Wine, water, cocktails or spirits? How to choose the right glasses to put on the table

Imagine lifting a glass and discovering a curvaceous line that fits perfectly in your hand, or perhaps an irregular shape that lends a touch of originality to every sip. This is what makes these glasses unique. Each shape and material are specially designed to enhance the characteristics of the contents, be it a cool cocktail or an elegant wine. A heavy glass with a thick mouthpiece will certainly not give us a good tactile impression and may distract from the real star that is instead found inside.

The rules are not many, but it would be good to follow them to undertake good drinking, even outside of elegance at the table.

• The goblet is taken only by its stem, in order to avoid greasing the goblet, heating the product inside, interfering in smells with any products to the hands.
• The only colored glasses allowed are for water and cocktails.
• For cocktails, the choice of glass and garnishes can be tied to the concept of the drink contained within.
  
  

Experts say.

According to a study conducted by industry experts, the choice of glass shape directly affects the consumer's sensory experience. Testimonials from sommeliers and bartenders confirm that a well-designed glass can enhance aromas and flavors, greatly enhancing the tasting experience. Attention towards the right choice of glass, could revolutionize the way we enjoy our favorite beverages even at home. In addition to the functional aspect, innovative design and quality in the choice of one glass over another will increasingly impact the luxury hospitality and restaurant industry, pushing toward a greater focus on the consumer experience.

Bottom line.

Each glass is shaped for a very specific reason: to provide a unique and engaging experience. The quality of the glass remains an essential element, a guarantee of a durable and valuable product. The future will surely hold more surprises in terms of design and innovation in the field of glasses, but one thing is certain: beauty and functionality will always go hand in hand.

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at Palazzo Montemartini, Radisson Collection Hotel, to enjoy the right drink in the right glass together.
