How to Choose Best Cognac Glass?

A snifter (a short-stemmed glass with a narrow top and a narrow bottom- also called cognac glass) is an old style of stemware for drinking liquors that are aged. In America, they are often used to serve bourbon and whisky. 

The biggest difference is that Cognac and Whiskey are distilled from grains, most often barley. 

A young spirit is distilled from this grain, followed by aging in oak barrels. This spirit is made from fermented grape juice that converts first to wine. On the other hand, whisky can be made anywhere in the world.

It has a large surface area, which helps the liquid evaporate, and its narrow top encloses the scent, while it has a rounded bottom that can be cupped in hand. 

This warms the liquor. The most common snifters hold 180–240 ml (6–8 fl oz) of liquor, but they’re seldom filled up to maximum capacity. 

A snifter is normally constructed so that it will hold just the right amount before spilling when placed sideways.
