You do not need a special glassware to drink from…However following the rules there is a lot of different types of glassware, depending what we are drinking.<\/p>\n
The most popular big glass – szklanka<\/strong> – can be used for water (woda<\/strong>), soda (napoje gazowane<\/strong>), beer (piwo<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Smaller glass (ma\u0142a szklanka<\/strong>)\u00a0is usually great for juices (soki<\/strong>) or different mixed drinks (r\u00f3\u017cne mi\u0119szane drinki<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Mug (kubek<\/strong>) is for coffee (kawa<\/strong>), tea (herbata<\/strong>), sometimes used also for sous (zupa<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Fili\u017canka<\/strong> can be used for different types of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n Although you can drink beer from the regular glass, kufel do piwa<\/strong> is popular at the restaurants (restauracje<\/strong>), bars (bary<\/strong>) and homes (domy<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Szeroka i kr\u00f3tka\u00a0szklaneczka do drink\u00f3w<\/strong> (wide and short mixed drink glass) in Poland is often used for soda or juices as well.<\/p>\n Kieliszek<\/strong> is a shot glass. Used mostly for vodka (w\u00f3dka<\/strong>), could be also used for shots of any other alcohol. Speaking of kieliszek I remember when my husband visited Poland for the first time and was asked if he knows how do we call shot glass. He responded: “Oczywi\u015bcie, malutki szklanka!” It actually made a lot of sense for him just starting learning Polish…I thought it was very funny though.<\/p>\n Kieliszek do czerwonego wina<\/strong> ( red wine glass) is usually big and wide (du\u017cy i szeroki<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Kieliszek do bia\u0142ego wina<\/strong> (white wine glass) on the other hand (“z drugiej strony”<\/strong>) is more narrow and smaller (w\u0119\u017cszy i mniejszy<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Kieliszek do szampana<\/strong> (champagne glass) is also used for any type of sparkling wine (musuj\u0105ce wino<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Kieliszek do margarity<\/strong> (margarita glass) is used for margarita only.<\/p>\n Kieliszek do martini<\/strong> (martini glass) can be used for different types of cold mixed drinks.<\/p>\n Of course there are many more types of glasses for specific drinks like czara, puchar<\/strong> (snifter, goblet), but\u00a0I just wanted to give you some vocabulary for the basic ones.<\/p>\n
