A tumbler can come in a few sizes. The shorter ones can be used for water, juices, soda, and a few alcoholic drinks like whiskey-on-the-rocks. The taller tumblers can be used for a wide variety of drinks too, but they are especially suited for drinks that require a lot of ice cubes.

Beer mugs are the classic glassware for any watering hole. They come in all shapes and sizes, some even have “dimples” or indentions. In a way, beer mugs function like stemmed glasses because their handles keep the drinker's hand from warming up the beer.

To be enjoyed in its fullest, white wine should be served in smaller bowled glassware. Smaller glasses tend to maintain a cooler temperature, extract more acidity, and deliver more aromas to the nose.

Often confused with pilsner glasses, Weizen glasses have strong, narrow bases that have a distinctive curve at the top. Able to hold about half a liter, it’s designed primarily for Weizenbiers or wheat beers, thus the name.
