Recently, I invited a few friends over to my house to test out some metal wine glasses and cocktail tumblers. We tried the Yeti wine tumbler, the Klean Kanteen 8 oz tumbler, the Corkcicle classic stemless wine cup, the Yeti 10 oz. lowball rambler, and finally the Hydro Flask 10 oz tumbler. We put them all through very rigorous testing and evaluated them based on several different categories.
Style
In the style category we agreed that Corkcicle and Hydroflask were the winners. They come in a ton of different colors and look nice and sleek. We really like the look of the two Yetis but the colors they come in tend to be more masculine (navy, dark red, stainless steel, etc.) The Klean Kanteen only comes in black and stainless steel.
Chill Factor
The cups that kept our rosé/water/apple juice the coldest longest were the Yeti and the Klean Kanteen. Although, we also agreed that our glasses of rose never last that long so this would only be really important on a very hot day or a beach vacation.
Durability
My daughter decided that when she was done with her apple juice that she would throw the Klean Kanteen tumbler down our concrete steps. It didn’t dent at all. A little bit of the black color chipped off. This cup also comes in stainless steel, so I imagine you wouldn’t have the chipping problem with the stainless steel. We didn’t throw the other cups down the steps so I can’t tell you what would happen with them. The Yeti, however, felt the most sturdy in our hands.
Price (Cheapest to Most Expensive)
Klean Kanteen 8 oz. Tumbler: $17.95
Yeti 10 oz. Rambler Lowball: $19.99
Corkcicle Classic Stemless Wine Cup: $22.95
Hydro Flask 10 oz Wine Glass: $29.99
Yeti Wine Tumbler: $24.99 plus a lid for $9.99
Is it Leak Proof???
This was a fun test. We turned them upside down and shook them to see if liquid came out. (Don’t worry, we used water. I’m not one to waste rosé.) We only did this with the Corkcicle and the Yeti wine glass with the magnet slider lid. All of the other cups have lids that don’t close, so they will obviously leak. The Yeti didn’t lose a single drop! The corkcicle, on the other hand, was very leaky.
Overall
Our overall winner is the Yeti wine tumbler. It might be the most expensive one but it kept the wine cold for the longest amount of time. It didn’t leak, even when we shook super hard! It also feels very good in your hand. It is a high quality product and very durable. (Plus, doesn’t Brittni look super cool holding it?) Our second favorite is the Hydroflask wine tumbler. It comes in lots of pretty colors but is also very functional.
