Glassware buying guide
Glassware is something that is often overlooked, but nothing feels better than serving prosecco in a long flute and sipping Manhattans from a Martini glass. If you aren’t sure where to start then we are here to help with our glassware buying guide.
Continental glasses are shorted with an enlarged bulbous body, which is often supported by a stem. These smaller glasses are ideal for flavourful Belgian beers which are generally stronger and fizzier as the shape allows flavours and aromas to develop similarly to wine glasses. The short-stemmed design is shaped for enjoying Pilsner lagers and light beers.
The gin balloon glass is designed with a wide bowl to trap the delicate aromas of the gin and enhance the scent and flavour. The bowl shape also stops the ice cubes from melting as quickly so they keep the drink cool without overly diluting. The scent is 80% of the taste when it comes to gin, making this glass a must-have for any gin connoisseur.
Sip on your gin of choice in this beautiful glass from LSA International. Crafted from soda-lime glass, the long stem has been designed to ensure your drink doesn’t get warm when holding. The very generously sized bowl fully allows the aromas and flavours of your gin and mixer to emerge.
Red wine glasses are large and rounded with a long stem providing the wine plenty of room to breathe, amplifying flavours. Designed with contemporary shapes, the Borough range of glassware from LSA International is stylish and refined. Dishwasher safe, these glasses are made of lead-free crystalline glass for brilliance, clarity, and resilience. The wide bowl allows red wines to breathe, improving the aroma and taste.
Champagne flutes are tall and narrow to maximise bubbles of champagne and sparkling wines. Or for a contemporary and elegant twist try a champagne saucer. Designed with contemporary shapes, this glass suits champagne, prosecco, or sparkling wine, while the long stem helps keep the bowl chilled.
With flat bottoms and a wide mouth, tumbler glasses are easily adaptable and can be used for small cocktails or for drinks ‘on-the-rocks’. A stemless design with a curved bowl for enjoying white and rosé wines as well as water and cocktails.
Often also referred to as long drink or mixer glasses, this glassware is perfect for water or juices at the dinner table as well as mixers or long cocktails.
Designed with gently rounded bases and bowls in a contemporary shape, we’ve selected the Borough range of glassware from LSA International for a stylish and refined choice this season at Long Barn – all our glasses are dishwasher safe, and made of lead-free crystalline glass for brilliance, clarity, and resilience.
