Speciality glassware

How do I care for different types of glasses?

Looking after your glassware means they’ll stay sparkling and ready for the next occasion. Different shapes need slightly different care:

• Stemmed glasses (like martini glasses and coupes): hand-wash in warm water, holding by the bowl rather than the stem to avoid pressure breaks.
• Beer glasses: often dishwasher safe, but check the product details. Rinse well to avoid detergent residue that can affect the foam.
• Snaps glasses: quick to wash and dry thanks to their small size, making them easy to keep ready for guests.

General tips:

• Use a soft cloth for drying to prevent streaks.
• Store upright on a shelf, or upside down for stability if space is tight.
• Avoid stacking delicate glasses to protect their rims.

How can cocktail glasses elevate everyday moments?

It’s not only about special occasions. The right glass can turn small rituals into little celebrations.

• A martini in a proper glass feels more sophisticated than the same drink in a tumbler.
• Serving champagne or prosecco in a coupe creates instant glamour, even on a Tuesday night.
• Beer in a well-shaped glass tastes fresher and stays cooler for longer.
• Snaps glasses can make after-dinner toasts feel both traditional and fun.

Adding a few carefully chosen cocktail glasses to your kitchen means you’re always ready to share, celebrate, or simply enjoy your favourite drinks in style.
