Something like these: <https://www.google.com/search?q=cognac+glasses&tbm=isch> However, you're right. I didn't notice that such tulip glasses always are shown partly filled. From the original text, I interpreted "a couple of oz" to mean two oz. That makes me curious why one would use a rather large glass for a rather small amount of cognac. <https://www.tastingtable.com/1474019/how-to-choose-glass-drink-cognac-neat/> "Cognac experts claim that tulip glasses give a wider range of smells due to the shape, whereas brandy snifters trap all of the aroma inside the glass leaving you with only the harsh scent of the alcohol." -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
