Walk into any bar and you'll notice a variety of glasses in all shapes and sizes shining back at you. Why is a martini served in elegant stemware while a whisky arrives in a short, portly snifter? Is this simply about appearance or does the glass impact the beverage's taste?

NYC bar owner Matt Piacentini pours most drinks in five types of glasses; Tales of the Cocktail's American Bartender of the Year Joaquín Simó believes you only need three: "You can make 90 percent of drinks in a rocks, a collins, and a good all-purpose cocktail glass" (via New York Magazine). Yet Home Stratosphere lists 27 different cocktail glasses; and martini glasses alone come in different shapes, from the Nick and Nora to a coupe (per Liquor). Real Simple recommends shelves should be stocked with at least 10 different varieties, and Men's Journal cuts the list down to four (the coupe, rocks, collins, and decanter). The recommendations are enough to overwhelm any aspiring mixologist. So how many types of glasses do you need for an at-home setup &#; and why does it matter?

Can I try that drink? This is how you teach...
