Schott Zwiesel Bar Special – Elevate Your Home Bar

Common types include the martini glass (V-shaped), highball (tall), rocks (short and wide), and coupe (broad, shallow bowl). Use a martini glass for shaken or stirred cocktails without ice, a highball for drinks with ice and mixers, a rocks glass for spirits over ice, and a coupe for champagne or vintage cocktails.

Port wine is best in a small tulip glass. Grappa and cognac are served in snifters or balloon glasses to concentrate aromas. Whiskey is wonderful in a rocks glass, a highball glass, or a Glencairn glass for nosing. Each shape enhances the sipping experience.

Champagne flutes are tall and narrow, preserving carbonation and showcasing the bubbles. Coupes are wide and shallow, which causes bubbles to dissipate faster and allows more oxygen to contact the wine. Choose a flute for sparkling wine to keep the fizz, or use a coupe for a vintage style and classic cocktails.

For water and everyday drinks, a highball glass or a solid tumbler is perfect. They are comfortable to hold, have a good capacity, and are often dishwasher-safe. Schott Zwiesel’s Bar Special line includes elegant options that are durable enough for daily use.
