Aeration Wine Glass

Abstract

A wine glass having a bowl with a protrusion on the inner surface of the bottom end. The wine glass may aerate and enhance the bouquet of wine contained therein while providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The protrusion may also include a hole to allow wine to flow therethrough for further aeration.

1 . A drinking glass configured to hold wine therein, comprising:
 a bowl having a top end and a bottom end, the bowl having an opening at the top end; and   a conically shaped protrusion integrally formed on an interior surface of the bottom end of the bowl,   wherein the protrusion is formed such that when the bowl is moved the protrusion creates turbulence to increase oxygen flow to enhance aeration of the wine.   
     
     
         2 . The drinking glass of  claim 1 , further comprising a stem having a top and a bottom, the stem extending from the bottom end of an exterior surface of the bowl for supporting the bowl thereon. 
     
     
         3 . The drinking glass of  claim 1 , further comprising a foot connected to the bottom of the stem for supporting the stem and bowl thereon. 
     
     
         4 . The drinking glass of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is symmetrical. 
     
     
         5 . A wine glass for holding wine, comprising:
 a bowl having a top end and a bottom end, the bowl having an opening at the top end; and   a conically shaped protrusion integrally formed on an interior surface of the bottom end of the bowl, the protrusion having at least one hole extending therethrough,   wherein the protrusion is formed such that when the bowl is moved the protrusion creates turbulence to increase oxygen flow to enhance aeration of the wine.   
     
     
         6 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , further comprising a stem having a top and a bottom, the stem extending from the bottom end of an exterior surface of the bowl for supporting the bowl thereon. 
     
     
         7 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , further comprising a foot connected to the bottom of the stem for supporting the stem and bowl thereon. 
     
     
         8 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one hole extends along a horizontal plane. 
     
     
         9 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one hole extends at an angle from a horizontal plane. 
     
     
         10 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of holes formed in the protrusion. 
     
     
         11 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of holes are parallel to each other. 
     
     
         12 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of holes intersect with each other. 
     
     
         13 . The wine glass of  claim 5 , wherein the protrusion is symmetrical.
