A good hostess will not pour champagne into whiskey glasses, but not everyone knows that there are glasses specifically for the Margarita cocktail, for Burgundy wine and Bordeaux, for cognac and other drinks. Meanwhile, the shape of the glass or glass largely depends on whether your guests will fully experience the taste of the drink.
