Port glasses

[gfron1]

I've just invested in a nice vintage Graham's and I want to get appropriate glasses. While the info was all over the place as to standard pour and glass size, one source whom I've always respected is Daniel Rogov, he suggested a 3 oz pour into a 4 1/2 oz glass. Problem is...I can't find any 4 1/2 glasses. They all seem to be closer to 8 oz.  Any thoughts?

How about a 4 oz. port wine glass? http://www.restockit.com/port-4oz-wine-glass-(09-1247).html

 

May not be crystal but if you are going to use them in the restaurant, you may not want super expensive glasses anyway.

I may be wrong, but I assume you mean for personal use, not for the restaurant.  Here are the port glasses that I favor:

 

 

 

The left is Baccarat Sully, the right is Comtesse De Paris.  These are about 4 1/2 ounces.

 

Please excuse that they are not filled with port at the moment, but I'm drinking margaritas.

For personal use, I have gotten some lovely glasses at antique and second-hand shops.

I use the Riedel Vinum port glass for fortified wines and sweet Rieslings. I like (repeated) small pours and I think the shape is important so you can give it a swirl--while they look quite nice, I'd worry a bit about slopping the drink out with the open-sided glasses Jo's posted above. Maybe I'm just too aggressive in my swirl.

By my estimate a 3 oz pour for a port or similar wine is massive.

I actually drink my port out of what are sold as large water goblets.  I use port glasses for spirits.
