1 Glassware is NOT a subset of drinkware

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
