Beverage glass and beverage glass assembly

Abstract

A beverage container assembly including a first beverage container having a first vessel body that has a first base. The first beverage container including a first rim defined on a first side wall distal to the first base. The first base has a convex shape in a central portion of the base. The first vessel body further including an edge connected to the first rim, wherein the edge lies entirely in a first plane that does not intersect a second plane that contains a free end of the first rim. The assembly further including a second beverage container defining a detent. The second beverage container including a second rim defined on a second side wall distal to the second base, wherein the edge is releasably and directly engaged by the detent of the second base such that the first beverage container is releasably engaged by the second beverage container.

         20 . An assembly comprising:
 a first beverage container comprising:
 a first vessel body comprising:
 a first base having a first perimeter; 
 a first side wall connected to said first base; 
 a first rim defined on said first side wall distal to said first base, wherein said first base, as viewed along an axis directed through an opening defined by said first rim and into said first vessel body, has a predominantly convex shape in a central portion of said base; 
 an edge connected to said first rim, wherein said edge lies entirely in a first plane that does not intersect a second plane that contains said first rim; and 
 
   a second beverage container comprising:
 a second vessel body comprising:
 a second base having a second perimeter and defining a detent; 
 a second side wall connected to said second base; and 
 a second rim defined on said second side wall distal to said second base, wherein said edge of said first beverage container is releasably and directly engaged by said detent of said second base of said second beverage container such that said first beverage container is releasably engaged by said second beverage container. 
 
   
     
     
         21 . The assembly of  claim 20 , wherein said first beverage container and said second beverage container each include a serving of wine. 
     
     
         22 . The assembly of  claim 20 , further comprising a lid that covers said first rim and is interposed between said first rim of said first container and said second base of said second beverage container. 
     
     
         23 . The assembly of  claim 20 , further comprising a cover that encloses said first beverage container and said second beverage container, said cover comprising an opening device that when manually operated provides access to at least one of said first beverage container and said second beverage container. 
     
     
         24 . The assembly of  claim 23 , wherein said opening device comprises two lines of holes formed in said cover and a tab area formed in said cover, wherein said two lines of holes extend from a first position opposite said first base of said first container to a second position opposite said second container and wherein said holes and said tab area are structured so that when said tab area is pulled downward material along at least one of said lines of holes and between said holes of said line are broken apart so that a slit-like opening is formed between said lines of holes and extends from said first position to said second position, and wherein each of said holes is defined by a circular free edge. 
     
     
         25 . The assembly of  claim 20 , wherein said first side wall comprises a side wall median and a central section having a maximum circumference greater than a circumference of said first base, the maximum circumference located at a position on said first side wall between said side wall median and said first base.
