The Different Categories Of Glassware

There are lots of different styles of glassware. It isn’t merely restricted to stemware and barware; each style has its own purpose and is designed for a specific liquid beverage.

• Glasses For Red Wine
  It isn’t as standard or straight forward as single glass shape for red wine. There is a diverse selection of different glasses for red wine, for example a Carbernet is to be served in a different glass to a Pinot Noir.
  
  However, there are some similarities amongst red wine glasses. As a glass of red wine is a luxurious aromatic experience as well as a taste experience, you need to be able to experience both the aromas and the flavours; as such the bottom of the bowl in a red wine glass should be larger than the top, directing those elegant and luxurious fragrances out of the glass as you swirl the wine inside.
  
  
• Glasses For White Wine
  With a diverse selection of white wines including Chardonnay, sparkling, and sweet wine; you need a diverse selection of white wine glasses. Unlike red wine glasses, glasses intended for white wines will have a much smaller bowl because they have different temperature requirements, which usually for white wine is cold. As white wines are also more delicate and subtle than red wines, the glasses designed for white wines often mirror this in their style and design.
  
  One of the most well-recognised white wine glass shapes is the flute, also known as a champagne glass or tulip glass. This style of glassware is used for sparkling white wine and the long and tall shape of the glass directs the bubbles to the top in a slow fashion, enhancing the tasting experience.
  
  
• Beer Glasses
  There is a wide range of different beer glasses, ranging from tankard and stein style mugs to the conical and nonic pint glasses. However, similar to wine, different styles of beer are better suited to different styles of glass, for example Pilsner and Footed Pilsner glasses, as their name might suggest, are better suited to Pilsners whereas you may see bartenders serving drinks in an Oktoberfest Mug during the build up to the Bavarian festival.
  
  
• Spirits/Liquor
  Just like the category for spirits and liquor, the glassware designed for them is also quite diverse. For example, the Martini glass is vastly different from the whisky tumbler, and the poco grande glass is very different to the margarita glass.

Things To Consider

There are many details that you need to consider when purchasing glassware for your catering business. One thing to consider is the colour of the material, as the colour of the plate or glass can affect appetites; did you know that red plates can influence people to eat less?

Additionally, if you’re interested in vintage styles; you might consider searching antique stores for vintage sets of glassware. However, it’s important to remember that these glasses will often be smaller and heavier; likely due to the usable of lead crystal glass. Whilst the use of lead in a drinking container might sound alarming, they are safe to drink from, however beverages should not be stored in lead crystal decanters for long periods of time, otherwise the lead could leach into the liquid.

In the UK, lead crystal glass has at least 24% lead oxide, which results in a stunning and beautiful drinking container. However, if you’re searching for machine washable glassware, perhaps a non-lead crystal which uses zinc or magnesium instead will be a better choice as some non-lead crystal items are dishwasher safe.
