Wine Glasses

A wine glass is a piece of drinking equipment used to serve and drink wine. It has been used since the ancient times, when wine was considered as a drink for the upper class. The first known wine glass was invented by a French nobleman in the year 1680. The glass was made from crystal and had a stem. The stem was usually made of silver or gold. In 17th century, the stem was replaced with a stem made of silver or gold. The stem was made into a shape of a cup with a lip around it. This is called as the ‘French wine glass’.

In the 19th century, the stems were made from silver or gold. The stems were usually straight and pointed. They had a lip at one end which made them look like a cup. The stem was usually curved at the bottom so that the glass could fit into the hand of the drinker. These are called the ‘American wine glasses’.

In the 20th century, the stem was made from silver or gold and the lip was replaced with a bowl. These are called the ‘British wine glasses’.
