U. K. B. G. GUIDE TO DRINKS
One of the main difficulties with glasses has been to
make them completely sterile, i.e., free from bacterial
infection. In these days this can be achieved by use of a
new detergent, which if added to the water at the rate of
one part in six thousand will render aU glasses sterile when
passed through this solution.
Glasses should not only be clean but should also be highly
polished; nothing is better than to see a glass which
sparkles against the light.
The size and shape of drinking glasses vary considerably
and to give the reader some help in the estimation of
quantities we give below a table of glasses to the bottle:—
