copa balón

Explanation:
Copa balón
Su forma presenta un abombamiento en la parte inferior, cerrándose hacia la boca. El tallo es corto. Se utiliza principalmente para el brandy y otros licores. Su forma de balón incita a envolverla con las manos, calentando así su contenido.

La copa que se emplea para este tipo de bebidas es la de vástago más corto, por lo que puede rodearse con la mano. Esta copa se utiliza tanto en la mesa como en la sala o estancia, y casi siempre después de la comida o cena acompañando al café. La copa para cognac es la única copa que no debe estar previamente colocada en la mesa, sino que debe colocarse al final de la comida o cena, si los invitados aceptan degustar un brandy o coñac.

Porrón o Balón

Explanation:
Son los vasos más pequeños y un poco panzones que se usan en Argentina para la cerveza. Cuando uno va al bar y pide un porrón o un balón ya se sabe que son de cerveza y cada uno de ellos es una medida distinta. El porrón es el más pequeño.

Siempre hablamos de vasos y no de copas que son las que tienen pie.
