Modular glass

Abstract

The present invention discloses a modular drinking glass with interchangeable parts, and which is particularly simple and functional, with reduced costs. The modular glass includes a glass portion, a stem, a cork, and a lid. The stem portion is attached to the glass portion from its bottom. The cork is removably attached to a lower portion of the stem. The cork is removably attached to a hollow circular portion of the lid. The lid is usable as a cap as well as a stand for the glass. The modular glass further includes a seal for covering a top of the glass and is used to maintain freshness of a sealed beverage in the glass.
