Red Wineglasses   

• These glasses have a rounder, wider bowl, which gives wine a chance to breathe.
• A Bordeaux glass is tall with a wide bowl and designed for full-bodied reds like Cabernet and Merlot. It helps guide wine to the back of the mouth.
• Burgundy glasses have larger bowls than Bordeaux glasses and are perfect for wines like Pinot Noir. The glass helps guide wine to the tip of the tongue.

White Wineglasses

• White wineglasses are narrow with semi-straight or tulip-shaped sides; the shape allows the chilled wine to retain its temperature longer.
• The smaller bowl of the glass means less contact between the hand and the glass so body heat doesn’t transfer as easily to the wine.

Water Goblets    

• Look for ones that have larger bowls than your wineglasses.
• Try the glasses out to see if you like the feel of them.
• Consider ordering other styles, like colored or etched goblets, to really spice up the table.

Champagne Flutes

• Champagne flutes are identified by a long stem with a tall, narrow bowl on top, and they’re taller and thinner than other types of wineglasses.
• The shape is designed to keep bubbly well carbonated and at the right temperature.
• Look for ones with extra-long stems, which resemble a trumpet-shape.
• The bowls should extend close to the base of the glass.
• Available in glass or crystal -- use glass for entertaining and crystal for special occasions.

Double Old-Fashioned Glasses

• Double old-fashioned glasses look like old-fashioned glasses but are double the size.
• They’re usually used for serving straight alcohol such as Scotch, vodka on the rocks, or other premium liqueur drinks.
• Available in either round or square shapes.
• Usually holds about eight to ten ounces of liquid.
• Also referred to as rocks glasses.

Margarita Glasses

• An exaggerated rim, which measures five inches in diameter, makes it easy to dip into salt.
• Should hold about 12 to 20 ounces of liquid.
• You may want plastic or acrylic glasses if you plan to entertain outdoors often.

Martini Glasses

• It’s easy to identify these classic glasses by their "Y" shape.
• The double martini glass stands taller and wider at the opening.
• Depending on your style, you may want a classic look, or you may like decorative glasses or funky-shaped stems.

Pilsner Glasses

• Pilsner glasses are similar to pint glasses but are slightly smaller and usually identified by the short neck on the bottom.

Juice Glasses

• These are shorter and thinner than normal water glasses and perfect for serving orange juice and other fruit drinks.

Highball Glasses

• Highball glasses stand taller than old-fashioned glasses.
• They’re tall, narrow, and used to serve mixed drinks like rum and Coke, vodka and tonic, and screwdrivers.

Seven-Piece Bar Tool Set

• Double jigger: for measuring liquor. A jigger is the size of a shot.
• Ice spoon: for picking out cubes or stirring a mixed drink. Select one with a long neck.
• Citrus knife: for peeling fruit and removing pith.
• Bottle opener: for removing both metal bottle caps as well as corks from wine bottles.
• Strainer: for removing ice from a mixed drink after it’s been shaken. Go for the metal version because it’s the sturdiest.
• Olive fork: for serving olives or picking them out of the jar.

Among the many wonderful beauty tools that are available on the market today, the Beauty Blender is one that I can never live without. It is a miracle product that makes the application of liquid foundation a rather easy task. It provides a flawless finish and a natural look when applied properly. The best way to use this miracle sponge is damp, once wet it almost doubles in size making it even easier to work with and apply foundation in the narrow sections of the face. An absolute must have for any makeup lover!
