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.

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
