A Brandy Snifter is a type of a short-stemmed glass with a wide bottom and a relatively narrow top.
All brandies could and should be drank in a snifter.
Brandy is typically served in a brandy snifter, which is a type of stemware. It is short-stemmed glass with a wide bottom and a slightly narrowed top. The person grasps the snifter so the flat base rests on the palm, with fingers around the wider portion. You will often see people using brandy snifters in movies depicting rich people.

Brandy neat is brandy served in a glass (usually a snifter), without ice or any other additives.
There are many different features of a Brandy Snifter wine glass. One unique feature of the wine glass is the tulip shape of the glass, designed to show off the bubbles.
If you are referring to the drinking glass also known as a brandy snifter, this is a short-stemmed glass (a wine glass is long-stemmed) with a wide bowl but narrow top, kind of like a teardrop with the point cut off. This shape temporarily traps the aromas in the glass, allowing the drinker to sniff the brandy, cognac, or Kool-Aid. Hence, the name "snifter."

Glasses can vary in size: for example, a brandy snifter is more than 8 times as large as a sherry glass.
It is known as a snifter (or a brandy snifter, cognac glass, or balloon). It is designed to be cupped and warmed by the hand, while the narrow top traps the aroma. The bulbous bottom allows the brandy to be gentle swilled to increase the aroma.
Brandies are typically drunk at 38F (21C) or room temperature, so a brandy warmer warming the brandy to this or to a bit lower temperature is suitable. When drinking the brandy, gentle warming further occurs when the glass snifter is cupped in your hand. Excessive warming of the brandy causes the alcohol to evaporate too quickly, causing its fruit aromas to be too overpowering.
Brandy in Cocktails? Why not? Just like any alcohol, it can be mixed, blended, and in many cases, thoroughly obliterated into a drink concoction. A really, really, good/great brandy is probably best enjoyed "neat" (no ice....no mix) in a snifter. One of the more popular mixed drinks using brandy is a Brandy Alexander: 1 1/2 oz brandy 1 oz dark creme de cacao 1 oz half-and-half 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg So, yes, Dorothy, you can go back to Kansas and you can use Brandy in Cocktails. Isn't life great ????!!!!
