🇬🇧 Wine glass meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

A wine glass is a special kind of drinking glass that grown-ups use for wine. It usually has three main parts: a flat round base that sits on the table, a long skinny stem that you hold, and a bowl-shaped top where the drink goes. The stem helps keep fingers away from the drink so it doesn’t warm up too fast, and it also makes the glass look fancy. Kids usually don’t drink from wine glasses, but they might see them at parties, restaurants, or special dinners. Sometimes people even use wine glasses for juice or sparkling water to feel extra fancy.
