Germany, is probably more known for beer and large decorative beer cups than wine and wine glasses. However, Germany has a rich wine history, which includes unique and decorative hand painted fine stoneware porcelain wine goblets and vintage green stem römer or roemer glasses. German wine dates all the way back to ancient Roman times, around 70 - 270 AD. In those days, the western parts of today's Germany, made up the outpost of the Roman Empire that fought against the Germanic tribes on the Eastern side of Rhine River. Before the era of Charlemagne, it is in Western Germany and in the Roman outposts that Germanic viticulture was primarily practiced. Charlemagne is supposed to have brought wine east of the Rhine to Rheingau or Rhein. In the Rhein, German vineyards flourished for several medieval centuries. The vineyards of Germany expanded, until it is believed they reached their greatest extent, sometime around 1500. Today, German wine is still produced primarily in the Rhein region of Germany. Whether you are a fan of German wine or not, German wine has an important place in history and played a large role in the expansion of Christianity in Europe. To drink their wine, German glass and stein makers, created a uniquely shaped wine glass called a römer or roemer glass, which is perfect for German wine, as well as decorative hand painted porcelain stoneware goblets. Vintage German roemer glasses and authentic hand painted porcelain wine goblets for sale are decorative, collectible, make great gifts, have a unique history and make drinking wine, especially German wine, more enjoyable and fun.

  The vintage green stem römer or roemer glass is the original German wine glass. The roemer, is a type of wineglass that evolved in the Rheingeu Rhein River wine country areas of Germany over several centuries, until reaching its present form (which is considered perfection by German wine enthusiasts) in the 17th century. The shape of an authentic German roemer goblet is a hemisphere, superimposed on a cylinder, with a hollow foot, which is made by coiling threads of molten glass around a conical core. Authentic German Rhein made römer wine glasses and goblets always have solid colored green stems and most, but not all roemers have decorative gold rims. They are called römer glasses as a tribute to the Romans, who first brought wine to Germany. The green stem comes from the potash and sand from the forest, called “forest glass”. Originally the entire roemer glasses was all solid green, but wine lovers felt that the green interfered with the color and presentation of the wine, as well as prevented the drinker from judging the purity of the wine. For these reasons German roemer wine glass goblet makers started making them with a green stem and clear bowls. The bowls themselves are often decorated with paintings and etched glass. To this day almost every German household has a set of these unique and decorative German Rhein made vintage green stem roemer wine glass goblets.

  Handmade medieval style stoneware porcelain German wine goblets and glasses date back almost as far as römer glasses. One of the primary reasons for the decline of wine and the amount of vineyards in the Rhein area of Germany is because of the rise of German beer in 16th century. During this time decorative hand painted porcelain beer steins became very popular throughout medieval Germany. However, no matter how popular beer became, wine continued to have its place in German culture. Vintage stoneware stein makers, particularly ones in the Rhein area wanted to capitalize from the German wine market, and often manufactured decorative hand painted porcelain wine glasses, as well as steins. These German made and hand painted porcelain wine goblets, are often similar in shape to roemer glasses, but other than that they are very different. Unlike authentic römer glasses for sale, which have characteristics such as the green stem that always stay the same, medieval style porcelain German wine goblets feature a variety of different artistic accents. Real porcelain German wine goblets, like stoneware beer steins, are extremely decorative, feature a variety of colors and different hand painted reliefs. These porcelain wine glasses were sold primarily as novelties, gifts and decorations. However, medieval stoneware wine glasses and goblets were also used for celebrations, as well as day to day wine drinking.

  Today, authentic German made vintage green stems roemer glasses and real hand painted porcelain wine goblets are just as decorative, collectible and unique today as they were during medieval times. Both real römer wine goblets and hand decorated stoneware porcelain wine glasses, look great as part of a collection or as their own unique and decorative accent. The shape of vintage German roemer wine glasses and authentic hand painted Rhein made porcelain wine goblets, has been perfected for German wines, as well as a variety of other red and white wines. German wine glasses are also fun and different when compared to traditional stemware. Decorative hand painted porcelain wine goblets and vintage green stem German roemer glasses make drinking wine with friends and family that much more of fun and memorable experience. They also make great gifts for the German wine enthusiast, historian, specialty/novelty cup collector or person that has everything. Whether shopping for yourself or looking for a great gift, authentic green stem German Rhein roemer glasses and decorative hand painted porcelain medieval style wine goblets make a great addition or start to your or their collection and will be appreciated, used, talked about and enjoyed for years and years and more than likely passed down as collectible heirloom.
