correct size wine glasses.?

[ibizaboy]

can anyone recommend some decent wine glasses please. whilst shopping around most stores have huge goblet style glasses which hold around a half pint at a time. ive found some 24cl glasses that look ok but what is 24cl in english please. thanks...

I think it's about 8 fluid ounces if that helps.

Look at the large wine glasses in your local pub, a 24cl glass holds about 1/3 of a 70cl bottle.

The large glasses seem all the fashion now. If you put a quarter of a standard wine bottle in each glass you will get 175 cl each which is equivilent to a large glass measure in a restuarant.

This is from No Mercy -

24cl is 240mls... Personally I like oversized glasses with just a small measure of wine in at a time, as the wine needs plenty of space in the glass to open up.

Tesco are currently giving away vouchers for Royal Worcester glassware. You get 1 voucher for every £20 you spend and 5 vouchers gets you 70% off any set of glasses or a decanter. They are very stylish and I am collecting the vouchers myself.

mls and cls are NOT the same - they are different by a factor of 100!
