Stemware is drinkware that stands on stems above a base. It is usually made from glass, but may be made from ceramics or metals. The stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink.[1]
Stemware includes:
- Absinthe glasses
- Champagne flutes
- Chalices and goblets
- Cocktail glasses (including martini glasses and margarita glasses)
- Liqueur glasses
- Rummers
- Snifters
- Wine glasses
