drinks taste nicer in posh glasses?

[Menora]

I am moving away from the likes of plastic beakers, bottles and chunky thick glasswear (like soda glasses) now my DC are older and it’s less likely to get broken and ruined (ps I recycle them or use them for something else not throw away)

So I bought 4 really nice, thin tall high ball glasses from John Lewis and said to DC they were really for visiting guests (their friends included) as it has been embarrassing in the past to offer someone a cold drink from a Disney princess beaker, or a pink chipped thick soda glass. I don’t have anything else for visitors, it’s not like I get out special hand towels. 😂

I’ve gone to the cupboard tonight and they are all gone. We have had no guests. My Investigation showed they had been taken up to DC bedrooms and apparently my only ever attempt at having something nice for visitors is because all liquids taste nicer from the glasses.

This is actually true - but why? Why does the same water taste nicer in a thin glass than the plastic Spider-Man cup? I’ve been doing it all wrong

YANBU absolutely true! Like Diet Coke tastes better out of a glass bottle!
A posh glass is vital for gin

The glass really makes a difference. I have a gorgeous hand blown gin glass for my Saturday nights that really makes the G&T taste better. And when I'm not drinking I like to have whatever I'm having (tonic and tonic usually) out of a pretty glass too.

Not pregnant but cutting back on alcohol.
I like drinking Coke or Sparkling Water out of a champagne flute as cuts the craving but bizarrely still gives me that relaxed feeling.

My DH always used to laugh and sometimes get annoyed when I insisted that each drink should come in it's appropriate receptacle. Wine in a wine glass, tea in a tea cup (with saucer), champagne in a flute or saucer, sherry in a schooner etc.

Thankfully we have adequate space to store said range of glassware and it always makes me happy, so YANBU and neither it seems, is your DD

It definitely matters. I won’t order wine in restaurants where they serve it to you in a tumbler rather than a wine glass. Sadly in London this seems to be a growing trend
