A wine glass is a stemmed glass with a rounded bowl. In cocktails it's used for spritzes, sangria and other wine-based drinks over ice.

In practice

A large wine glass holds plenty of ice and a long pour of soda or sparkling wine, which is why the Aperol Spritz is served in one. The round bowl also holds the drink's aroma.
