Dec 12, 2024

The types of wine glasses, we can have many classification methods. One of the most common is according to the height of the glass, divided into footless flat cups (classical cups, highball cups, Collin cups, beer cups, etc.), low cups (brandy cups, storm cups, etc.) and tall cups (sour glasses, cocktail glasses, wine glasses, etc.). The other is to be divided according to its special use and service, which I will share in detail for you below.

Different drinks because of different capacity and characteristics, there are corresponding cups to dress. If the wrong cup is used, it will not only look awkward, but also make the beverage look and taste greatly downgraded. Can you imagine milk in a wine glass or orange juice in a brandy glass?

Some cups have several names because of transliteration. Sometimes because of different uses, different drinks, even the same cup, will temporarily change into a different name. For this, it is the more professional knowledge of the bartending industry, which may not be noticed by laymen and novice friends. Below, I will take a few common cups commonly used in the bar as an example to share for everyone. I have another picture of each commonly used cup for your reference, so as not to confuse novice friends when reading the article.
