Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the main difference between a sherry glass and a standard wine glass?
A: A sherry glass is smaller and has a more pronounced taper (a "tulip" shape). This is because fortified wines like sherry and port have higher alcohol content and more intense aromas, so they are served in smaller quantities. The shape is designed to concentrate those aromas for a better tasting experience.
Q: What specific drinks should I serve in this glass?
A: They are perfect for all styles of Sherry (Fino, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Oloroso), Port (Ruby, Tawny, Vintage), and other dessert wines like Sauternes, Icewine, or Madeira.
Q: What does "aperitif" mean?
A: An aperitif is an alcoholic drink served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. Dry sherry is a classic example. A "digestif," like port, is served after a meal to aid digestion. This glass is perfect for both.
Q: How are the glasses delivered?
A: To ensure they arrive safely and ready for your tables, all of our glassware is professionally cleaned, sanitized, and packed in sturdy, sectioned glassware racks for easy transport and distribution at your event.
