All glassware
Drinkware
Port Glass
Fortified wines: Port, Madeira, Sherry and Marsala.
The Shape
A small, narrow bowl with a defined taper, holding roughly three ounces.
How the Bowl Affects Aroma
The compact bowl restrains high alcohol so dried-fruit, nut and caramel aromatics come through instead of spirit.
How the Rim Affects Drinking
The tight rim slows the pour across the palate, drawing out the long, sweet finish typical of fortified wine.
