edit: I’m more of a spirits guy, but I always thought rocking whiskey glasses were really cool. Apparently they were designed to house liquor or wine without spilling on a sailboat. I even have a decanter that goes with a similar tumbler set, though I have no idea where that is; still, always liked them. Obviously the sand temperature isn’t an issue with them, though.
There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.
Not sure whether it’s true, exactly, but from my experience with tilting my glasses, they don’t roll across a surface; they do rotate, or rock, but don’t spill unless overfilled.
I never took mine on a sailboat, nor did I take any others, so I can’t compare. However, I can say round bottomed cups are harder to spill than regular ones.
Yes, but I think the idea is that it won’t tip.
