Although traditionally associated with brandy, snifters also work wonders with certain beers. With its wide bowl and tapered lip, the snifter captures volatiles so well it should be the glassware of choice when serving strong ales, stouts and double stouts, and Belgian dark ales.

Seventeenth century drinking glasses and glassware were actually considered to be extravagant luxuries of the time. Only in refined, wealthy circles were wine, ale, spirits, and cordials drunk from delicate, finely blown glasses.

As beer glassware goes, goblets are more ornamental than functional. Still, you can find utility the goblet's round bowl and wide mouth, which maintains the beer's head while offering a lip area that enables long sips.

If you find your glassware has stuck together after stacking them two- or three-high in the cupboard, try dripping dish soap or cooking oil between the glasses. Let the liquid work its way down the sides, then gently wiggle the glasses apart.

Did you know that a lot of your food and drinks come in glass bottles for a reason? Brown glass is used most often for food or drink containers, especially beer, because the amber tint reflects ultraviolet light and protects the product against spoilage.

Modern advancements in wine making may have removed the need to use a decanter every time wine is being prepared to serve. However, the elegant touch of a full decanter sitting quietly on a table or sideboard adds a special note to every gathering.

The stems on wine glasses are there for a specific reason – to keep the wine at the appropriate temperature while the glass is being held. When a hand wraps around the bowl, body heat will transfer to the wine.

When drying wine glasses by hand, be careful. The delicacy of the glass can cause it to break if it is twisted around the towel. Instead, gently turn the towel inside the glass while it is stationary, and wipe the outside without rotating the glass.
