you should probably be aware that for many drinks (especially intense liquors and beers), many of the producers have designed a custom glass to optimize the features of their particular drink. For example, the Trappist monasteries each have custom glasses for EACH of their beers. And Belgians take using the right glass for beer quite seriously.

Because I had to look up stange.

Pint, Tulip, Stange, Weizen, Flute, Oversized Wine, Pilsner, Chalice, Snifter, Mug

yes im aware of this, so if that is the case on some drinks that i have on hand i will probably get the glass. im just wondering if there is any general use glassware i missed, so i can fill my home bar, i already have quite a few glasses on my list

Wow that pic covers a lot not including the proprietary glasses for breweries. Thanks for posting it.

lol ive seen that before, although its hard to find the normal solo cups anymore, they changed most of them to the squared ones for better grip or whatever the hell they said. although i guess its kinda cool you can get them in so many colours now...

and that pilsner may be a pokal glass, pokal is simply a european pilsner glass with a stem like that. although im not sure

anyone ever use these? are they just a gimmick or do they really help enhance the flavour and aroma

Certainly not a conventional glass, but it does give more enclosed space to fit your nose (if you tip it the right way!). However, if you want to capture smells, the best option is a semi-enclosing curve, such as a tulip or snifter. Can't see anything that glass would contribute to flavor, other than the effects from aroma. In fact, for beer, the long stem is generally a detriment, as you want to be able to warm the beer with your hand while you drink it to release differing aspects of its character.

you can get ones with or without stems, i was just wondering if the angle of the glass will enhance the aroma enough for it to consider buying, or if it would look like some novelty thing sitting in my home bar, i mean it looks like for certain beers it would be decent.
