| Glassware For Your Home Bar |
| 2008-04-20 11:10:16 |
If you're serious about having a home bar, then you really have to be serious about glassware for your bar. You can't be serving wine in a pilsner glass, or a daiquiri in a rocks glass. But what types of glassware do you need for your well-stocked bar? The types of glasses and the number of each will depend mostly on the space you have available to display and store glassware. One of the best ways to display and store bar glasses is to use one or several stemware racks. Hanging stemware racks under a cabinet is a great way to maximize the use of space in your home bar. For other types of stemless glasses, such as beer mugs, shot glasses, hi-balls, etc., arranging the glasses on rubber bar mats is a good way to both display and store the glasses.

As a kid, many of us were awed by the world globe that sat in the classroom. Only on special occasions were we allowed to touch it - it wasn't a toy, we were told, but an expensive piece of science equipment. Not surprisingly, this fascination with the world globe has followed us to adulthood. After being initially disappointed that there weren't really black borders around each state and that each country really wasn't a different color, we still marveled at the beauty of this wonderful place we call earth. Perhaps that's why we find gemstone globes so fascinating, even as grown ups. The semi-precious and precious stones fit so well together, like a giant puzzle where every piece has its proper place.
