What type of glass and how many ounces are used to serve port wine?

Port wine is traditionally served in a small, stemmed glass known as a Port glass or Port wine glass. This type of glass is typically 2-3 ounces in size, with a wide bowl and a narrow rim.

While a 2-3 ounce serving is considered standard, the amount of Port you choose to serve will depend on individual preference and the specific occasion. You can also find larger Port glasses, often holding up to 6 ounces, but these are less common.

Here are some key considerations for choosing the right Port glass:

* Size: A smaller glass helps to concentrate the aromas of the Port.

* Shape: The wide bowl allows for the wine to breathe and release its flavors. The narrow rim helps to focus the aromas.

* Stem: A stem prevents the warmth of your hand from affecting the wine's temperature.

Remember, it's always best to serve Port at a slightly chilled temperature (around 60°F). This helps to enhance the wine's fruitiness and balance.
