Dubbeglas

Common name in the German Palatinate (also Dubbeschoppe, Schoppenglas, Weinstange) for a glass for enjoying spritzer or wine. It usually has a volume of a Schoppen of 0.5 litres, but also 0.25 or one litre. The glass widens towards the bottom and the top and has small indentations on the outside to hold the fingertips and thus increase the grip. According to tradition, the Dubbeglas was invented by butchers from the town of Bad Dürkheim, because at slaughter festivals the bar glasses, which were often smooth in the Palatinate, slipped too easily from the greasy hand. In terms of this function or texture, it resembles the Mainzer Stange in the Palatinate. For the same purpose, the glass known in Hesse as " Geripptes" (ribbed glass) and the ancient " Noppenglas" (knobbed glass) have no indentations but elevations.
