Drinking is not just about the drink in your hand, but also the experience that comes with it. If you want to relish your enjoyment to the fullest, the right types of drinkware glasses can make all the difference. From cocktails to margaritas, drinking is a chasm of many flavors and textures infused together. For each type of premium liquor, there is a particular type of drinkware glass with peculiar features to enhance each separate drinks properties.
Some glasses have a narrow mouth to retain the aroma; some have a long stem to prevent the drink from warming up by body temperature. Each glass is designed to make the drink better, and they actually do work.
However, with the wide variety of drinks out there, it can be confusing to keep up with the many available wine glasses for best aesthetics and tastes.
Flute
You may have seen the flute glass often in movies with champagne pops and exuberant party themes. It is a narrow and slightly tall glass. It's used for drinks that don't have to be aerated so much; a narrow mouth and slim bowl prevents the frizz from dying down too soon. This glass can be used to enjoy a glass of plain champagne or champagne cocktails as well.
Red Wine
Red wines must be aerated well to enhance the flavor of the drink. As a result, the red wine glass has a full bowl and a wide mouth, fairly typical of most of the types of wine glasses. These features help you show off your wine swirling skills to the best without worrying about spills and stains. The red wine glass also has a long stem to prevent the hand holding the glass from touching the base of the bowl. This insulates the wine from the heat of your hand. Warm wine is a lot of things but pleasing to taste.
White Wine
White wines also must be aerated but not as much as red wines. Keeping this in mind, the white wine glass falls somewhere in between the red wine glass and the flute glass. Its bowl is more comprehensive than that of the flute glass but not as wide as a red wine glass bowl. This feature allows the drink to be aerated without oxidizing it too fast. This way, the white wine's subtle flavors and tints can be enhanced.
Lowball
A lowball glass is also called a an Old Fashioned glass. A lowball glass is a short but full glass with a very thick base. The thick base creates a wide surface area and this helps with mixed drinks remaining that way. It is also used as the most common Bar Cup.
