Description

  The present invention relates to a beverage glass, particularly a wine glass, that can reliably hold a beverage. More particularly, the present invention relates to a wine glass that makes it possible to create the best atmosphere suitable for the situation of use.

  Wine is widely available in homes, restaurants, small and large social meetings and events, airplanes, bullet trains, and more. Wines are produced by placing grapes in barrels or jars and fermenting them with alcohol using natural yeast. After that, the wines are ripened in barrels for a few months to several years before being bottled and shipped.

  Bottled wine is usually transported to the place of use and, after opening, poured into a wine glass. However, vibrations are likely to occur strongly while moving on airplanes and bullet trains, and when pouring from a bottle into a wine glass, it not only splatters and loses outside the wine glass, but also splatters on the clothes of passengers. There is a risk of thinking. It is possible to prepare an appropriate amount of wine in a wine glass in advance, but a number of wine glasses are often carried on a tray at the same time, as is the case with immature waiters and waitresses There is a possibility of wine splashing out of the wine glass.

  Wine is drunk for a wide range of purposes, from home and casual restaurants to various formal ceremonies and conferences held in luxury hotels. The wine glass has a substantially constant shape, and it is difficult to greatly change the atmosphere created by the wine glass depending on the use situation, and it is only possible to engrave a pattern on the outer surface of the glass to give a high-class feeling.

  However, since wine is drunk in a wide range from cherry-blossom viewing to majestic banquets, wine glasses can give impressions according to each situation to the drinker and participants, and other information can be given to the wine. The glass is given more usefulness than just a beverage container.

As described above, the conventional wine glasses have some problems in terms of holding wine and suitability for situations. The same applies to beverage glasses other than wine.
Therefore, the objective of this invention is providing the glass for drinks which can hold | maintain the drink until just before drinking in a glass reliably.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a drinking glass that can give an impression or other information according to each use situation to a drinker or a participant.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in a beverage glass comprising a glass body having an opening, a sealing lid with an ear piece is attached to the entire periphery so as to seal the entire periphery of the opening of the glass. Then, a beverage is enclosed in the glass body.
As a result, beverages such as wine in the glass are surely enclosed, and the drinker does not spill out during transportation or before drinking. By removing all or part of the sealing lid from the opening of the glass, the opening is exposed, and it becomes possible to drink the beverage in the glass from the opening.

The beverage to be encapsulated is preferably wine, but besides wine, there are champagne, beer, whiskey, plum wine, cocktail, Chuhai, juice, coffee, tea, natural water, etc., and there is no particular limitation.
Glass is used as a material for the glass, but it is desirable to use a plastic such as an acrylic resin from the viewpoint of cost and impact resistance.

Information useful to participants such as drinkers and parties can be printed on the outer surface, usually the upper surface of the seal lid.
As the material of the sealing lid, any material that can be printed and has water resistance can be used. Examples of such a material include aluminum foil and water-resistant paper. In the present invention, instead of printing directly on the seal lid, information may be printed on an extremely thin transparent plastic sheet, and this sheet may be adhered to the outer surface of the seal lid. This aspect is also included, and in this case, the material of the seal lid may not be directly printable.

  For example, when the wine glass of the present invention is used at a wedding reception, a pair photo of the bride and groom is printed on the seal lid, and a message of thanks to the bride and groom attendees is also printed if necessary. If not, not only can the attendees be informed of the casual appearance of the bride and groom before the marriage, but it is easy, if any, to convey the feelings of the bride and groom to the attendees and to help make the reception more exciting. Can do.

The glass for beverages of the present invention can be used not only at wedding receptions, but also at parties such as birthday parties, various meetings and meetings, watching sports at soccer stadiums, at theaters, cherry-blossom viewing seats, restaurants such as restaurants, and homes. Can be used.
For celebrities, self-appeal is important, and various parties are opportunities. The objective can be achieved by printing a photograph of itself on the seal lid of the beverage glass of the present invention or printing a message for use by attendants.

Wines and other beverages are also offered at various conferences and the like, but since they were traditionally served in ordinary glasses, no impression was formed from the glasses themselves. However, if a wine glass with Mt. Fuji and traditional crafts printed on the seal lid is served at an international conference, for example, a positive image of Japan can be presented.
In addition, during theatrical performances, Kabuki, banquets, movies, etc., people often enjoy watching various drinks in their seats. Even in such a case, if the beverage enclosed in the glass for beverages of the present invention is provided, the spectator can reach his / her seat without spilling the beverage even when walking in a dark passage. Further, the organizer can improve the advertising effect on the audience by printing the performance contents and the schedule of the next performance on the seal lid.

In professional sports, so-called merchandise sales greatly contribute to sales.

When the beverage glass of the present invention is used as a wine glass, for example, it is not poured from the bottle into the glass, but since the wine has already been enclosed in the glass, it usually relates to the wine displayed on the label of the bottle. The brand name and production year, which are important information, cannot be communicated to the drinker. If these information is printed on the seal lid, the drinker can select wine in consideration of these information.
