Description

[0001] The invention relates to a drinking vessel in the style of a champagne glass or a champagne tulip.

[0002] Champagne glasses or champagne tulips are well known, featuring a cup for the drink and a base attached to it, and are typically made of glass. The disadvantage is that glass can break easily, making such drinking vessels unsuitable for use in wellness areas or swimming pools, for example, as there is a risk of injury to users walking barefoot. Alternatively, champagne glasses or champagne tulips can also be made of plastic, although such drinking vessels generally appear low-quality.

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a high-quality drinking vessel with a wide range of applications.

[0004] The object is achieved according to the invention by a drinking vessel having the features of patent claim 1.

[0005] Advantageous embodiments and further developments are specified in the dependent claims.

[0006] The drinking vessel according to the invention in the style of a sparkling wine glass or a champagne tulip with a holder for the beverage and a base arranged thereon with a support surface is characterized in that the drinking vessel is made of stainless steel and that the holder is double-walled with a negative pressure in the intermediate space. Stainless steel is typically shatter-proof, rust-proof and tasteless and has a high-quality appearance. A drinking vessel made of stainless steel is therefore also suitable for use in areas where glass is generally undesirable. The double-walled design of the holder results in thermal insulation, which makes the drinking vessel according to the invention versatile in use, in particular for both chilled sparkling wine or champagne and heated beverages, such as heated sparkling wine or champagne.

[0007] Preferably, the base is detachably attached to the bowl. Since sparkling wine or champagne glasses are typically taller than other drinking vessels, a detachable base allows for space-saving packaging and better utilization of storage space. Conventional one-piece sparkling wine or champagne glasses are often difficult to place in a dishwasher due to their considerable height. This disadvantage is eliminated by a drinking vessel with a detachable base, as the base can be removed for cleaning and placed in the dishwasher independently of the bowl.

[0008] Particularly preferably, the base is detachably fixed to the receiving tray by means of a magnet. A magnetic connection can be integrated into the base and the receiving tray in such a way that an easy-to-clean surface is created, since no threads, locking projections, clamping receptacles, or similar structures are required.

[0009] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnet is arranged in the base area of ​​the receiving tray, and the base is made of magnetic stainless steel. This design enables reliable fixation and easy detachment between the receiving tray and the base.

[0010] A preferred development of the invention provides that the center of mass of the drinking vessel is arranged such that the drinking vessel floats upright when placed in a water bath, especially even when the drinking vessel is filled with a beverage. Particularly when using the drinking vessel in wellness areas or swimming pools, the user may wish to take the drinking vessel into the water. This creates a surprising and impressive effect for the user if the drinking vessel is balanced such that it floats upright in the water, especially when the drinking vessel is filled with a beverage.

[0011] Preferably, the drinking vessel has a height such that the center of mass of the drinking vessel, especially when the cup is filled with a beverage, is located in the area between the support surface of the base and half the height of the drinking vessel. In other words, the center of mass of the drinking vessel, especially when the cup is filled with a beverage, is located in the lower half of the drinking vessel to facilitate floating in water.

[0012] Advantageously, the drinking vessel is rotationally symmetrical, which further promotes upright swimming in the water.

[0013] According to an advantageous development of the invention, an opening of the drinking vessel, in particular the drinking opening of the receiving bowl, can be closed with a lid, which can be inserted into the opening of the drinking vessel in a friction-locking manner, in particular by means of a preferably circumferential seal. Such a lid is particularly advantageous when the drinking vessel is carried around, for example, in wellness areas, swimming pools, or even at fairs and Christmas markets, to prevent accidental spillage of the beverage.

[0014] A method according to the invention for filling a drinking vessel according to the invention with a heated beverage based on sparkling wine or champagne comprises the following steps: - Heating a base drink made from a mixture of sparkling wine or champagne with spices to a temperature between 70° and 90°, preferably between 75° and 81°, particularly preferably to a temperature of 78°, - filling a quantity of 70 ml to 90 ml, preferably a quantity of 74 ml to 78 ml, particularly preferably a quantity of 76 ml, of the heated base beverage into the receiving bowl, - Pouring a quantity of 30 ml to 50 ml, preferably a quantity of 35 ml to 45 ml, particularly preferably a quantity of 40 ml, of chilled sparkling wine or champagne into the receiving bowl.

[0015] When carbonated beverages, such as sparkling wine or champagne, are heated, the carbon dioxide breaks down, so carbonated beverages are traditionally consumed chilled. Surprisingly, it has been shown that heated sparkling wine or champagne can be produced using such a process.

[0016] An embodiment of the invention is explained in detail with reference to the following figures. Fig. 1 a perspective view of an embodiment of a drinking vessel according to the invention with a receiving tray for a beverage and a base, Fig. 2 a side view of the drinking vessel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a view from below of the drinking vessel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 4 a section of the drinking vessel along the line AA in Fig. 2, Fig. 5 a perspective view of the base of the drinking vessel according to Fig. 1, Fig. 6 a side view of the stand according to Fig. 5, Fig. 7 a view from below of the stand according to Fig. 5 and Fig. 8 a top view of the stand according to Fig. 5.

[0017] The Fig. 1 to 8 show various views of an embodiment of a drinking vessel 10 according to the invention in the manner of a sparkling wine glass or a champagne tulip, comprising a cup 20 for the beverage and a base 30 arranged thereon with a support surface 31. The support surface 31 faces the table, particularly when the drinking vessel 10 is placed on a table or the like. The drinking vessel 10 can be rotationally symmetrical.

[0018] The drinking vessel 10, i.e. both the receiving bowl 20 and the base 30, is made of stainless steel.

[0019] The receiving tray 20 is, as shown in particular in Fig.4, it is double-walled, with an outer wall 21, an inner wall 22, and a space 23 between the outer wall 21 and the inner wall 22, wherein the space 23 is closed. A negative pressure is created in the space 23. In particular, the receiving tray 20 can be produced by vacuum drawing.

[0020] The base 30 can be detachably attached to the receiving tray 20, for example, by means of a magnet 40. The magnet 40 is preferably not visible from the outside and is arranged in particular in a base region 25 of the receiving tray 20. The base 30 can be made of magnetic stainless steel, for example. The base 30 can have a contact contour 35, for example in the form of an annular projection extending in the axial direction, which can engage in a corresponding contact contour, for example designed as an annular groove, of the receiving tray 20, which is arranged on the base surface 26 of the receiving tray 20 facing the base.

[0021] The center of mass of the drinking vessel 10 is arranged in particular such that the drinking vessel 10 floats upright when placed in a water bath, in particular even when the receiving tray 20 is filled with a beverage. The drinking vessel 10 has a height H. The center of mass of the drinking vessel 10, in particular even when the receiving tray 20 is filled with a beverage, can be arranged in the area between the support surface 31 of the base 30 and half the height H / 2 of the drinking vessel 10.

[0022] Due to the gap 23 arranged between the inner wall 22 and the outer wall 21 and the coordinated arrangement of the center of mass of the drinking vessel 10, it is possible for the drinking vessel 10 to float upright in the water in a balanced manner, in particular when a beverage has been poured into the receiving bowl 20.

[0023] An opening 27 of the drinking vessel 10, which is in particular the drinking opening of the receiving bowl 20, can be closed with a lid (not shown) which can be inserted into the opening 27 of the drinking vessel 10 in a frictionally engaged manner, in particular by means of a preferably circumferential seal.

[0024] The drinking vessel 10 can, for example, be filled with a heated beverage based on sparkling wine or champagne in the following manner: First, a base beverage consisting of a mixture of sparkling wine or champagne with spices is heated to a temperature between 70° and 90°, preferably between 75° and 81°, particularly preferably to a temperature of approximately 78°. Subsequently, an amount of 70 ml to 90 ml, preferably an amount of 74 ml to 78 ml, particularly preferably an amount of 76 ml, of the heated base beverage is poured into the receiving bowl 20. Finally, an amount of 30 ml to 50 ml, preferably an amount of 35 ml to 45 ml, particularly preferably an amount of 40 ml, of chilled sparkling wine or champagne is poured into the receiving bowl 20 and the heated base beverage already present therein. Although the carbon dioxide decomposes when carbonated beverages are heated, a heated carbonated beverage can be provided in this way.The mixture of the heated base drink with the chilled sparkling wine or champagne results in a pleasant drinking temperature.

[0025] Due to the thermal insulation of the receiving tray 20, the heated beverage thus provided can be prevented from cooling down too quickly and a pleasantly warm drinking temperature can be maintained for a period of at least one or two hours.
