Name (also Willibecher) for the standard German glass used mainly for beer, but also for wine and other drinks. The cylindrical, stemless glass is narrow at the bottom, somewhat more potbellied in the middle and tapers again towards the top. There are different sizes with 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 litres. It owes its name to its inventor, Willy Steinmeier, then sales manager at Glaswerke Ruhrglas AG. Since 1954, up to ten million pieces have been sold annually in many countries. See also the section on tumblers and the lists under wine vessels and wine glasses.

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.
