"Ένα ποτήρι κρασί"

[EndlessOrbitSSX]

Wouldn't "a glass of wine" translate to "ένα ποτήρι κρασιού"?

Hi Adelantino! "ένα ποτήρι κρασιού" talks about the type of glass: "a wine glass"! Sometimes "of" takes the meaning of "με" (with). Properly, "a glass of wine" would be "ένα ποτήρι με κρασί" (a glass with wine), but graecophones commonly just say "ένα ποτήρι κρασί". It's the same with cups (ένα φλυτζάνι τσάι), plates (ένα πιάτο ρύζι), bottles (ένα μπουκάλι νερό), etc... Keep it up ;-)

Shouldn't "wine glass" also be accepted?

That would be "ποτήρι κρασιού or κρασοπότηρο".
