ABSTRACT:
A wineglass having a bowl of depth D and a bottom region symmetrically disposed about a central axis is provided with a protrusion having a central core, attaching to the bottom region of the bowl and terminating in a central core free end, and one or more ledges attached to the central core and positioned to form one or more wine-supporting ledge surfaces positioned intermediate between the central core free end and the bottom region of the bowl. The protrusion is disposed about the central axis and has a height H that is preferably between about 0.5 D<H<0.8 D. When the wineglass is swirled, the wine-supporting ledge surfaces serve to catch the wine and allow the wine to subsequently fall back, thus aerating the wine and enhancing the perceived bouquet. The protrusion can include a pedestal sized to aid in measuring a sample volume of wine.
