Scope note
Small wine glasses of distinctive shape and size, designed for drinking port, a type of sweet, dark red fortified wine, originally from Portugal. Port glasses have a round foot, a stem, and small bowl of any of several shapes; in a set of glasses having similar-shaped bowls, a port glass is distinguished by being smaller than the sherry glass, but not so small as the liqueur glass.
