It is useful to know: what are they drinking from?

Table etiquette is unimaginably interesting, butat the same time an extremely complicated thing. If you look at the table, served according to all necessary canons, your eyes will scatter already at the stage of looking at all kinds of instruments, what can we say about a variety of glasses, glasses, wine glasses. Let's discuss what is drunk from all the norms of etiquette.

At home, this is certainly not for everyoneActually - most often we manage to get a glass-glass-glass. But sometimes it happens that in the long term visit a formal event, whether it's a corporate party, a business lunch in a restaurant, a reception on the occasion of important guests or someone else's wedding. In these cases, it is not at all superfluous to know which glasses are intended for which drinks.

Usually, there are three types of drinking containers: glasses, wine glasses and wine glasses.

- Glasses are thin-walled vessels for drinks.They can be for champagne (such a glass of elongated conical shape or looks like a croissant), for fruit and berry juices, cocktails based on fruits and milk, as well as for wine and beer.

- Glasses - glassware, used for water or fruit drinks. They look like a glass on a high leg.

- Glasses - glasses on a small leg of a smallvolume, intended for strong spirits (vodka, Madeira, cognac, Reyntveyn, liqueurs). Also under this category are containers for cocktails or strong drinks without a leg, which are called a stack or shot.

So, what are they drinking from?Wine, like champagne, is drunk, undoubtedly, from glasses. For different types of wine, the shape of the glasses will vary. Also it should be remembered that in a glass white wine is poured on 2/3 of a volume, and red - only on 1/3. And it's quite a gross mistake to use wine from narrow champagne glasses.

For beer, there are equally three typesutensils: glasses, mugs and glasses. What is the difference? The easiest way to understand what is drunk in this case is to remember that the mug is a man's tank for draft beer. From the glasses beer is drunk by ladies, and the glasses are not intended for draft beer, but for bottles.

Glasses and wine glasses for non-alcoholic cocktails andwater can be of various shapes. If the glass is on the stem, it usually has a straight shape and a volume of 200 milliliters. A glass without a leg can slightly expand upwards or can have a straight, high shape (such glasses are called highball and are often used for serving cocktails or other strong drinks).

For hot alcoholic drinks such as grog, krushona or mulled wine, as well as for alcoholic cocktails based on tea or coffee, special glass bowls with handles are used.

In the case of wine glasses, what are they drinking from, quiteunderstandably. For different alcoholic drinks they differ in form. Glasses for cognac, for example, have a clear pear-shaped shape and a volume of 25 to 125 milliliters. Depending on the context, cognac is served in small or large forms - and a large one is designed for long "kissing" of the drink after a conversation or a game of playing cards. Cognac is poured into it on 1/4 volume, no more.

Glasses for vodka can be both on legs, andpiles of various shapes. For cocktails usually use smooth cylindrical shots without a leg, but with a handle, up to 100 milliliters. Whiskey is often served in special glasses with a thick bottom of a straight form. But liqueur glasses always have a small foot, but they differ very intricate shapes.
