Important Aspects of Specifically Designed Glasses for Dedicated Alcoholic Beverages |
Posted: January 19, 2019 |
Glassware have always been central to hospitality, be it at home or a hotel or restaurant, especially if the guests are very important or they are very specific about what and how something is being served to them. No wonder that beer and wine brewing brands want nothing less than the best for their drinks to be served in (which also goes for serving food but not that fanatically!). This blog looks at several important aspects related to drinking from specifically designed glassware and why this gained importance over the decades. Why glassware matter Be it a well-brewed craft beer or a delicately flavoured wine, glassware have found special places in the shelves. Beer and wine making companies and breweries are going gaga about experiencing a drink rather than gulping it down from just any tom-dick-harry drinking mug/glass. They are going to the extent of contracting glassware manufacturing companies to create glasses specifically designed to heighten the feel, flavour and look of their particular drinks. Even the experts who are known to deny the importance of specific glasses for specific beer/wine have found some reason to enjoy their drink in a particular glass rather than straight out of their mason jars. So there must be something about the glass designs, thickness and stems that so many brands are working hard to bring best drinking experience to your buffet table. Below are some specific glasses people love to have their drink from: Wine Glasses The care that’s invested in wine brewing makes the owners more of a poet than a brewer. A special glass is out there for every single variety of wine in each category (of the white, red and rose wines along with the special mention required by sparkling and dessert / fortified wines). Flutes, red wine glasses and white wine glasses could easily confuse a new wine glassware collector. Just so many brands and shapes are available and all highlighting their importance; choosing for an occasion can seriously become a challenge. Beer Glasses Ask any beer enthusiast or connoisseur about glasses making any difference in their experience of their beer and you would get a unanimous answer: Yes! Well, of course there’s all the hype fanned by the commercial glass and beer manufacturers but don’t let it cloud your judgement on a great beer experience because this could be true just as much. After all, there are experts swearing on it. All that’s left is you giving it a trial and making your own mind: Is it true what every beer connoisseur or enthusiast attesting to? And you would have to have a lifetime of testing to do; so many types of beer and their dedicated branded glass require your attention! Cocktail Glasses If your taste buds were in good hands, you know what wonders an expert bartender can create. In a skilled hand, the most common alcoholic beverages can merge to create taste and sight-worthy cocktails. However that could still be subject to the chosen cocktail glasses. Among the classic and speciality cocktail glasses their still remains the art of decorating the drink. Still, if one stays true to the experience, glasses can elevate it at any given point of time. Paper / Plastic Glasses Though this one doesn’t fall into any category or isn’t even a specific category by itself, plastic glasses find a place in this list. If you are wondering why, let your college party play a recap in your mind and you would know where this is coming from. Yes, a big crowd is often unconcerned about what they have in hand and where it will end up once the drink is gone down to their gut. If you have selectively chosen your glassware, you are unlikely to hand it over to anyone who doesn’t really care about it, aren’t you? So for a large scale party that could also go wild and out of hand, you need to keep the option of plastic glassware open. Why do people have collections of glassware? People can be very peculiar and get addictive to not only experience but also to the container that holds key to that experience. Various reasons lead them to stock glassware subject to their appearance, utility, antiquity, special attachment and just plain obsession. Some writers are known to be researching on French style of eating and dining for their novel end up looking at and followed by buying the glassware of those times or at least inspired from them. So, there’s no stopping of these people once they make up their mind, which also is true for collecting glassware to showcase and fine dining and drinking experience!
