What are Drinking Glasses?
Drinking glasses are part of a large glassware family known as beverageware or drinkware.
They are differentiated from mugs and cups by their glass construction and the fact that they lack handles. A drinking glass is often sold as part of a set with coordinating glasses in various sizes and shapes.

How much is a wine glass?
Standard white wine glass holds around 12 fluid ounces (360 mL).
How can you tell good glasses?
Another way to sound test the glassware is to lightly run a wet finger in a circular motion around the rim. If it’s crystal, you will be able to hear a subtle tone that emanates from it.
With a close eye, inspect the sharpness or smoothness of the cut. The smoother it is, the more likely it’s crystalware.
