balloon wine glass


Type:

Glasses & Vessels

Description:

A large style of wine glass, used for red and white (though mainly red) wines, popular from the 1960s on. Besides being designed to hold a relatively large volume of wine compared to its progenitors, it was made to expose a lot of wine surface area, presumably to speed up the "breathing" of the wine while cupping the aroma (or bouquet). It is a glass well suited to sangria and other wine-based mixed drinks.

Volume:

12.00 oz (default Mixology.Recipes volume; actual specimens may vary)
