers, opt for individual glasses and serve drinks for two instead. Also, use it in your family restaurant, cafe, or sports bar. The versatile straight-sided design gives a sleek presentation while strengthening the beverage that is being served. This glass is excellent for rigorous, high-traffic environments too. Its ability to lend itself well to everything from cocktails to water to juice makes it a strength of a glassware collection.

Double Old-Fashioned Tumbler: Whether served neat or on the rocks, your finest liquors or even juices are sure to stand out in this double old-fashioned tumbler. It is a staple of any bar or glassware collection that will be an everyday or entertaining piece.

Shot Glasses: These are perfect for serving shots of whiskey or other famous spirits. It is also excellent for portioning out shots to pour into mixed drinks, so you can maximize your stock and never over pour. Shot glasses are not only exemplary for your specialty mixed cocktails, but it is also perfect for sweet treats like dessert shooters and espresso shots. It is designed to convey the flavour profile and characteristics of each drink and ideal for both outdoor and indoor settings.

Beer Glasses: Beer lovers know that the shape of a beer glass affects the quality of the beer being served. Whether you are enjoying a pilsner, a Weizen, or an IPA, they all have a glass to enjoy them in. Colour, carbonation, and aromatics can all be improved by the shape and thickness of the glass. On the other hand, for busy bars or restaurants which have a smaller beer menu, using a multipurpose glass that is simple to clean and stock might be the more suitable choice.
