There’s something magical about glasses, and the material glass itself, the sound of wine glasses clinking together for a toast, light reflected in a water glass creating a rainbow on the breakfast table, and the knowledge that the glasses we're drinking from were once a kind of sand, then a scorching hot, liquid substance, and now a solid part of the tableware that we use every day.
The magic of glass
When we set the table, whether it's for Thursday night's dinner, a big birthday celebration or a quiet lunch at the home office, the glasses often are what catches our eyes first, and that's why the right kind of wine glasses, champagne glasses, regular drinking glasses and everything in-between will make all the difference for your table setting. Here at Boozt, we've put together a selection of glasses for all occasions, budgets and styles. Explore beautiful glass-design from brands such as Iittala , Orrefors and Holmegaard and bring more of that sparkling magic to your table.
Improved taste with the right glasses
No matter what you're drinking, the glass you're drinking from makes a significant difference. Think about how it can feel almost wrong to drink something from a glass that doesn't have the right shape or size. This isn't just because we've decided that white wine glasses are for white wine, champagne glasses are for champagne and other sparkling wines, and whisky glasses are for whisky, there’s real science behind the shape and size of these. If you've decided to splurge on a really good bottle of Chablis or Merlot, choosing the right glasses can actually improve the taste experience. The reason is that the shape of the glass affects how scent particles are carried to your nose when you're drinking from a glass, which in turn affects the taste of your wine. The same goes when you're deciding on which whisky glasses, gin glasses and beer glasses to invest in. Of course, this is also the case for drinks without alcohol, so if you're planning to spoil your brunch guests with an elaborate selection of freshly squeezed juice and ginger shots, having a varied collection of drinking glasses, cocktail glasses, shot glasses and martini glasses will definitely bring all the flavours alive in the best possible way.
