Cognac glass

Drinking glass with bulbous tulip-shaped goblet and short stem (image 1 from left), which can be used for cognac as well as other spirits. The bulbous shape makes it easy to swirl the glass, as is usual with brandy. In most countries, a large-bellied glass is used, whereas in France a slimmer glass similar to a catavino is used for sherry (image 2 from left). The glass usually has a 4 cl pouring mark, but there are also smaller ones with 2 cl. The glasses are manufactured by EGO, Riedel and Schott Zwiesel, among others. The EGO glass is fitted with a glass compass on the base and swivels automatically, so to speak. See also under wine glasses and spirits glasses.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
