What should every kitchen have? A set of plates, cutlery, coffee cups, and favourite tea mugs are the first things that come to mind. However, every celebration organised by hosts requires a unique setting in the form of... elegant glasses! Which sets should you buy? Which versatile glassware should you invest in if you have limited storage space? What is an absolute must-have, and what should connoisseurs pay attention to? Which KROSNO glass sets are worth having in your home?
Elegant wine glasses
Wine is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world. It pairs well with appetizers, lunches, dinners, and desserts. It can be used to toast with loved ones or to enjoy a glass of it alone after a long and stressful day. It is clear, then, that a set of wine glasses is one of the most basic elements of any kitchen's equipment. But which one to choose?
The design of a "glass" is related to the way wine is enjoyed. The vessel must therefore consist of a long stem, which is comfortable to hold. The bowl should be wide enough to literally immerse one's nose in it, savouring not only the taste but also the aroma of the drink. The glass should be crystal clear, as the colour of the wine is no less important than its dryness.
If storage space is limited, sets of white or red wine glasses can actually be used interchangeably – as long as it's not served to connoisseurs, no one will notice the subtle differences. Such a versatile set, consisting of 6 or 12 pieces, should therefore be in every kitchen, even the smallest one.
Glassware not just for connoisseurs
When visiting a connoisseur of high-end spirits for a birthday or holiday, it's worth bringing a set of glasses as a gift. It's a universal, beautiful, practical, and at the same time—despite the fragility of the material—extremely durable gift. A tasteful set for cognac or brandy will, over time, become an important element of shared gatherings! This type of glassware usually finds its way into homes as a gift.
A set of shot glasses, despite its name, is used for drinking more than just vodka. Just take a look at the Empire vessels, which are also ideal for enjoying homemade liqueurs or fruit tinctures made from fruits grown in your own garden. For those who prepare such beverages themselves, these clear glasses on long, elegant stems are a must-have!
When it comes to stronger spirits, whiskey reigns supreme in catering to diverse tastes. Like wine, it tastes excellent not only in good company. A whiskey glass set makes a wonderful gift. Glasses for this drink often have thick glass, resembling traditional crystal. They can also be smooth, but the sculpted ones are the most decorative. Each design is made with attention to the smallest details. If you have more storage space, it is worth buying a set of crystal glasses with a decanter, in which the alcohol can age for a really long time without affecting the taste.
Party sets
Every cocktail fan knows that a regular glass is not enough for drinks. An important element of every recipe is the type of vessel into which the drink is finally poured. Long Island Iced Tea requires a tall glass, and the shape of a Martini glass is inextricably linked to this drink. But how can you fit sets of glasses for various spirits, even in the most spacious cabinets?
KROSNO addresses such dilemmas – just look at the sets of glasses and tumblers for many beverages, such as Happiness or Diamond. They include vessels for cocktails, and also for wine, champagne, or vodka. Thanks to them, you can easily equip your kitchen with both universal and less popular alcohol glassware.
Glassware for toasting
A set of champagne glasses is useful not only on New Year's Eve! It's worth toasting with sparkling wine after every major success. This makes moments even more special. Simply equip your kitchen with elegant Illumination champagne glasses.
When it comes to toasts, KROSNO also offers glass sets for the newlyweds, which can be decorated as desired! Such vessels make a beautiful wedding gift that will remind the young couple of the giver for many years. They can be used for liquor, wine, or champagne. They will be an excellent part of the tableware for every upcoming anniversary.
Beer goblets
The essential glassware for every home is not just a set of glasses for wine or liqueurs. It's also worth buying beer glasses!
With the growing popularity of craft beer, awareness of how to serve specific types of it is also increasing. Using tall glasses for wheat beer or bulbous glasses for porters significantly impacts the taste and aroma of the drink. However, it's difficult—especially in a small apartment—to accommodate glasses for IPAs, ALBs, Risses, Lagers, and Stouts.
Again, KROSNO beer glass sets come to the rescue! The BREWERY beer connoisseur set will allow you to enjoy almost every type of beer according to its serving rules. The clear, transparent glass also allows you to assess the colour, cloudiness level, and carbonation of the drink.
It is also worth taking a cue from the British, who often serve every type of beer in PURE-type glasses in pubs. This set is an absolute must-have for home brewers, connoisseurs, and those who only occasionally drink the golden brew.
Glasses for... water
Glass sets for... water are becoming increasingly popular. This is an elegant way to serve any non-alcoholic beverage during celebrations and gatherings with loved ones.
KROSNO water glass sets, such as the ELITE glassware, do not at first glance differ from wine glasses. However, they have a narrower bowl at the top than traditional vessels. When serving drinks in such glasses, it's worth adding various additions beforehand, such as frozen berries, citrus slices, as well as mint, rosemary, lavender, and other herbs. Through the crystal-clear glass, they will impress every guest.
