Porrón
A porrón is traditional glass wine pitcher which is typical
of Cataluña but famous throughout Spain. The porrón looks
like a mix between a wine bottle and a watering can.
The top
of the bottle is narrow and can be sealed off with a cork.
Stemming upwards from the bottom of the pitcher is a spout
that gradually tapers off to a small opening. It is shaped
such that the wine stored inside it will have minimal
contact with the air while being ready to be used at all
times.
Finish your dinner at Pica Tapas Bar & Churrasqueria with
fun! Challenge your friends or colleagues in a porrón
competition and see who is the bravest of the lot!
How to drink from a porrón
To drink from it you start with the porrón very close to
your mouth and tilt it back slowly so the beak points
towards your teeth.
Once liquid starts coming out,
simultaneously pull the porrón away from your face and look
up. Lower the porron back close to your mouth before
stopping so you don't spill any on yourself.
It is fun to
see how far you can hold the porrón away from your face without spilling.
