Calculate Liters in a Goblet
Calculator of how many liters, centiliters or milliliters fit in a goblet, chalice or wine glass of a certain size.
A drinking glass is often in the shape of a truncated spheroid. Calculating the volume of such a shape is very complicated. However, if the glass or goblet is filled exactly to the widest point, then a simple calculation is possible. The volume is then half the volume of a spheroid.
Example: a goblet that is 6 cm high and 8 cm wide, and thus filled at its greatest width, contains 0.2 liters.
Please enter the fill level and the filling width. The values refers to the inside of the glass without the wall. The volume in milliliters (ml), centiliters (cl), deciliters (dl) and in liters (l) is calculated. Eighths and quarters are common for wine.
This wine glass with a height of 4.9 centimeters and a widest point of 7 centimeters contains about 125 milliliters, that is one eighth of a liter.
Goblet is originally the name for a drinking vessel without a handle. Today, such vessels are usually simply called glass; the words goblet and chalice are rather outdated and are only used in a historical context and in liturgy (religious rituals). Goblets are often mystified and attributed a symbolic meaning. Here, goblet is used to describe the precise shape in which wine glasses are often designed. By no means all vessels historically referred to as goblets or chalices have this shape; a funnel shape, for example, was also common.
