从左至右分别为：带手柄啤酒杯、高球杯、鸡尾酒杯、白兰地矮脚杯、香槟杯。

1. Beer Mug 啤酒杯
You put beer in this. Some people put them in the freezer to frost them before use. One glass typically holds 16 oz. of fluid, but there are no rules.

2. Highball Glass 高球杯
It’s a straight-sided glass of varying heights and is what you’re usually given when you order a whiskey and Coke, gin and tonic or other mixed drink.

3. Cocktail Glass (a.k.a. Martini Glass) 鸡尾酒杯（又称为马提尼酒杯）
The angled, triangular bowl and long stem are unmistakable and is designed to keep the drinker from allowing her or his hands to warm the drink. Of course, after two drinks pretty much everyonecradles the bowl, thereby wasting its functional purpose.

4. Brandy Snifter 白兰地矮脚杯
Its short stem and globe shape encourage cradling so the hand warms the drink, and the tapered edges focus the odor of the liquor up into the tippler’s nose.

5. Champagne Flute 香槟杯
The long tulip-shaped vessel lets drinkers enjoy the gentle cascade of boozy bubbles and also focuses the effervescence upward so that it will create a foamy, nose-tickling mousse.
