A snifter is a type of glass designed primarily for serving brandy, whiskey, and other spirits. It has a wide bowl that allows for the drink to be swirled, enhancing the release of aromas. The narrow opening at the top helps to concentrate these scents, making it easier for the drinker to enjoy the full bouquet of the spirit. Typically made from glass or crystal, snifters come in various sizes and styles. Their unique shape not only serves a functional purpose but also adds an elegant touch to the presentation of fine liquors.
