hello - regret I'm unable to help with Continental drinking glasses - let's hope someone else will be able to help you.
However - just to say that the books tend to suggest that whilst pieces with coloured bowls are for white wine or pale sherry, generally those of clear glass are more likely to be for the darker drinks such as burgundy, port, darker sherry and liqueurs - depending on the size of the glass, of course.
You don't give the size or comment on wear, which are features that just possibly might help with dating. Gold banding was certainly a decorative feature on pieces from several countries in the C19, so it is possible that this might dae to c. 1880 - 1910, as you suggest, although stylistically it doesn't look to be particulary 'nouveau ish'.
A pic. of the underside of the foot is often helpful - does this piece have a solid stem/foot, or are they hollow? I don't know how this glass would have been finished - snapped from a pontil or not?

hi
the foot is hollow and bevelled ...
the top opening seems to be fire polished...
the gold banding is partially rubbed off...
the height is 12,5cm the diameter 6,3cm at opening rim
i cant find a pontil....
unfortunately it's hard to tell anything about the wear beside the loss of the gold banding...
it's thin walled and because of the hollow foot there are no visible traces...
sorry that i can't answer all questions but do hope the pictures might help a little
