Except that I grew up letting the foreign guests figure out by themselves that they should bring back the porro to their mouth to avoid getting the wine on themselves.....haha! Porro also present in French Catalonia aka Roussillon was replaced by cups and glasses in the Catalan's homes only in the 60's. My mother remembers it ! 2 porros on the table at all times, 1 filled with fresh water and one with red wine...towards the end of the meal Sweet Muscat wine would replace the water. Visca Catalunya!
