Mainz pole

Name (also Schoppeglas) for the special wine glass for everyday wines (draught wines) in the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (capital Mainz). It is a rod-shaped, thin-walled glass with a height of around 155 mm and a diameter of 60 mm and a volume of 0.4 litres. However, there are also variants with 0.5 litres. The slightly conical glass widens slightly at the top towards the opening. At the base, the stem is flattened polygonally (polygonal) around 60 mm high, making it non-slip (in cheaper versions with much thicker glass, the flat structures at the base are only imitated by printing). In terms of this function and texture, it resembles the dubbe glass in the Palatinate. The glass known in Hesse as " Geripptes" (ribbed glass) and the ancient " Noppenglas" (dimpled glass) have the same purpose.
