Dubbeglas

A term commonly used in the German Palatinate (also Dubbeschoppe, Schoppenglas, Weinstange) for a stemless glass for drinking spritzers or wine. It usually has a volume of 0.5 litres, but can also be 0.25 or one litre. The glass widens towards the bottom and top and has small indentations on the outside over the entire surface, in which the fingertips find a hold, thus increasing the grip.

According to tradition, the Dubbeglas was invented by butchers from the town of Bad Dürkheim because the often slippery bar glasses in the Palatinate slipped too easily from greasy hands during slaughter festivals. In terms of its function and texture, it is similar to the Mainzer Stange in the Palatinate. The glass known in Hesse as " Geripptes" (ribbed glass) and the ancient " Noppenglas" (dimpled glass) have the same purpose.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
