White wine

The white wine glass has been growing, but remains smaller than the red.
Older styles have capacities somewhat under eight ounces (240 mL); newer
designs somewhat under 12 ounces (360 mL). The traditional German glass
for riesling, the romer, is much smaller.

BTW, your RfcAASG annual membership is almost due, sweetums. You can
send me the cheque, I'll pass it right along
