Re: Wine glasses/goblets

yes you can - but really goblets are meant for water.


Here is the definition
.


Goblet: capacity, 9 to 10 ounces. Usually from 7 to 8 inches high, the goblet has a flaring round bowl on a tall or short stem. The low goblet stem flares immediately into the foot and both types are used only for water. The goblet always has a foot, no matter how short the stem. It is the dominant member of the place-glass group and sets the style.

The long-stemmed or short-stemmed goblet is correct to use for the formal lunch, and footed or plain tumblers and short-stemmed goblets are used for buffets or formal breakfasts,

For punch service use a large silver, china, or glass bowl, with its accompanying ladle and small cup-like glasses with handles.
