Glassware – Cocktail to Coffee Glasses
Posted: Nov 13, 2009 |
]]>
All catering establishments, bars and pubs require glassware to serve a variety of beverages and desserts from. There are many different types, including stemware, tumblers and pint glasses, ice cream and dessert glasses, coffee glasses and jugs.
Glass stemware includes clear wine glasses, coloured wine glasses, cocktail glasses, champagne flutes, sherry glasses and brandy glasses. These all traditionally have different shapes. Red wine glasses have a wide bowl that increases the surface area in contact with air and increases the rate of oxidation, desirable for red wines. Conversely, champagne flutes have tall, thin bowls to reduce the surface area, retaining the attractive bubbles associated with champagne. There are modern and traditional styles of stemware, some with short stems and some with long stems. Long stems are usually desirable for white wine glasses as this enables the drinker to hold the stem and not heat up the wine with their hands. Nisbets stock the best brands of glassware including Schott Zwiesel. There are also cheap wine glasses for those on a strict budget.
Tumblers have no stem or foot at their base. They include 1 pint glasses, pony glasses, highball glasses, juice glasses, iced tea glasses, water glasses and shot glasses. Pint glasses in Britain hold an imperial pint, which is 20 fluid ounces. It is the standard measurement in the UK for beer and cider. An American pint glass is smaller and holds 16 fluid ounces.
Pint glasses come in different shapes. Nonic, conical and tulip shapes are the most traditional. These often come in half pint measurements too. Nonic beer glasses have a bulge near the top, making them stronger and less likely to slip out of the holder’s hand. There are also stemmed beer glasses which vary in capacity but are usually less than the standard British pint.
Coffee glasses resemble mugs as they have a handle. They can have flat bases like mugs, but latte glasses and Irish coffee glasses have short stems. Irish coffee contains coffee, brown sugar and cream.
Ice cream, sorbet and dessert glasses are usually either decorative glass bowls or tall goblets with short stems. The latter are often called Knickerbocker glory goblets as they are frequently used to serve the well known dessert of the same name.
Disposable glassware is another option that is ideal for catering events or outdoor events. It is less prone to breakage than glass and does not weigh as much, so it is a good choice when it requires transporting to venues. They are also cheap, making them more expendable. Nisbets stock both polystyrene and polycarbonate glasses that are reusable.
Storing and caring for glass properly is important to keep it looking pristine and avoid chipping and breakage. For transportation, glassjacks are the ideal choice as they have dividers between each item, stopping the glasses knocking against each other and causing damage.
