porron
[pawr-RAWN]
A Spanish glass wine container with a narrow, pointed spout that shoots a stream of wine directly into a drinker's mouth. The concept is similar to that of the goatskin BOTA bag from Spain. The use of a porron takes skill and good guzzling ability to keep up with the steady stream of wine.
