English term or phrase: a kind of bottle
Hi,

When I was in Catalonia I remember a kind of bottle (like a redoma?) which was tipped up and a narrow stream of wine was caught in the mouth. What is it called, please?

All the best,

if you write "porró" (and don't forget the last "o" has an accent on it "ó" !!!) on the google images browser you'll see several photographs of this bottle
