sherry glass

Small stemmed goblet

A sherry glass is a small, narrow stemmed glass designed for serving sherry and other fortified wines.

The tapered shape concentrates the wine's aroma while the modest capacity—typically two to three ounces—suits drinks meant to be sipped slowly.

Also called a copita.
