Long Drink Glasses

Just like in our store, we first want to know what goes into your glass: juice at breakfast, soft drinks or water with meals, or a long drink for guests. This determines the capacity, and then we check if the glass feels comfortable in your hand and fits in your dishwasher and cupboard. For sizes and types of glass, we follow the product information for each glass, and what we say about thin glass and your dishwasher is advice from our store. Start below with the capacity.

How big should your long drink glass be for what you pour in it?

Our long drink glasses hold 270 to 580 ml. If ice is added, there will clearly be less room for the drink itself, and you should also leave some space at the top.

As a rule of thumb, you can divide the sizes like this:

A small glass up to 300 ml is enough for juice or soft drinks without ice, for example, the Arcoroc Long Drink Glasses Broadway - 280 ml - 6 pieces.

An everyday glass of 300 to 400 ml is handy for soft drinks or water with a few ice cubes. In that size, you find the Bormioli Rocco Long Drink Glasses Glit Transparent - 390 ml - 6 pieces.

A glass of 400 to 500 ml suits a long drink with plenty of ice. For the Schott Zwiesel Long Drink Glasses Stage - 440 ml - 4 pieces, Schott Zwiesel recommends a Cuba Libre and a Mojito, among others.

A large glass from 500 ml is for a drink with lots of ice and fruit, or for water on a warm day. The largest glass here is from our own brand: the Cookinglife Long Drink Glasses Verano - 580 ml - 4 pieces.

If you prefer to drink your gin and tonic from a balloon glass, you can find that glass among the gin and tonic glasses.

Which long drink glass can a child easily hold?

In a small hand, you mainly notice how wide a glass is, and our long drink glasses range from about 6 to over 9 cm wide.

For a child, it's best to choose a narrow glass that isn't too tall, as a tall glass is easier to knock over. The Chef & Sommelier Long Drink Glasses Vigne - 330 ml - 6 pieces is over 12 cm tall and less than 7 cm wide.

If you often knock a glass over yourself, or have large hands, a low, wide glass stands more firmly. The Bormioli Rocco Long Drink Glasses Sorgente - Transparent - 420 ml - 6 pieces is such a glass: lower and wider than any other long drink glass here. However, the Sorgente is a bit wide for a child's hand.

Cloudiness on your glasses: is it the glass or the dishwasher?

Not always the glass. In our store, we explain that it's often more about your dishwasher. This involves not only the machine itself but also the detergent and a rack that is too full.

If a white layer comes off with a cloth and some vinegar, it was limescale. If the glass remains dull afterwards, the surface itself has been damaged, and such a glass will no longer be clear.

All long drink glasses from Schott Zwiesel and Zwiesel Glas in this collection are made of Tritan crystal glass, which contains no lead. The Schott Zwiesel Long Drink Glasses Age - 410 ml - 4 pieces is included, and like almost all long drink glasses here, it is dishwasher safe. According to the product information, it remains clear even after hundreds of washes. Your machine also counts for this glass.

Afraid of a clumsy glass, or a glass that breaks during washing up?

If you choose a more expensive glass, you often don't have to make that choice. Such glass is thin and therefore pleasant to drink from, yet it doesn't break easily. The Schott Zwiesel Long Drink Glasses Simple - 370 ml - 6 pieces has an extra thick bottom, according to the product information, so the glass stands firmly on the table.

If a glass hits the tap or the edge of the countertop hard, crystal glass can also break. If you often break a glass, regular glass will do just fine. You can buy it affordably from Arcoroc and Bormioli Rocco, usually in boxes of six.

Bormioli Rocco has its own page with us: the long drink glasses from Bormioli Rocco.

Do large long drink glasses take up a lot of space?

With a low model, the height is manageable. The Schott Zwiesel Long Drink Glasses / Tumblers Blossom - 557 ml - 4 pieces and the Zwiesel Glas Long Drink Glasses Pure - 542 ml - 4 pieces both hold more than half a litre. Yet, the Blossom is nearly 4 cm shorter. A low glass is usually wider and therefore takes up more space in the rack: the Blossom is 9 cm wide.

If your cupboard is already full, glasses that can be stacked, like the Chef & Sommelier Long Drink Glasses Lima - 400 ml - 6 pieces, can help. Only stack glasses when they are completely dry, as damp glasses can get stuck together. If you also want to stack other types of glass, there are options among the stackable glasses.

Glasses for a party or your home bar: loose boxes or a set?

If twelve people are coming, the Bormioli Rocco Water Glass Set Electra - (Water Glasses & Long Drink Glasses) - 12-piece set is enough for everyone. It contains six water glasses and six long drink glasses from the Electra series. If you buy loose boxes for a party, choose a glass that comes in sixes: with fewer boxes, you have enough of the same glass.

For those setting up a home bar or wanting to give something to someone with a home bar, you can choose the Schott Zwiesel Bar Glass Set Stage 17-piece - Long Drink, Whisky & Shot Glasses with Glass Straws. It contains long drink glasses, whisky glasses, and shot glasses from the Stage line, along with glass straws.
