"The American glass, also known as the 'Nadir Figueiredo® glass', due to the family name of the first industry to manufacture it, contains a rather low volume (190 ml) and is exceptionally ugly (Fig. 8)."

Glad to see this one mentioned. In fact, it is so popular that it has become a standard unit of measure in Brazilian recipes. The reason it is so popular is because most beer sold in Brazil comes in 600 ml bottles to be shared by everyone at the table. Beer drinking in Brazil is mostly a social activity.
