> Now, we ask the professionals, what do you think about that ?
Here is a list of glasses (alcoholic) that I have had to deal with as a 
bartender.IN 24 yrs as a bartenderI never have worked in a place that had all 
of them.Why would I want another? 
shot glass,jigger and pony glass for serving shooters some places now do that 
in test tubes
highball glass,old fashion glass,rocks glass  interchangable in a lot of 
places
beer mug,beer glass, pilsner glass
white wine glass and red wine glass  this matter to a lot of people but not 
all
collins glass
sour glass
maragita glass
punch cup
hurricane glass
champagne glass and champagne flute  the first being modeled on the breast of 
Mariee Antonette(or so I've heard)
sherry glass
parfait glass
irish coffee glass
cordial glass
pousse cafe glass
cocktail glass (popularly known as the martini glass)
brandy sniffer  while you can use this for other things  one should never 
serve brandy in anything else...well maybe a flask, or a small wood keg if you 
happen to be a st bernard :)
the only history I know is the rumor of the champagne glass. Perhaps some 
other people in this forum can enlighten us further on the others
> Or maybe there are already some ideas for extraordinary cocktail 
> glasses?
if you could find a way to make them out of something that has the feel of 
glass but doesn't break that would be great, as far has having another type.. 
no thanks.
