Abstract: The present invention is directed to a stackable, recyclable, plastic beverage tasting vessel, preferably used for tasting wine. The vessel comprises a bottom portion and a side wall extending upwardly and outwardly from the bottom portion and terminating in an open top having an outwardly extending rim. The rim comprises one or more of the following portions: (a) a curved portion with a plurality of radially extending ridges for aerating the beverage, (b) an angled edge portion, and (c) a curved pouting lip portion. The vessel may further comprise a raised portion or dome formed in the bottom of the vessel and projecting upwardly into the interior of the vessel, and a platform portion formed on a portion of the raised portion. The vessel may further comprise at least one radially projecting rib integral with the interior surface of the side wall and positioned opposite the platform portion. The platform portion and the rib are designed to maximize the mixing of the beverage inside the vessel.
