Form vs Function

Gibraltar, tall, rocks, shooter, executive... For beginners, these terms can get confusing and run into each other, but it's much more simple when you break it all into two groups: Styles and Sizes.

Glassware Styles

Style

 

is how the glass

 

looks, and each style can encompass a large range of

 

sizes. For example, with the classic

 

Gibraltar

 

glasses have eight lower facets with a smooth upper rim no matter what size. Ex. Gibraltar

 

Shot, Gibraltar

 

Rocks, Gibraltar

 

Tall.

Gibraltar:

 

Eight lower facets with rounded tops, and smooth upper area.
Executive:

 

Five lower facets that blend into smooth upper area.
Regular/Smooth:

 

"Plain" glasses with conical or cylindrical cross section.
Liberty:

 

Smaller base flares below mid-section.

Basic Sizes

The

 

Size

 

of glasses can be influenced by

 

usage.

 

For example,

 

Highball

 

glasses are intended for medium-sized traditional highballs (alcohol plus mixer) and cocktails (mixed alcohols) and come in

 

Gibraltar

 

and

 

Executive

 

sizes.

In addition to these size types there are of course specialty glassware and stemware, usually intended for

 

specific drinks

 

(i.e. Cocktail or "Martini" Glass, Wine Glass, Beer Mug). See the guide below for details.
