Vessel linework

(IIUC that Italian wine bottle is the origin of "fiasco" in many other languages to mean "total failure".  Presumably by some story when someone wanted wine but got only the empty bottle...)


All the best, --stolfi

'Fiasco' means 'total failure' in Italian too (beyond being a bottle with a round bottom and an outside lining of straw), so this is probably the origin of its use in other languages. This use (it seems) comes from theater jargon.
