Raise your glasses: A guide to vintage glassware
October 17, 2009 by Admin
Do you know your snifter from your highball? Vintage drinkers certainly made having a tipple into a delicious art form through an appreciation of the importance of drinking from the correct glass. Today’s rushed lifestyle however, sees many of us guilty of swashing our sherry out of shot glasses, and glugging our grog out of beakers. So if you’d like to put a little more couth into your cocktail and recapture some of the elegance of entertaining, Tara Gardner has this handy guide to glassware – a must-read for all discerning drinkers.
This was JUST LOVELY – thank you Tara! X
Loved your articled on glasses.
Surprised that you say not to wash your Brandy glasses with soap. I have a collection of Waterford Crystal and always give them a final rinse in clean water with a few spoons of vinegar.
They still look good after 20 years.
Sorry, I should have said Champagne as this is the one that you mentioned not to wash with soap but does this apply to Brandy glasses as well. Both glasses would appear to be lead crystal.
