Sherry derives its name from the anglicised word Jerez the area in Spain where sherry originated.
Traditionally the Spanish drank their sherry from a copita glass shape which is still recognised by Sommeliers as the optimum glass to drink this fortified wine from.
In the UK we have traditionally used the Schooner Sherry glass to savour our Sherry, the rich sweet Cream and medium dry Amontillado sherries being the nations favourites.
Most Cut Crystal Sherry Glasses are simply a smaller version of the wine glass and tend to double up as Liqueur and Port glasses.
Ultimately the shape and design is a personal choice, you do not necessarily need a Sherry glass to match the rest of your glasses and we have Sherry Glasses of all styles to suit your taste.
