Although both are drinking vessels, a wine glass and a water glass have significant differences in terms of shape, size, and sometimes material, as they are designed to optimize the tasting experience of each beverage. Here are the main distinctions: Size and Capacity for drinking Water glass or tumbler: Generally larger and has a greater capacity (approximately 24 cl on average, but can vary). It is intended to hold enough water to accompany the entire meal. Wine glass: Smaller in capacity (between 12 and 15 cl generally for a serving glass, but the size of the glass itself may be larger for aeration). The quantity served is smaller to allow the wine to release its aromas and maintain an ideal temperature. Shape of the bowl or stemmed glass (the part containing the liquid): Water glass: The shape is often simpler, straight or slightly flared. Aesthetics are the main factor, as water does not require aeration or concentration of aromas. What is the capacity of a water glass? The capacity of a water glass can vary considerably depending on its design and use. However, a standard capacity can be distinguished for everyday use: Standard capacity: Approximately 20 cl to 25 cl (i.e., 200 to 250 milliliters). This is the size most frequently found in homes and restaurants for serving water. However, there are smaller and larger water glasses: Small water glasses (or tumblers): Can hold approximately 15 cl or less. Large water glasses (or "tumblers"): Can reach 35 cl, or even more. In restaurants, water glasses with a capacity of around 24 cl are often found. It is therefore important to note that there is no single universal capacity for a water glass, but a range of common sizes. The size chosen often depends on personal preferences, the occasion, and the desired aesthetic. How is the water glass placed? The traditional placement of the water glass at the table follows a specific protocol, although in a more casual setting, the rules are often relaxed. Here are the general guidelines: In a formal table setting: Positioning: The water glass is placed at the top right of the cutlery, slightly above and to the right of the outermost knife (the table knife). Order of glasses: If there are several glasses (for red wine, white wine, etc.), the water glass is generally the largest and is located furthest to the right. The other wine glasses are placed to its left, diagonally or in a line, in order of decreasing size (from largest to smallest). In a less formal table setting: Positioning: The water glass generally remains to the right of the cutlery. Simplification: If there is only one glass in addition to the water glass, it will be placed to its left. The alignment may be less strict. The water glass is traditionally placed at the top right of the cutlery. In a more casual setting, it remains on the right, but the arrangement may be less strict in the presence of other glasses. It is worth noting that practices may vary slightly depending on the region, family, and level of formality of the occasion. However, the position to the right of the cutlery remains constant.
