A well stocked bar means having the proper equipment. There are over 20 different types of glassware to fit both the needs and the presentation of fine alcohol beverages. Many types of bar ware are designed and utilized for one type of drink.

Champaign can be served in both a flute and a saucer which are designed specifically for Champaign. A flute is a tall, stemmed wine glass that is used for Champaign cocktails and creamy up drinks such as Brandy Alexander. A Champaign saucer is a short stemmed glass with a wide bowl. A slight variation is the Tulip, which is named for the flower it resembles, is also referred to as a poco glass. The tulip is bowl shaped at the bottom, contours in and flutes out at the top. Both wines and brandies are served with this glass.

A cordial glass, also known as a liqueur glass is a small stemmed glass used for sipping after dinner drinks. Fruit spirits are also traditionally served in this type of glass.

A stemmed glass with sloping sides, ideal for serving drinks without ice or with fruit garnishes is a cocktail glass. A martini is the signature drink.

Highball glasses are tall, but shorter than a beer schooner. A highball glass is used mostly for serving a spirit and mixer. Often whiskey or other hard alcohol drinkers will request a tall or double to be served.

Steins are fancy mugs that bulge at the bottom, are narrower at the top and have a handle. This mug is used for serving beers and ales. A metal version, often with a hinge cover, are designed to give the impress that the mug was created during the mid evil time period.
