Camco Stainless Wine Tumbler Set 51916, 2-Pack

These are Camco's Life is Better at the Campsite wine tumblers, and they solve a simple problem. Real wine glasses don't belong on a boat, at a campsite, or on a picnic table. One good wave or one bumped elbow and you're picking glass out of the cockpit sole. This set gives you two 8 ounce tumblers built from 18/8 stainless steel, so you get the feel of a proper wine glass without the shatter risk. And because they nest down without the stems, they store easy in tight quarters where a wine glass simply won't fit.

Each tumbler is vacuum insulated with a double wall. That's the part that matters out on the water. A chilled white or rose stays cold in your hand instead of going warm in ten minutes under the afternoon sun, and the outside doesn't sweat all over the table the way a single-wall cup does. The same wall works the other direction too, so a hot cider or coffee holds its heat on a cool evening. One cup, both jobs.

The removable stems are the clever bit. Twist them off and you've got a low, stable stemless tumbler that sits flat and packs down small in a galley drawer or a cooler. Twist them on and you've got a real wine glass for the evening. The set ships with one green stem and one yellow stem, which sounds like a small thing until you and your crew set two identical cups down on a crowded table and can actually tell whose is whose.

Every tumbler comes with a BPA-free lid. Snap it on and you can hand a full cup across the cockpit, set it in a holder while you're underway, or toss the pair in a tote for the ride to the beach without wine going everywhere. The lid also slows down how fast a cold drink warms up, and it keeps bugs out on a summer night at the campsite.

18/8 stainless is the same grade used in kitchen flatware. It won't rust in salt air, it won't hold flavors or odors between drinks, and it shrugs off the kind of drops and knocks that would end a glass or ceramic cup. These are meant to live in a boat, an RV, or a camp box and get used hard, season after season.

Who are these for? Anybody who wants a civilized glass of wine somewhere real glass is a bad idea. Boaters running a sundowner in the cockpit. RVers at the campsite. Folks tailgating, poolside, or out on the dock. They make a good gift too, especially for the couple that just got their first boat or camper. Standing about 7 inches tall with the stems on, they look the part, and they'll outlast the stemware in your kitchen cabinet.

Because it's a two-pack, it suits a couple or works as one half of a bigger table. Bring a set for you and your first mate, or gift a set and keep a set. And since the stems come off, they double as everyday tumblers for water, juice, or a cocktail when you're not pouring wine, so they earn their spot where every cup has to pull double duty.

A couple of honest notes. These are an 8 ounce pour, so they're sized like a proper glass of wine, not an oversized novelty cup. And like most vacuum-insulated stainless drinkware, they do best with a hand wash rather than a run through a hot dishwasher, which helps protect the insulating seal over the long haul. Treat them right and they'll be riding along on trips for years.
