Choose the right glasses for each beverage

A well-chosen glass = a better-selling drink. The shape of the glass influences presentation, temperature and taste perception. Therefore, choosing the right glasses is essential to enhance drinks and offer a personalized customer experience. At Pilsa we offer a wide range adapted to each use. These are the essential elements:

✔︎ Beer glasses. Pint, half pint, jug with or without handle: each size adapts to the beer style (blonde, IPA, brown, etc.). They guarantee good foam retention and a comfortable grip.

✔︎ Wine glasses. Balloon or tulip: these stemmed glasses are designed to promote oxygenation and release aromas, while ensuring a professional tasting experience.

✔︎ Cocktail glasses: old fashioned, tumbler, martini glass… Each cocktail has its specific glass, essential to enhance the presentation and respect the proportions.
