A term used especially in Austria (Wien) (dialectally "Vierterl") for a wine glass with a capacity of 0.25 litres. The classic quarter glass at the Heuriger has no stem but a handle and is filled to the top. In Germany (e.g. Baden-Württemberg), the term "Viertele" is commonly used. The next smallest drinking glass is an eighth (dialectally "Achterl") with 0.125 litres. See also Schoppen and Wine vessels.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
