Common name in Austria and Bavaria (Germany) for a small glass drinking vessel for schnapps and liqueur. It usually has a slightly conical or cylindrical shape. The small capacity of about 0.2 l makes it easy to empty the glass in one go. See also under Spirits Glasses and Spirits.

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.
