Spirit glasses

Compared to wine glasses, drinking glasses for spirits generally have a significantly smaller volume due to the lower pouring quantities. As with wines, the shape of these glasses is designed to bring out the flavours particularly well. There are special shapes for brandy, cognac, grappa, schnapps and whisky. A simple shape is the Stamperl, which is commonly used in Austria and Bavaria (Germany).

Spirituosengläser - Brandy, Cognac, Grappa, Schnaps, Whisky

Glasses: Riedel from the Vinum series
