We’ve just been sent an infographic which gave us a bit of a different perspective when it comes to your next DIY bartender experience.

Put together by Wine Cellar Innovations, the infographic shows in simple terms the different glasses that you should turn to for 65 drinks. That’s right, not all glasses are equal.

Sure, as we’re growing up in student houses, we’re used to paper cups (some of us might stretch to plastic). However, once we start to mature, our drinking choices change (and we’re not just talking about the quantity). If you are serious about providing the optimum drinking experience for your next house party, some of the revelations in this infographic should be taken into account.

We’ll let you dissect the infographic (and all of the accompanying information on the page) shortly, but let’s firstly coin some examples. Starting with wine, the graphic shows seventeen different glasses and the different uses for each. In the case of Pinot Noir, this is a glass that tapers at the top, with this design ensuring that the liquid is subjected to more air which should enhance its taste. Suffice to say, when we are busy guzzling down our favorite wines, few of us think of such engineering!

Of course, wine is just the tip of the iceberg and there is a lowdown on every beverage that you can think about. 

For many of us, a pint is a pint, but after looking at this infographic we’re going to view beer a little differently. Sure, we’ve seen the difference between Irish pint glasses and Pilsner ones, but the reasons are interesting. In the case of the former, the glass is designed to taper out to enhance that foamy head that goes alongside this type of beer. Then, with the Pilsner glass, this is designed to be as tall as can be to enhance the taste again.

As you mull through the infographic, you’ll see all sorts of revelations about the different types of drinks, whether they are cocktails, whiskeys or plain spirits. It’s certainly food for thought, and we’ll leave you to cast your eyes at the full graphic here:
