Abstract

A beverage drinking glass includes a base support segment and a beverage holding vessel segment. The beverage holding vessel segment has at least one sidewall, a bottom, and a top rim to create the vessel segment. The bottom is connected to the base support segment. The top rim has a cut-out section to create a facial profile/nose-receiving depression, and the cut-out section is less than 50% of the peripheral length of the rim. The beverage drinking glass is preferably selected from the group consisting of tumbler, cup, wine glass, mug and goblet.
