Is anyone familiar with the old Italian custom of drinking wine from a coffee mug?
If so, could you please direct me to the history behind that tradition.
Thank you.

A little. I am albanian, and also in the tradition of my country we used to drink the wine in special cups made of earth and ceramics, which was told makes wine tastes better than in glass. This was brought to my country from romans.
