This is what I might call a tulip glass?

Whatever they're called, I can't stand the ones with the stem and a rim which tapers inwards. You have to hold your head right back to get the last drop and if you're not careful, it goes right up your nose. Other than that, I'm really not that bothered about glasses but dislike drinking out of a branded glass with Peroni or Doom Bar on the sides as I drink neither. The glass I like the most is the old Lantern.

A customer in one of the local pubs I used to work in preferred his beer in a nonic pint glass, and told me the reason for the name was that the bulge two-thirds the way up the glass prevented the rim of the glasses chipping when racked / stored together, hence nonic = "no nicks", although this could be conveniently apocryphal.

I've also heard this but further thought that the bulge was simply to prevent the glass from slipping out of a wet hand which kinda makes sense.
