Best Answer

If you are referring to the drinking glass also known as a brandy snifter, this is a short-stemmed glass (a wine glass is long-stemmed) with a wide bowl but narrow top, kind of like a teardrop with the point cut off. This shape temporarily traps the aromas in the glass, allowing the drinker to sniff the brandy, cognac, or Kool-Aid. Hence, the name "snifter."

put your finger horizontally across the bottom of the snifter and pour until it gets to the top of your finger. it's a colloquial term and not necessarily an accurate measurement.
