Registering for Barware

Why is it that no one talks about registering?

I am completely obsessed with barware. I love everything about it. When I was going through all the registry checklists I found on the internet, barware was one of the few sections in which I registered for everything suggested. But barware can be confusing for a lot of people. I've made a list of some of the common items you might find on a registry list and an explanation of what they are. If you have any questions or more information, feel free to contact me!

Beer Mugs- may seem obvious, but these glasses are usually thick, good for clinking and holding large amounts of beverage and have a handle
Champagne Flutes- long and slim, sometimes without a foot; be sure to buy the slender, rather than shallow bowl, because it will keep it bubbly longer
Cooler Glasses- these were the hardest glasses for me to gather information on but I have read in a place or two that these are basically just non-alcoholic beverage glasses, similar to juice glass, only taller to keep drinks cool, such as iced tea
Cordial- occasionally, but incorrectly, referred to as a shot glass, this is a small stemmed glass that holds 2oz. and great for sipping after dinner drinks; if a registry list has cordials but not shot glasses, they most likely are referring to the shot glass
Decanter- this is used for pouring red wines, it has a wider base and narrower neck for allowing the wine to develop by being exposed to oxygen
Double Old Fashioneds- shorter and more squat than a highball glass, these are great for drinks on the rocks
Highball Glasses- sometimes referred to as a Tom Collins, they are great for mixed drinks because there's enough room for ice, mix and spirit, these glasses are tall and narrower than old fashioneds
Juice Glasses- either a tumbler or slightly tapered glass that holds around 5 oz, specifically for serving juice
Margarita Glasses- this type of stemware has a sturdy, heavy rim for dipping in salt or sugar, recognizable by its double bowl
Martini- stemware with a long stem and wedge-shaped bowl, great for any type of cocktail or drink without ice
Pilsner- another type of beer glass, this one is tall and slender with a tapering that keeps a head that is desirable for pilsner or light lager beers
Red Wine Glasses- these wine glasses have a larger bowl and wider rim than white wine glasses to bring out the aroma and help develop the wine
White Wine Glasses- these are smaller than the red version, made to help keep the wine cool
Shot Glasses- occasionally but incorrectly referred to as a cordial; shot glasses are for small drinks, or shots, of straight liquor and are usually 1.5 oz but come in 1, 2 and sometimes even 3 oz varieties for more elaborate shooters
Tumbler- any straight-sided glassware, usually multi-purpose
Water Goblets- for drinking water (did you guess it?), these typically have a larger bowl than red wine glasses and thicker stems
Toasting Flutes- same as champagne flutes, except these come in a pair and are used specifically for special occasions
