Tumblers

Tumblers are among some of the most useful and versatile glasses. With their flat bottom, clean lines and simple shape, the humble tumbler is suitable for both casual use and special occasions. No longer unassuming, tumblers have become examples of truly exquisite craftsmanship. Not sure which set to choose? Read our tips on buying tumblers below.

Tumbler Buying Tips to Tick Off Your List  

1. What’s the occasion? For everyday use, why not start your morning right with juice in a classic tumbler or coffee in a heat-retaining latte cup? High ball glasses are great for making classic favourites like a gin and tonic or a Long Island iced tea. Whisky glasses, meanwhile, have a timeless elegance, with a sharp diamond cut in particular helping to enhance the rich amber hue.
2. Tumblers should not only be sleek, but made of strong, sturdy materials. Tempered glass is about four times stronger than regular glass and made to withstand high temperatures for longer. Stoneware has rustic warmth, and can be easily popped into the dishwasher. Plastic, on the other hand, is great for kids or for those on the go, easy to clean and able to endure daily wear and tear.
3. Size and shape will also affect the types of drinks that you make with your tumblers. Tall glasses are ideal for cocktails, soft drinks or juice, while small glasses are good for spirits, Chardonnay, or a neat scotch.
4. Tumblers have become more stylish, more beautiful and more ornate, with a wide variety of glasses to suit any taste. Try smoky glass for a touch of sensual sophistication or vibrant colours for a chic French Riviera vibe.
5. A tumbler’s texture can help accentuate its overall style. Embossed crystal has a gorgeous silhouette, and can evoke the romance of Art Deco. Studded or frosted textures can give tumblers an edge, while more intricate cuts and patterns will always have a classical sort of flair.
6. How many tumblers do you need? For intimate drinks between friends, a two or four-piece set is a perfect fit, while a set of six or more is good to enjoy for dinner parties or barbecues.
7. Looking for the perfect gift for a whisky connoisseur? Treat them to a tumbler gift set, complete with a stylish decanter.
