Abstract
A liquid container can be present and used in at least two different positions. The liquid container may be a wine container, which can be a wine bottle in its first position and also be a wine glass in its second position. A method of serving a liquid includes placing a container in a first position in which the container serves as a bottle and converting the bottle into a glass or goblet without reassembling any part of the container by placing the container in a second position.
Claims19
A liquid container, which is in the shape of a bottle with an elongated section at its top in a first position and is convertible to a glass or goblet in a second position with the elongated section at the bottom without reassembling any part of the container, comprising:
- a first end comprising a closed end that is sealed with a first closure;
- a second end comprising an open end wider than said elongated section;
- a first body comprising said elongated section;
- a second body comprising a hollow container;
- and
- a second closure, which is adapted to seal said open end of said second end in said first position and to be detached from said open end of said second end in said second position;
- wherein in the first position the container has a first center of gravity from the first end to the midpoint of the first body when said container is empty and when said container is full of liquid;
- and
- wherein in the second position the container has a second of center of gravity from the second end to the midpoint of the second body when said container is empty and when said container is full of liquid and wherein, in the second position,
- the first end forms a base of the glass or goblet;
- the second end forms an opening of the glass or goblet;
- the first body forms a stem of the glass or goblet;
- and
- the second body forms a body of the glass or goblet.
A method of serving a liquid comprising:
- providing the liquid in a container, which is in the shape of a bottle with an elongated section at its top in a first position and a hollow body below the elongated section in the first position, wherein the container is in the first position in which the container has a first center of gravity from the midpoint of the elongated section to a bottom end of the hollow body, and wherein a detachable closure seals the bottom end of the hollow body in the first position;
- converting the container into a glass or goblet without reassembling any part of the container by placing the container in a second position in which the container has a second center of gravity from the midpoint of the hollow body to a bottom end of the elongated section;
- detaching the closure when the container is in the second position;
- and
- serving the liquid from the container in the second position without reassembling the closure to the container.
