From: The Christmas Sleigh Inc.Apfelwein Glass Sizes: Unveiling Traditions and Serving Etiquette
The size of the Geripptes glass is usually 0.25 liter although there is a larger variant that holds 0.3 liter, as well as a glass that holds the doubled amount of 0.5 liters.
Delivered by major pressing houses in 1-litre bottles, it is considered crude and unrefined to drink Apfelwein directly from the serving vessel, whether it be a bottle or a pitcher (Bembel).
Traditional Apfelwein restaurants and their habitual guests generally hold to the 0.3-litre standard. Therefore, a 0.25l glass is often named a Beschisserglas (rip-off glass) as it contains less Apfelwein for the same price.
