All Of Us Use Glasses To Drink From

Everybody on this earth drinks. We all need to drink, even if it is only water. Animals, humans, all need to drink. Trees and plants need water too, but they just wait for the rain to arrive. Animals may drink from ponds, rivers, or lakes, or if they are your pet hamster or spaniel will use the bowl or water bottle that you provide.

We humans mostly drink from containers such as glasses, cups, and mugs. If you stop to think about it for a moment, you may be surprised at just how many of these objects you have in your kitchen, dining room, or lounge, if you count them all up!

Of course, some of them are plain old teacups or coffee mugs, while others may come in an almost endless range of colours and patterns and designs. Drinking glasses too, can be made plain, or they can be of many different shapes, sometimes dependent upon what type of drink they are designed for. So, for instance, you might have a wine glass which is one shape, while a champagne glass is a flute design, and a whisky or brandy tumbler is a short, stubby glass. The wine glass or champagne flute will be of a thin glass, and the whisky tumbler thicker.

Plain Glasses

Of course, many such glasses will be plain, especially if they are being used in a bar, restaurant, or café. They are there purely for the purpose of providing your drink, and so the owner will not usually spend a lot of money on sets of engraved crystal glass. After all, in a restaurant or pub, glasses get broken! They are in use all day and every day, and accidents do happen.

However, in a more upmarket restaurant, such as those in London’s West End, the owner may well invest in engraved crystal glass because he or she wants to attract people who have a lot of money and are happy to spend it. This means that it can be a good idea to have beautiful glassware for the customer to use because it will be attractive and encourage them to return time and again. It all adds to the ambience of the business. Yes, they may sometimes get broken, but the amount that the restaurant can charge offsets that. As for your home, well why wouldn’t you? Sure, you can have plain old glasses, but why not have something that is beautiful to drink from?
