So your hand will warm the brandy and release the odors to be savored. It's called a brandy snifter.

I've read that the short-stemmed wide bowl of a brandy glass allows the liquid to be warmed by the hand to release its aroma

Brandy sniffers. Some inhale it before drinking it. I don't know if it does anything for you.
