Schott Zwiesel Convention – Reliable Glassware for Every Table

A simple tumbler or highball glass is ideal for water and everyday drinks. Look for a comfortable size (10-14 oz) that fits in your hand. Schott Zwiesel’s Basic Bar and Convention lines offer durable tumblers that are dishwasher-safe.

Yes! The shape of a beer glass affects the beer’s aroma, carbonation, and head retention. For example, a pint glass is versatile, while a tulip glass traps aromas and enhances the flavor of craft beers. A German beer goblet is perfect for lagers. Choose the shape that matches your favorite brew.

Port wine is best in a small tulip glass. Grappa and cognac are served in snifters or balloon glasses. Whiskey can be enjoyed in a rocks glass, a highball glass, or a Glencairn glass for nosing. Each shape enhances the drinking experience.

For red wine, use a larger glass with a wide bowl to allow for aeration. For white wine, use a smaller glass with a narrower bowl to preserve the wine’s cooler temperature and delicate aromas. For example, a Burgundy glass for Pinot Noir, a Bordeaux glass for Cabernet Sauvignon, and a white wine glass for Chardonnay.
