Which glass for which drink?

Choosing the right glasses for your drinks isn’t exactly a science, but there are good reasons and quite a bit of knowledge and experience behind what drink goes in what glass. No worries, we've got you covered.

Fizzy drinks taste best in flutes

Sparkling and carbonated drinks are best served in tall glasses with a small mouth, like flute glasses. This gives the drink a small surface area which helps preserve the bubbles and stops it from going flat too quickly.      

Bowl size matters

A large bowl brings more oxygen into contact with the drink and lets it breathe, releasing complex flavours and aromas. Decanting in a carafe can help jump start this process before you pour. Keeping drinks with a lighter aroma cool and fresh for longer is easier in long stem glasses with smaller bowls.

At STORSINT, I wanted to create a series of glasses that will make drinking more enjoyable and will be used on various occasions for many years.
