3 01 GLASSWARE GUIDE for wine enthusiasts As many seasoned sommeliers will tell you, even if expertly uncork a wine bottle and perfectly pour a glass, if you re using the wrong glassware, you re diminishing the experience of that glass of wine. In addition to expert opinion, scientific studies show a correlation between glass shape and a drink s flavor, aroma, body, temperature, and even the way people drink it. With hundreds of different glass types to choose from, you may be thinking How can I possibly know what glasses to stock with my wine and memorize every single pairing? Don t fret, we re here with a full breakdown of the glasses you ll probably need on your bar. Make sure your vino is landing in the right port.

4 The Basic Wine Glass You may know that wine goes in a wine glass. But, do you know why? A wine glass is made of four basic parts: the rim, bowl, stem, and foot. STARTER PACK RED WINE RED WINE RIM The size of the rim and the thinness of the rim s material can affect the wine s taste and temperature. The stem allows people to hold their wine glass without transferring heat from their hands, helping to maintain a wine s intended serving temperature. A wine glass s bowl helps to capture and spread a wine s aroma and the foot allows the drink to stand upright. BOWL If you ve got the basics down, you re in good shape. However, although their main parts are similar, not all wine glasses are exactly the same. If you re looking to provide customers with a top-notch experience, the type of wine you re serving should dictate which specific type of wine glass to use. STEM FOOT

5 Red Wine When you re serving a nice red, you should use a larger wine glass with a full, round bowl and a large opening. A red wine glass should have a large surface area to give the wine more contact with the air and allow for more flavor and aroma to release. It also provides a customer with enough space to dip his or her nose into the glass to get a good whiff! STARTER PACK RED WINE RED WINE BORDEAUX The Bordeaux glass is designed for heavy, full-bodied wines and its bowl is smaller than a standard red wine glass. To maximize the flavor, the glass is taller so the wine proceeds directly to the back of the mouth. You can use this glass for syrah, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and other rich, strong wines. Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Syrah Merlot Malbec If you want to go a step further than a simple red wine glass, you can stock your bar with Bordeaux, Burgundy, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and/or Port glasses. BURGUNDY The Burgundy glass is designed for lighter, full-bodied wines like Pinot Noir. This glass is shorter than the Bordeaux glass but it has a bigger bowl so the wine is directed to the tip of the tongue so the drinker can taste the more delicate flavors. Pinot Noir Barbaresco Baralo Barbera Red Burgundy PINOT NOIR The Pinot Noir glass also has a tapered lip and a wide bowl but the stem is shorter compared to other red wine glasses. Pinot Noir

6 SHIRAZ The Shiraz glass stands out from other wine glasses because it s significantly tapered inwards, it has a wide base and bowl, and it has a mid-sized stem. These features are supposed to first present fruit aromas, followed by the tannin flavors. Syrah Amrone Barbera Atelier Barolo STARTER PACK RED WINE RED WINE PORT The Port glass features a small, slim bowl and a shorter stem. The smaller bowl size makes it so the strong smells don t overwhelm the pepper, black currant, and oak flavors. The glass is designed with a short stem so the drinker s hand warms the wine as he or she sips, helping to enhance the flavor. Port Madeira Colheita Noilly Prat Vinsato

7 White Wine The bowl of a white wine glass is more vertical, has more of a U shape, and a generally smaller mouth area than a red wine glass. Because it is usually served cold, this glass shape allows white wine to maintain a cooler temperature while still allowing aromas to be released. The wine also aerates less so it retains more delicate and lighter notes. STARTER WHITE PACK WINE WHITE WINE CHARDONNAY The white wine glass described on the previous page is also referred to as a Chardonnay glass, which is sometimes considered the all-purpose white wine glass because it is versatile and appropriate for any dry, light wine such as Pinot Grigio. Chardonnay Pinot Grigio White Burgundy White Bordeuax Pinot Blanc Like red wine glasses, there are a variety of white wine glasses. If you want to stock your bar with a variety of white wine glasses, consider using Montrachet, Sauvignon Blanc, and/or Riesling glasses. As a side note, keep in mind younger white wine is usually best served in a white wine glass with a slightly bigger opening so the wine is directed to the tip and the sides of the tongue to accentuate its sweetness. More mature white wines are usually best served in taller and straighter glasses so the wine is dispensed to the back and the sides of the tongue in order to taste the bolder flavors. MONTRACHET The Montrachet glass is used to improve Montrachet Chardonnay. The glass has a larger bowl so the drinker can better smell the complex aromas. It also has a wider rim to direct the wine to the edges of the tongue so the wine s sour and acidic flavors are accentuated. Montrachet White Burgundy Corton-Charlemange Meursault SAUVIGNON BLANC Another white wine glass is the Sauvignon Blanc glass. This type of glass is designed for more fruity white wines. This glass is tall and it has a slender bowl to help focus the floral and fruit aromas. Its narrow mouth helps deliver the aroma straight to the nose and spotlight the front of the tongue. In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, this glass can also be used for wines like White Bordeaux or Loire. Sauvignon Blanc White Bordeaux Chenin Blanc Fume Blanc Loire

8 RIESLING The Riesling glass is smaller, taller and more narrow than a typical Chardonnay glass. This helps to keep the fruity aroma at the top of the wine glass and it directs the wine to the back of the mouth so the drinker isn t overwhelmed with sweetness. Riesling Zinfandel Sauvignon Blanc Gruner Veltliner STARTER WHITE PACK WINE WHITE WINE

9 Sparkling Wine Sparkling wine (Asti, Cava, Champagne, Prosecco) should be served in an upright glass that is narrower than an average wine glass in order to maintain the carbonation and flavor. Depending on the type of sparkling wine you serve and your customer s personal preference, you may want to stock Coupes, Champagne Flutes, and Champagne Tulips. STARTER SPARKLING PACK WINE SPARKLING WINE COUPE/SAUCER The oldest type of champagne glass is called the Coupe or the Saucer. This glass was most popular during the roaring 20s and it has a stylish, wide, and shallow bowl. Although it is often used for its vintage look, this style of glass is not as popular as it once was because it is not able to capture the qualities of today s champagne. Due to its shallow bowl, the bubbles and the aromas dissipate quickly. Champagne Cava Franciacorta Prosecco FLUTE Both classic and classy, the Champagne Flute is a popular choice for serving sparkling wine. Contrary to the Coupe, due to its design, the Champagne Flute successfully delivers fizz to the senses. The glass features a rough bead at the base,which causes the carbon dioxide bubbles to congregate and rapidly rise. This type of glass is great for younger wines. However, it may limit the complex flavors and aromas of older wines. Champagne Cava Franciacorta Prosecco

10 TULIP The Champagne Tulip is similar to the Flute but it has a larger bowl space. It gets its name because it s shaped like a tulip flower with a slim base opening into a wide bowl and narrowing slightly towards the aperture. Much like the flute, this design allows for lots of bubbles, but because the Tulip has a larger aperture it helps the bubbles hit the right regions of the tongue instead of going up a drinker s nose. This larger opening also allows for more aeration and thus more flavors and aromas. Champagne Cava Franciacorta Prosecco STARTER SPARKLING PACK WINE SPARKLING WINE

11 02 STARTER PACK BEER BEER GLASSWARE GUIDE for beer enthusiasts (and cider, too) Experts like Ray Daniels, the creator and director of the Cicerone Certification Program and president of the Craft Beer Institute, agree that glassware is essential for an elevated beerdrinking experience. If a customer asks for an imperial stout, do you know what glass to pour it in? What if he orders a saison or a hop-forward beer? Stop serving every beer in the same glass! Take a look at the list to diversify your beer (and cider) glass collection. Match the perfect head to the perfect kind of glass.

12 The Basic Beer Glass Wondering what terms to use to describe the different parts of a basic beer glass how these parts relate to the beer it contains? STARTER PACK BEER BEER LIP When you serve a beer, the head sits at the top near the lip or mouth of the glass and the body of the beer takes up the body or bowl of the glass. The base of the glass keeps the beer steady and upright when it s placed down on the bar or table. Although the shape and size of beer glassware can widely vary, every beer glass can be identified by these three basic parts. BODY BASE

13 SHAKER PINT The pint glass, or the standard pub shaker, gets a bad rap among most beer enthusiasts. These glasses weren t intended for beer. They were originally used behind the bar to shake cocktails. In the post-prohibition era when American beers were less alcoholic and bland, people started using the pint glass for beer. This practice stuck. If you re serving a finely crafted beer in a pint glass, your customer s grip will warm the beer very quickly and he won t fully experience the full aroma or the proper head. With many craft beers these days coming in around 8% abv, filling up a standard pint glass would be a bit over the top. Although the pint glass is often criticized, it remains a staple of the American bar scene because it is durable, stackable, easy to clean, and beer companies often provide them free of charge. If you re trying to use these bad boys, grab one when a patron orders an easy going beer like an Amber Ale, Pale Ale, American Lager or Bocks. Amber Ales Pale Ales American Lagers Bocks STARTER PACK BEER BEER NONIK PINT This glass is similar to the shaker pint glass but it s slightly more fancy. It has a protruding ring near the top to help with handing and to develop a more substantial head than a shaker pint. By concentrating the aromas of the beer in the head, the first sip is more fragrant. This glass is best used for most American and English styles like Stouts, Pilsners, Brown Ales, and Porters. SAM ADAMS PERFECT PINT Specifically designed to hold Sam Adams Boston Lager, this glass offers beer lovers a full sensory drinking experience. The outward turn of the lip places the beer at the very front of a drinker s palate to maximize the malt s sweetness. The narrow top helps to retain the hop aroma and sustain the head. With thinner walls and a rounder shape, the right beer temperature is maintained and the aromas are gathered in a single place. Finally, the bottom of the glass features a nucleation site (laser etchings) that creates bubbles for a consistent aroma release. Stouts Pilsners Brown Ales Porters Sam Adams Boston Lager

14 SNIFTER Also used for brandy and cognac, this glass has a wide bowl, a tapered mouth, and a stem to help capture the aromas and volatiles of stronger beers. Their shape helps to keep all the aroma in and enhances the nose of malty, complex brews that are usually strong and high in alcohol (ex. anything that starts with Imperial or Double). Imperial IPAs Imperial Stouts Barleywines Strong Ales STARTER PACK BEER BEER TULIP A tulip glass is tulip-shaped (obviously). The glass is stemmed and the top pushes outwards to form a lip, which helps to capture the fluffy head, make the body bulbous, and deliver the beer to the center of the tounge. Ideal for beers that have a complex aroma from the head of the beer, this glass should be used for Belgian styles, Fruit Beers, Red Ales, Lambics, and beers with a strong flavor and nose. Belgian Beers Fruit Beers Red Ales Lambics STANGE This glass originated in Cologne, Germany. It is most often used for Kolsch beer, a style native to Cologne, and it is designed to fit into a tray used by waiters at Cologne beer halls and pubs. The German word, stange, means stick. This glass is similar to a pint glass because it is narrow and cylindrical. However, it s more slim than an average pint glass, helping to preserve the beer s aroma and to amplify hop and malt nuances. In addition to traditional Cologne beers, the Stange is also used for Altbiers, Bocks, and more delicate beers. Altbiers Bocks Czech Pilsners Lambics Rye Beers THISTLE Similar to the Tulip glass, the thistle glass has a stem and a bulb-like bowl. However, this glass is a bit taller and is less curvy around the lip. It was specifically designed for Scottish Ales because Scotland s official flower is a thistle. It s also used for strong brews like Belgian ales, and Double IPAs. The bulb-like bowl lets drinkers swirl around the beer so they can help release the full aromas. PILSNER Scottish Ales Belgian Ales Double IPAs The Pilsner glass holds 12 ounces of beer, making it smaller than some of the other glasses on the list. It has triangular dimensions (almost like a trumpet) to help capture the sparkling colors while still retaining head. Imperial Pilsners Red Lagers Malt Liquors Bocks

15 OVERSIZED WINE This glass is best used for strong, high gravity beers and Belgian Ales. The size of this glass allows for headspace and the bowl helps to create an awesome nose. This glass works much like a Tulip or Goblet. WEIZEN The Wheat Beer glass is much taller than a standard pint glass. It starts out skinny and widens slightly at the top and it has thin, lengthy walls to help showcase the beer s color. This glass is designed to leave room for headspace, which is necessary for the fluffy head of wheat beers. The design also helps to lock in the banana aromas. Double IPAs Imperial IPAs Dark Ales Belgian Ales Wheat Ales Hefeweizens Dunkelweizens STARTER PACK BEER BEER SEIDEL MUG Once popular for its grenade-like appearance, this old-style glass nearly disappeared in the early 2000s. However, it is back in use. An old British tradition, this jug has dimpled sides, a wide mouth, thick glass, and a sturdy handle. It is believed the dimple pattern was introduced merely to use less glass in production. The mug s thick walls help to keep it cool and the handle is great for easy gripping. Many like to drink from them because of their heritage and old-school coolness. Although they are back for now, not everyone is a fan. Some drinkers think the mug is too clunky and has poor head retention and bartenders have trouble storing them because they can t be stacked. Amber/Red Ales Amber/Red Lagers Dark Wheat Ales IPAs Stouts/Porters MUG STEIN Usually the glass of choice at beer halls, this mug is large, durable, and meant to hold a ton of beer. Since the main purpose of this glass is usually drinking large quantities with a group of friends, this glass doesn t focus on bringing out the clarity, carbonation, or aroma of specific beers. It has a large handle for easy-gripping and it s tough enough to take a good clink. Amber/Red Ales Amber/Red Lagers Dark Wheat Ales IPAs Stouts/Porters Often confused with a mug, the beer stein is the same shape but it has a hinged lid. Traditionally, steins were made with a variety of materials like stoneware, silver, wood, and porcelain. This glass originated because it was believed that a lid would make more drinking more sanitary and prevent the bubonic plague. Today, people still use these glasses but they are more like an ornamental or souvenir glass. Brown Ales Red Ales/Lagers Stouts/Porters Malt Liquors

16 GOBLET/CHALICE A goblet is delicate and long stemmed and a chalice is heavy and thick walled. Other than looking super majestic, this type of glass is great for head retention, deep sips, and analyzing aromas. Unlike other glassware, these glasses are found in a variety of sizes. They re best suited for heavy, malty beers like German Bocks and Belgian Ales. Belgian IPAs Belgian Strong Dark Ales German Bocks STARTER PACK BEER BEER FLUTE In addition to holding champagne, this glass s long and narrow body ensures that beer s carbonation doesn t dissipate too quickly. It also showcases the carbonation and color and helps to quickly release volatiles to provide a more intense upfront aroma. Sometimes the stem is a bit shorter than a regular champagne flute, but not always. Use this glass when pouring a Pilsner or a beer that emulates wine. Wild Ales Bocks German Lagers/Pilsners Lambics TEKU Designed by an Italian top craft beer brewer and a sensory analyst, the TeKu glass is supposed to improve the craft beer drinking experience. Although it was originally created and branded for the Baladin brewery, it quickly grew in popularity and is now widely recognized as one of the top beer glasses today. The glass has a unique shape. It s almost a hybrid of a long-stemmed wine glass but it s designed to capture and release a beer s aromas in its outward curve and thin glass. It s been called the true glass for beer geeks. Ales Lagers Porters Stouts IPAs SAMPLER/TASTING These types of glasses are used for, you guessed it, sampling and tasting. These glasses come in different sizes and shapes and they hold only a small amount of beer so you can sample multiple beers without getting intoxicated. You ll often see breweries using these types of glasses as well as your local pub. Ales Lagers Porters Stouts IPAs

17 Hard Cider After more than 100 years in decline, hard cider is now the world s fastest-growing adult beverage. Making a massive comeback, cider production more than tripled from 2011 to A lot of this growth is due to cider rising in popularity outside the U.K. in countries like the U.S., where people are looking for gluten-free options and a taste of something different. With this huge increase in hard cider production, there s a growing need for specialized glassware. Be a frontrunner. Highlight the cider trend and stock your bar with cider-specific glasses. Your customers will be impressed with your expertise and dedication to the drinking experience. Keep in mind, cider glassware is still in its early stages. As the space develops, glassware will likely become more specific to cider types. STARTER PACK CIDER CIDER LIBBEY Utilizing Fizzazz nucleation technology, this glass increases the rich flavors and natural effervescence of hard cider giving the drinker a more beer-like experience. The flared top helps release cider s full aroma palate and its ridges provide a sturdy grip. ORCHARD Specifically designed to showcase cider, this glass helps to deliver crisp, fruit-forward, and fresh apple tastes and aromas. The straight lip of the glass places the cider at the right spot on the palate to showcase the balance between dry and sweet. The wide rounded bowl collects the bright apple aroma and narrows to concentrate the opening to intensify the aroma. The easy-to-hold grip has a smaller surface area so the cider stays cooler for longer. Lastly, the nucleation seed etched in the bottom of the glass slightly enhances the cider s carbonation and it improves aroma and flavor intensity. Hard Ciders Angry Orchard Hard Cider Varieties MIKASA BREWMASTER S This glass shape is designed to enhance the fruity flavors of hard ciders. The shape features a tapered base that easily fits into a drinker s hand. This both helps the drinker from overwarming the glass and holds the cider s carbonation. Hard Ciders

18 03 GLASSWARE GUIDE for cocktail and spirit enthusiasts When it comes to cocktails and spirits, there are a variety of glasses to choose from. Some pairings, like the iconic martini glass, might be more obvious but others might not be so evident. In order to promote a well-rounded drinking experience, you should try to stock your bar with a number of these glasses. Specific glassware will show your patrons that you re serious about the art of alcohol. Here s a full glassware guide to lead you through your cocktail pairings. Shaken or stirred, your creations need the correct agent of delivery.

19 The Basic Cocktail Glass Although people might argue about the extent a glass has on cocktail or spirit taste, there s no denying that beautiful glassware tends to be perceived as being higher quality. Many glasses, like the martini glass, are classic and have been used with certain cocktails for decades. Others, like the more recent NEAT glass, are designed to accentuate the aromas of spirits. COCKTAIL STARTER & PACK SPIRIT COCKTAIL & SPIRIT BRIM BODY Cocktail and spirit glasses come in many different shapes and sizes. For a basic diagram, you can look at a typical glass as having four parts: Brim, Body, Stem, & Foot. STEM FOOT

20 LOWBALL This class is also called the Old Fashioned glass, the rocks glass, or the tumbler. Unlike a mixing glass, this short glass is designed so you can build the cocktail inside the glass it s being served in. The Lowball glass has a thick base to allow ingredients to be muddled in the glass before the spirit is added. Its rim wide brim lets the drinker appreciate the drink s aroma and the shape allows the drink to warm slowly, discretely changing the flavor profile. Avoid using this glass for vodka drinks because vodka is best cold. Typically, this glass is used for smaller, higher-proof pours like hard spiritbased cocktails that have a limited amount of mix or straight spirits with ice (on the rocks). Originally, this glass held two ounces but now there are usually two sizes for a broader cocktail application. Now a standard Low Ball glass holds about 6 10 ounces and a double holds Old Fashioned White Russian Mojito Negroni Whiskey on the Rocks COCKTAIL STARTER & PACK SPIRIT COCKTAIL & SPIRIT HIGHBALL A highball glass, also called the Collins glass or the Delmonico glass, is taller than an Old Fashioned glass. Each name is used to describe a variation of the basic shape: the Highball glass is shorter and wider, the Collins glass is straight and narrow, and the Delmonico is the shortest and somewhat flared. Traditionally, each glass variation is used for a different type of cocktail: the gin fizz going in a Highball, a Tom Collins in a Collins glass, and a Rickey going in a Delmonico glass. Although some mixologists abide by these rules, the important thing to note is tall and narrow shaped glasses are better for keeping a drink cold and carbonated because of the limited surface area. The highball glass is best used for serving highball cocktails, a family of mixed drinks that are made with an alcoholic base spirit and a larger portion of non-alcoholic mixer such as a Rum & Coke or a Gin & Tonic. Rum & Coke Gin & Tonic Dark & Stormy Screwdriver Bloody Mary

21 SHOT This type of glass is for customers who want to take a shot (have a drink in one sip). Usually this drink is simply a single liquor or spirit or for a small extra strength cocktail. Shot glasses come in a variety of shapes and sizes like basic, short, tall, and fluted. You can stock your bar with any variation of these. Tequila Whiskey Fireball COCKTAIL STARTER & PACK SPIRIT COCKTAIL & SPIRIT COSMOPOLITAN A Cosmo glass has an elegant look. It resembles a martini glass but instead of a stem, it has a foot. This glass is great for Cosmopolitans (obviously) and a variety of other cocktails. The tapered design showcases the colors of the cocktail and draws the flavors and aromas to the top. Cosmopolitan Aperitifs SHOOTER If you re serving shooters (strong, small, mixed cocktail), you can use a shooter glass, which is similar to a shot glass but usually about 1 / 2 an ounce or more than 1 ounce bigger. MARTINI Snakebite Water Moccasin Alice in Wonderland Girlscout Cookie SNIFTER This glass is usually used for aged brown spirits such as whiskey, brandy, and fine rums. It has a very short stem so the drinker s hand will slowly warm the drink and a large bowl so the drink can be swirled. The mouth is shorter so the aromas are trapped, allowing the drinker to enjoy a more intense smell as they sip. Whiskey Brandy The Martini glass, also called the Cocktail glass, is an elegant, iconic V-shaped glass with a stem. The V-shape creates a wide brim, allowing for the release of aromas and it helps to hold the structure of the drink so the contents don t separate over time. Because this glass is for drinks that are shaken or stirred without ice, the glass has a thin stem so the drink isn t warmed through body heat. Vodka Martini Gin Martini Vesper Brandy Alexander IRISH COFFEE When serving hot cocktails like an Irish Coffee or a Hot Toddy, you should use an Irish Coffee glass. This glass is made to be heat resistant and it features a handle so the drinker can hold and sip the drink comfortably. Irish Coffee Hot Toddy

22 HURRICANE This glass was developed by New Orleans tavern owner Pat O Brien in the 1940s and named after its hurricane, lamp-like shape. It s used for a variety of drinks, specifically for tropical cocktails. The glass has a curvy and tall shape made up of a tulip-shaped bowl and a bulbous base. It also features a short stem and a small foot. This glass was originally used for the Hurricane Cocktail, a rum-based cocktail, but it is also used for cocktails like the Blue Hawaii and the Piña Colada. MARGARITA This glass is a variant of the classic champagne coupe and it s slightly larger and rounder than a cocktail glass. It has a large, broad-rim so it can hold salt or sugar. This glass is used for frozen drinks like a margarita or a margarita on the rocks. Hurricane Blue Hawaii Piña Colada Lava Flow Margarita on the Rocks Frozen Lime Margarita Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri COCKTAIL STARTER & PACK SPIRIT COCKTAIL & SPIRIT MOSCOW MULE MUG The Moscow Mule has been served in a copper mug since it first appeared in the 1940s. The metal quickly takes on the cold temperature of the drink, offering a cooler sensation to the drinker. The copper and the mug handle help to keep the drink cold for a long period of time and the material is also great at deflecting the heat from the sun. As far as the taste, the copper mug helps to enhance the individual flavors of the vodka, ginger beer, and lime. When the drink is poured, the copper begins to oxidize and slightly boosts the aroma and taste of vodka, the lime juice s acidity is reduced and its tangy citrus notes are heightened, and the ginger beer becomes more bubbly. WHISKEY SOUR This glass is pretty much a shorter version of a wine glass. It s used for drinks with a base spirit, a sweetener, lemon or lime juice, and traditionally egg white like a Whiskey Sour or an Amaretto Sour. The glass has a thick stem to provide stability and a narrow top to boost and intensify drink aromas. Moscow Mule Kentucky Mule Whiskey Sour Amaretto Sour Pisco Sour Kamikaze Sidecar

23 ZOMBIE As you may have guessed, the Zombie glass was originally used to serve a drink called the Zombie, a cocktail invented in the 1930s at the Beachcomber restaurant in Hollywood. The glass is typically taller than other glasses, coming in at around 7 or 8 inches tall and holding between 13 to 14 ounces of liquid. CORDIAL Considered to be an elegant glass, the cordial resembles a wine glass but it s more delicate, thinner, and holds less alcohol. Usually the cordial is used for after-dinner liqueurs or for cocktails at events. Cordials are small because they are meant to be sipped from slowly. They have large bowls that allow you to swish the liquid around to release the flavor and aroma. Zombie Mojito Tom Collins Cordial After-Dinner Liqueur After-Dinner Drink COCKTAIL STARTER & PACK SPIRIT COCKTAIL & SPIRIT NEAT Relying on a number of scientific facts about the behavior of liquid vapor in an open container, the neat glass is making waves in the spirits community. Its tulip-shaped body helps to concentrate the evaporated compounds at the neck. With a broad bulbous shape, it creates a larger surface area allowing for more evaporation. This expedites the release of alcohol vapor and volatile compounds. The flared lip helps to expel lighter vapor and leaves heavier compounds down by the neck, supposedly helping to accentuate aroma compounds with less alcohol burn.
