Yeti Rambler 10-Ounce Wine Tumbler Review: A Rugged Cup for Delicate Wine Leave a comment

I’m a wine slob. That shouldn’t be a typo; I get pleasure from wine in solely probably the most chaotic, uncivilized of settings.

The downside is that I’ve by no means been a lot of a wine particular person. The posh decorum related to wine tradition has at all times left a bitter style in my mouth. (With notes of baking spices.) The precise style of wine additionally by no means appealed to me, although admittedly my palate is as refined as a boulder.

But after years of avoiding the stuff, I’ve discovered I used to be merely approaching wine incorrect. Turns out, all it took to open me as much as a complete booze style was the best vessel. 

The (deep breath) Yeti Rambler 10-Ounce Wine Tumbler with MagSlider Lid is a squat chrome steel goblet of unparalleled sturdiness. It appears to be like like the highest a part of a daily wine glass, minus the stem. Its teardrop form is shaped out of vacuum-insulated double partitions that keep the temperature of the liquid inside, identical to your favorite travel mug. The tumbler is completed with a grippy matte exterior that makes you wish to simply cradle it in your fingers. The plastic prime matches snugly within the goblet’s mouth. A sliding lid allows you to shut all factors of entry and egress for a spill-proof wine imbibing expertise. It prices $25. At the time of this writing, you may select between eight completely different colours. It is dishwasher protected and may take an absolute beating.

I perceive that “this boy thicc” shouldn’t be normally the way you wish to hear somebody describe a wine glass. Traditional wine glasses are skinny, elegant, and fragile. They telegraph the drinker’s sophistication. A fancy wine glass says, “I am classy enough to drink alcohol and not shatter the glass because it slipped out of my idiot hand.”

We can’t all be held to such a excessive commonplace. Some of us (I’m not naming names) will be inclined to drop or tip over drinks even in a state of stone-cold sobriety. At a flowery banquet or tasting expedition, the act of ingesting wine is an anxiety-inducing setup for nearly sure embarrassment.

What I want is a cup that might cease a bullet. The Yeti Rambler 10-Ounce Wine Tumbler with MagSlider Lid exceeds my uncouth and exacting requirements. I’ve flipped it the other way up. I’ve dropped it, kicked it, drop-kicked it (as a check) and nonetheless solely splattered the slightest of splotches throughout my numerous family rugs. Ah, however a standard huge wine glass lets the wine aerate, you say? That’s cool. I can aerate my grog by taking off the lid and swishing … or simply chucking the tumbler throughout the room.

I settle for that I’m an uncivilized swine. I don’t know if I’ll ever totally admire wine, or be capable of restrain a giggle after I hear the phrase “mouthfeel.” But I do know that I’ll most likely hold ingesting it, anyplace and in every single place, so long as I’ve this booze-filled hand grenade.

The Yeti is for seaside wine. It is for the bag slappers day-drinking sacs of Franzia within the park. It is for individuals with stone flooring. It is for individuals with carpet. It is for anybody topic to the legal guidelines of gravity and cursed with inexplicably sweaty palms. It is for those who know, deep of their hearts, that wine simply tastes higher when you may safely take it on a trampoline.
