Talk:Drinkware

= Glassware is NOT a subset of drinkware = "Glassware is a subset of drinkware made from glass." is clearly inaccurate, since glass bowls, plates, pitchers/jugs, decanters, etc, are all commonly referred to as glassware.

This page is pretty awkward. For starters, the "cocktail" glass, as defined, is stemware. However, a martini glass is more properly called an "up" glass - in my experience, a "cocktail" glass is of the short cylindrical variety (although I've heard this called an "old fasioned"). But still, a "cocktail" doesn't really refer to a martini-like drink - more often a cocktail is something with a non-booze base, like a gin and tonic. Also, there's a fascination variety of beer glasses. Perhaps when I get some time I'll try to improve this section. ObsidianOP 02:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

comprehensive
Are we trying to make a list of all the common glasses, or just a "sample" of them? Because there are many other glasses I would like to add JayKeaton 20:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Missing Water Glasses from Stemware
While other articles address "tumblers" for drinking water, this article is missing the "glass for water" which is on a stem and is supposed to hold more than a wine glass. Some huge water glasses have been subverted to holding wine.

The article almost deliberately avoids discussing size/capacity, but wine glasses should contain about 5 ounces of wine - the capacity of the glass would be more so the wine can "breathe." But not of infinite capacity either! Water glasses should hold 8-12 ounces.

Merge into Glassware, or retitle "Barware"
"Drinkware" is not a useful term or category. I just added to the Glassware article, making it more consistent with the definition of Tableware and other related articles. I recommend this page be deleted, or retitled and limited to "Barware". Mukrkrgsj 10:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Absinthe Glass
I think that the absinthe glass should be added in under glassware, it is distinctive and interesting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.226.27 (talk) 22:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Split
Shouldn't glass (Glass (drinkware)) be in a separate article to this? There's already a Drinkware category, and it's possible to make a page called 'List of drinkware'.--Jcvamp (talk) 19:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Beer vs. Wine glassware
Considering the dearth of beerware we have represented in the drinkware sidebar, I feel as though stemmed wine crystal should be differentiated rather than simply dealt with categorically as forms of 'wine glasses.' It is just as anathema (perhaps considerably more so) for the wine connoisseur to drink fine Burgundy from a white wine glass as it would be for the beer enthusiast to drink pilsner from a Belgian glass. Show me the man who puts his DRC in a generic 'wine-glass' and I'll show you a man with more money than good taste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.78.170 (talk) 00:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
