What is a copita?

A copita is a small, traditional glass used for drinking sherry and other fortified wines, originating from Spain. Typically, it features a narrow bowl and a slender stem, which helps to concentrate the wine's aromas and enhance the tasting experience. The design allows for easy handling and swirling, making it ideal for savoring the complex flavors of these wines. Copitas are often associated with sherry tastings and are a key part of Spanish wine culture.
