A wineglass (10) having a bowl (14) of depth D and a bottom region (18) symmetrically disposed about a central axis (20) is provided with a protrusion (22) having a central core (24), attaching to the bottom region (18) of the bowl (14) and terminating in a central core free end (26), and one or more ledges (30) attached to the central core (24) and positioned to form one or more wine-supporting ledge surfaces positioned intermediate between the central core free end (26) and the bottom region (18) of the bowl (14). The protrusion (24) is disposed about the central axis (20) and has a height H that is preferably between about 0.5D < H < 0.8D. When the wineglass (10) is swirled, the wine-supporting ledge surfaces serve to catch the wine and allow the wine to subsequently fall back, thus aerating the wine and enhancing the perceived bouquet.
