All the Essentials
Choose the Right Glass for the Task
Tumblers &
Drinking Glasses
Tumblers and other drinking glasses are
everyday essentials. For plenty of creative
options, you'll find this durable, versatile
glassware in a variety of sizes, shapes,
styles and colors. Some are crafted of
tempered glass, which makes them
perfect for both hot and cold beverages.
Red Wine Glasses
Count on these glasses to showcase your
favorite red wines – from an assertive
Cabernet to a mellow Merlot, classic Pinot
Noir or full-bodied Zinfandel. The large
bowl is customized to highlight unique
flavors as it allows the wine's full bouquet
to develop, eliciting every nuance of
distinctive aromas.
White Wine Glasses
These glasses are designed to enhance
your favorite white wines – from a dry
Chardonnay or crisp Sauvignon Blanc to
a bright, fruity Riesling. The customized
bowl showcases the wine's distinctive
flavors and aromas, while the tall stem
keeps the bowl from being warmed by
your hand.
Stemless Wine Glasses
These ultra-versatile wine glasses are
great for both casual gatherings and
relaxed everyday sipping. The stemless
bowls have a classic shape that enhances
the flavor, aroma and enjoyment of all
your favorite wines, including reds, whites
and rosés.
Champagne Flutes
The elegant silhouette of a tall, slender
Champagne flute is designed to highlight
the legendary sparkling wine's
distinctive bouquet – and preserve its
festive bubbles. Use it for serving French
Champagnes and other sparkling wines,
as well as cocktails featuring either of
these classics.
Water Glasses
Water glasses are classic additions to
both casual and more formal table
settings. Available in a variety of styles
from elegant goblets to sleek tumblers,
they're great for serving still or sparkling
mineral waters. Or use them to hold
beverages like fruit juice, iced tea or
lemonade.
Wine & Spirit Decanters
Decanters are a time-honored way to
aerate wines, a technique that enhances
both red and white varietals. They're
also used for pouring and serving wine
at the table. Designed to showcase the
beautiful color of fine liquors, spirit
decanters are intended for presentation
and serving.
Wine Gift Sets
These customized sets make great gifts
for any wine lover (including yourself).
Offered at special values, they typically
include anywhere from two to eight
glasses. Wine glasses may share a single
shape – or the set may include shapes for
different wines. A decanter may also be
featured.
Old-Fashioned
Also known as rocks glass, this short,
wide glass is a cocktail hour favorite –
great for all sorts of classic drinks
(including the old-fashioned, from which
it derives its name). Use it for serving
spirits or cocktails over ice, as well as
fruit juice, milk and other soft drinks.
Highball
A highball glass has long been a
traditional part of the cocktail hour. Its
tall, slender shape is great for serving
cocktails like mojitos, Bloody Marys,
screwdrivers and gin-and-tonics. Or
use this versatile glass for nonalcoholic
refreshers like sodas, lemonade and
iced tea.
Martini & Coupe
The iconic martini glass is known for its
flared conical bowl and a slender,
elegant stem that keeps your hand from
warming your drink. Use it for classic
cocktails like martinis, cosmopolitans
and gimlets. A gracefully curved coupe
glass is ideal for serving champagne,
sparkling wines and cocktails alike.
Margarita
Use these stemmed glasses to serve
margaritas – blended, straight-up or on
the rocks. Wide, shallow bowls have
thick rims to hold the sea salt garnish,
while stems keep your hands from
warming the frosty cocktail. Available
in classic glass and ultra-durable
polycarbonate versions.
Spirits & Liqueur
Aficionados of fine spirits often prefer a
specialized glass that's designed to
showcase the unique flavors and
aromas of their preferred drink – from
brandy and cognac to single-malt
whiskeys. This is also true for liqueurs
and cordials, which are traditionally
served in petite, elegant glasses.
Beer Glasses
From tall, tapering glasses to sturdy
mugs, this versatile glassware is just
what you need for serving for beers,
ales, porters and stouts, either bottled or
fresh from the tap. Choose all-purpose
mugs or pint glasses – or opt for styles
designed for specific varieties, such as
pilsners, IPAs and wheat beers.
Drink Dispensers
& Pitchers
Classic pitchers and beverage dispensers
make it easy for everyone to help
themselves. Great for use indoors or out,
they're just right for serving all
sorts of cool, refreshing drinks – from iced tea,
lemonade and infused waters to sangria
and margaritas.
