The Thistle, a Scottish version of the Tulip Glass, is a slightly taller, curvier glass. It has the bulbous body on a stem, with a flare at the mouth. It is typically used for robust, hoppy, malty, aromatic brews like Scottish Ales, Imperial IPAs, and Belgian Ales.

Tulip glass is designed with a bulbous body and a slightly flared rim. The wide body allows for the swirling of aromas. And the flared rim assists in the head retention. The Tulip is best for Belgian ales, and aromatic beer styles.

Chardonnay and especially Oaked Chardonnay glasses, are designed with a larger bowl, this shape better emphasizes creamy textures of full-bodied wines because of the wider mouth. The inward curve also concentrates and channels the more volatile aromas that needs more space to ‘breathe’. It is best used for heavy, full-bodied, higher alcohol beers like Imperial Stout, and Weizenbock.

Teku is a glass designed by two Italian beer experts, Teo Musso and Lorenzo “Kuaska” Dabove (from whom the name “Teku” was derived), the Teku glass is designed to be the best all-rounder glass for any beer style. The long stem helps to keep the beers at optimal temperatures, while the design of the glass is intended to capture and release the beer aromas via the outward curve. Teku is appropriate for a wide variety of styles, but its design really shines especially for sour beers and strongly aromatic beers.

Red Wine glasses are typically designed to balance the bitterness of tannins or spicy flavours to deliver a smoother tasting wine. It is bigger than its white counterpart, and its job is to soften ‘spicy’ flavours by letting it hit the tongue more progressively from the smaller opening and larger bowl. Darker, roasted malt beers really benefit from this balancing feature. It is great for English Porter and Stouts.
