A snifter is a type of stemmed glassware characterized by its short stem, wide bowl, and tapered mouth. It is commonly used for serving aromatic spirits such as brandy, whiskey, cognac, or rum. The wide bowl of the snifter allows the drinker to swirl the liquid, releasing its aromas and enhancing the tasting experience. The tapered mouth helps concentrate the aromas, allowing the drinker to fully appreciate the complex flavors of the spirit. Snifters come in various sizes, with smaller ones typically used for spirits and larger ones for beer or wine.
