Pair of 18th century opaque twist stem glasses. A wine glass is a type of glass that is used for drinking or tasting wine. Most wine glasses are stemware (goblets), composed of three parts: the bowl, stem, and foot. There are a wide variety of slightly different shapes and sizes, some considered especially suitable for particular types of wine.
With the manufacture of longer stems the design was embellished with knops or knobs, which were decorative shapes formed in the stem. After about 1720 the heavy baluster glasses were replaced with thinner glass and stems, featuring smaller knops, and known as light balusters or balustroids.
Absinthe glass, a short, thick-stemmed glass with a tall, wide bowl and some feature (like a ridge, bead, or bulge) indicating a correct serving of absinthe; Chalice or goblet, an ornate stem glass, especially one for ceremonial purposes; Champagne coupe, a stem glass with a wide, shallow bowl, for champagne (similar to a cocktail glass)
The stemware is intended for cool beverages, like water or wine. [1] The stem allows the drinker to hold the glass without affecting the temperature of the drink. [ 2 ] The snifters represent an exception, as they are designed to hold the bowl in a cup of the hand to warm up the beverage.
The champagne coupe is a shallow, broad-bowled saucer shaped stemmed glass generally capable of containing 180 to 240 ml (6.1 to 8.1 US fl oz) of liquid. [4] [13] [14] [15] The coupe was fashionable in France from its introduction in the 18th century until the 1970s, [16] and in the United States from the 1930s [17] to the 1980s. [14]
In addition, many people don’t accurately measure their wine pours, experts say — what should be a small 4-ounce glass of wine could easily become a 6-ounce or even 9-ounce pour.
