Brandy Glasses & Cognac Glasses

Brandy, Cognac and Armagnac are still favourite after dinner settlers. To enjoy these you need good quality Brandy Glasses and Cognac Glasses. Traditionally the balloon shape is the connoisseur's choice so you can warm the spirit in the palm of your hand as you cup the glass. Brandy should be served at room temperature and allowed to gently warm in your hand this way to slowly release the complex aromas. Brandy snifters (or brandy balloons) should be filled to the widest part of the glass to allow for efficient evaporation. When placed on its side on a level surface, the brandy should fill as close to the rim as possible without spilling - a very small portion of the snifter's capacity. The glass then narrows toward the top which traps the aroma inside of the balloon as the warmth of your palm very slowly evaporates the drink.
