Schott Zwiesel Banquet – Elegant Glassware for Celebrations

For red wine, select a glass with a larger bowl to allow more oxygen to interact with the wine, softening tannins and enhancing aromas. For white wine, choose a smaller glass with a narrower bowl to preserve the wine’s cooler temperature and delicate bouquet. For example, use a Burgundy glass for Pinot Noir and a white wine glass for Sauvignon Blanc.

A standard pour is about 5 ounces (150 ml). This fills the glass to the widest point of the bowl, allowing you to swirl the wine without spilling and enjoy its full aromatics.

Port is best in a small, tulip-shaped glass. Grappa and cognac are served in snifters to concentrate the aromas. Whiskey can be enjoyed in a rocks glass or a Glencairn glass, which is shaped to enhance the nose. Each glass type is designed to maximize your drinking pleasure.

Absolutely. The shape influences the beer’s aroma, carbonation, and foam retention. A pint glass is versatile, a tulip glass captures aromas, and a goblet enhances the flavor of Belgian ales. Choose the right shape to elevate your beer-drinking experience.
