The first thing you will recognize in the Snifter Glass is the extremely short stem with a bowl narrowing to the top but a wider base. The Snifter is used for serving whisky, brandy, and bourbon. These features serve different purposes as the narrow top traps the aroma of whisky or brandy while the rounded bottom enables the warming of the liquor when cupped in hand. Overly, it is pear-shaped, with the narrow top ensuring the aroma of the liquid is held within. The Snifter glass is also called brandy bowl or cognac glass.
The Snifter Glass has an overall height of 4.5" (11.4 cm) and diameter of 3.33” (8.46 cm). The Snifter Glass holds a volume of 9 oz (26.6 cL).
