6. Juliska White White wine glasses’ bowls will be more U-shaped and upright than those of reds, allowing the aromas to be released while also maintaining a cooler temperature. 7. Juliska Red The bowls of red wine glasses will be fuller and rounder with a larger opening, so drinkers can dip their noses into the glass to detect aroma, and to ensure that the wine comes into contact with more air. 8. Waterford Rocks Commonly referred to as a “lowball” or “Old Fashioned glass,” the rocks glass is short, stout and a staple at any home or commercial bar. 9. Waterford Pilsner Tall, slim and tapered in a way that often resembles a trumpet, the pilsner glass captures the sparkling colors, clarity and carbonation of those paler beers, while retaining the head and enhancing volatiles. 10. Moser Shot A small glass designed to hold or measure spirits or liquor. (Glasses this page from BC Clark)
