Brandy glasses, or snifters, have a wide bowl and a narrow rim, so the brandy warms in the hand and the aroma stays at the nose. The pour is small, so a glass for drinking brandy is sized around aroma rather than volume.

Glassware for brandy ranges from classic balloon snifters to smaller tasting glasses, so you can start with the shapes your spirits list needs now and add more as your business grows. Commercial versions are toughened for the glasswasher. See the full commercial drinkware range for the rest of the back bar.

These are the top FAQs for Brandy Glasses

Why the wide bowl?

It gives the spirit surface area to release aroma, and the narrow rim holds it at the nose.

Brandy is poured without ice; keep ice for hi-ball glasses.

Are brandy snifters dishwasher safe?

Commercial snifters are built for glasswashers. Use glass racks that fit the bowl.

A glasswasher protects stems better than a dishwasher.

What size should I buy?

Pour size is small, so the bowl size is about aroma, not volume. Check capacities on each product page.

Wine glassware is covered in commercial drinkware.

What else sits on the back bar?

Bar accessories and bar mats keep service tidy.

Premium spirits pair with commercial wine fridges for dessert wines.

Should brandy glasses be warmed?

Hand warmth is enough for most spirits, and heating a glass over a flame is now rare in venues. A warmed glass releases aroma faster but can sharpen the alcohol.

Do they need a special rack?

Commercial snifters are built for it. Use racks that support the bowl, and avoid stacking.
