Modern Snifter Glasses, Set of Two

Alcohol vocab lesson of the day: a "snifter" is an aroma-centric tasting glass with a distinct shape — wider at the bottom and narrow at the opening. Basically, the shape traps as much of your beverage's fragrance in the glass as possible, making the nose a more central part of the experience. These angular ones by Terrane Glass present a modern take on the classic form, with a unique pedestal shape at the bottom. Simply put: they're gorgeous, enhance the experience of drinking liquor or beer, and are super tough to spill — regardless of how many you've had.

Terrane Glass was founded by Colin O'Reilly in 2016, and sits in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, on the Tugaloo Terrane in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Spruce Pine has some of the richest deposits of gems and minerals in the world, and Terrane Glass sources both its designs and its silica from the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding it on all sides.
