But what really enlivens a party, event, or even a typical night at home are hilariously giant wine glasses. Some of these monstrous vessels hold an entire bottle of wine, and they’re just funny as heck. Please, just don’t laugh when you drink, or you’ll need lots of stain remover.
Standard Size of a Wine Glass
A standard wine glass can hold up to 12 ounces of wine, but a standard pour is approximately 5 ounces in the United States. Wine is meant to be observed and swirled, and wine should sit low in the glass. Hotels, bars, and restaurants use standard wine glasses, and you’ll see average glasses in kitchen cabinets at nearly every home.
World’s Largest Wine Glass
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest wine glass in the world measures 12 feet 8 inches tall and 6 feet 8 inches wide. In April 2012, this huge glass was first presented in Malta and then measured by the Guinness World Record committee and declared the world’s largest wine glass. Its material is acrylic, and it was made by an organization called Kumitat Festi Esterni San Gorg Hal Qormi.
