  • Hock Glass - Hock wine glasses are the only wine glasses that have a coloured bowl, usually pale gree or golden on a long stem. Usually wine glasses are made of clear glass so that the colour of the wine can be studied.

    Hock was the name adopted by the British for German white wines, in the 17th century specifically from the Rhine region and later used to refer to any German white wine. The name "hock" was derived from the name of the town of Hochheim am Main in Germany.

    Nowadays the term "hock glass" is applied loosely to wine glasses that have bowls of any colour, including multicoloured sets, often with wheel-engraved decoration.
