  • a drinking vessel including:
  • a base for supporting the receptacle
  • the drinking vessel being characterised in that it is transformable between a drinking vessel configuration and a beverage container configuration, the receptacle and the base having complementary first securing formations for releasably securing the base to a lower end of the receptacle in the drinking vessel configuration of the drinking vessel, the receptacle and the base further having complementary second securing formations for releasably securing the base to an upper end of the receptacle for closing off the top of the receptacle in the beverage container configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the first securing formations of the receptacle and the base may be in the form of complementary screw thread formations. More particularly, the first securing formation of the receptacle may be in the form of a spigot formation defining an external screw thread and the first securing formation of the base may be in the form of a complementary socket defining an internal screw thread into which the spigot formation can be screwed.
  • the second securing formation of the receptacle and the base may be in the form of complementary screw thread formations. More particularly, the second securing formation of the receptacle may be in the form of a screw thread defined on an inner side of the receptacle adjacent the rim of the receptacle and the second securing formation of the base may be in the form of a complementary screw thread defined along a peripheral edge of the base.
  • the drinking vessel may have a removable secondary closure means which is located proximate an upper end of the receptacle and which forms a fluid- tight seal with the receptacle for closing off the receptacle so as to define an enclosed space in which the beverage is contained in the beverage container configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the secondary closure means may be in the form of a sheet element which is secured along a peripheral edge thereof to the receptacle. In use, the secondary closure means provides a tamper evident fluid-tight seal for sealing in a beverage held in the receptacle in the beverage container configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the receptacle in the drinking vessel configuration of the drinking vessel, may have a cup-shaped upper portion which defines the upper end of the receptacle and a relatively narrower lower hollow neck portion which defines the lower end of the receptacle and which defines a filler opening at the lower end, through which the receptacle can be filled with the beverage.
  • the drinking vessel may include a closure for closing off said filler opening.
  • the closure for closing off said filler opening may be a stopper which can be press-fitted into the filter opening thereby to form a fluid-tight closure for the filler opening.
  • the drinking vessel in its drinking vessel configuration, may have the form of a wine glass wherein the upper portion of the receptacle provides the cup of the wine glass, the neck portion of the receptacle provides the stem of the wine glass and the base provides the base of the wine glass.
  • the drinking vessel and more particularly the wine glass may be of any suitable material, such as glass, plastic or the like.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic exploded perspective view of a drinking vessel in accordance with the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a schematic side elevation of the drinking vessel of Figure 1 , in a beverage container configuration thereof;
  • Figure 3 shows a schematic side elevation of the drinking vessel of Figure 1 , in a drinking vessel configuration thereof.
  • a drinking vessel in accordance with the invention is designated generally by the reference numeral 10.
  • the drinking vessel 10 is of glass or plastic material and comprises an open-topped receptacle 12 for holding a beverage such as wine and a base 14 on which the receptacle is supported in a drinking vessel configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the drinking vessel is transformable between the drinking vessel configuration wherein the drinking vessel has the shape of a wine glass (as is illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawings) and a beverage container configuration wherein the receptacle 12 is sealed closed for holding a beverage such as wine therein (as is illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings).
  • wine can be held in and consumed from the receptacle 12
  • wine is held in the receptacle, for example, for transport or display on a shelf at a retail outlet.
  • the receptacle 12 comprises an open-topped cup portion 16 and a relatively narrower hollow neck portion 20 which defines a filler opening 21 at its distal end, through which the receptacle can be filled with a beverage.
  • the rim 18 defines the upper end of the receptacle, whereas the distal end of the neck portion 20 defines the lower end of the receptacle.
  • the receptacle 12 has a first securing formation in the form of a spigot formation 22 which is defined at a distal end of the stem 20.
  • the spigot formation 22 defines an external screw thread 24.
  • the base 14 has a circular configuration when viewed in plan view and defines a raised boss 26 defining a complementary first securing formation in the form of a socket 28 defining an internal screw thread formation 30 into which the spigot formation 22 is screwed in the drinking vessel configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the raised boss defines a flat support surface 32 which can be located on a flat surface for supporting the drinking vessel in its beverage container configuration.
  • the receptacle 12 defines a screw thread 34 on an inner side of the cup 16 adjacent the rim 18 and the base 14 defines a complementary external screw thread 36 along a peripheral edge thereby permitting the base 14 to be screwed into the cup 16 to close off the top of the cup in the beverage container configuration of the drinking vessel.
  • the drinking vessel includes a cork stopper 37 which is press-fitted into the filler opening 21 of the receptacle to thereby provide a fluid-tight closure for the filler opening.
  • the drinking vessel has a removable secondary closure means in the form of a disc-shaped metal foil seal 38 which is secured along a peripheral edge thereof, to an inner side of the receptacle adjacent the screw thread formations 34 in the beverage container configuration of the drinking vessel, so as to provide a fluid-tight seal for closing off the receptacle thereby to define an enclosed space within which the wine is contained.
  • the seal 38 includes a lift tab 40 which allows the seal 38 to be lifted and peeled from the receptacle 12.
  • the seal 38 is secured to the receptacle as described above and the base 14 is screwed into the cup of the receptacle. With the base 14 lowermost, the receptacle is filled with the beverage. The cork stopper is thereafter press-fitted into the filler opening 21 thereby sealing the beverage within the container.
  • the drinking vessel is stowed for transport or display on, for example, a shelf in a retail outlet resting on its base in its beverage container configuration.
  • the drinking vessel is inverted, the base 14 is unscrewed from the cup and screwed onto the distal end of the neck portion 20 of the receptacle.
  • the seal 38 is then removed allowing the beverage to be consumed.
  • the drink vessel In its drinking vessel configuration, the drink vessel resembles a wine glass, with the cup of wine glass being provided by the cup portion 16, the stem of the wine glass being provided by the neck portion 20 and the base of the wine glass being provided by the base 14.
  • the drinking vessel in accordance with the invention conveniently combines a drinking vessel and a container in which a beverage to be consumed using the drinking vessel, can be held while being transported and stowed.
  • the drinking vessel is suitable, although not exclusively intended for use with wine or the like and obviates the need for the purchase of a separate wine container (typically a wine bottle) and drinking vessel.
  • a separate wine container typically a wine bottle
  • the drinking vessel in accordance with the invention provides a single 'glass' of wine which can be consumed entirely soon after opening, thereby avoiding the degradation referred to above.
