Today's In the Kitchen with Mary

rose123 — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 19:03:13 GMT

On today's ITKWM, there was a guest showing the Manna Helix Set of 2 - 26 oz. Insulated Tumblers. The guest demonstrated how to take an entire bottle of wine and pour it into one of these large tumblers, so you can take it to the beach with you. My heavens..........was she really suggesting that people sit on the beach, drink the entire bottle, get good and plastered, and then drive home?

Hopefully they'd be generous enough to share! But on the public beaches I know, even sharing that wine would be illegal!

Seems like the tumbler company ought to train their reps to demonstrate using a different beverage.

It was a poor choice.

I think she wanted people to see that it can hold a bottle of wine for other occasions other than the beach. Some of you so call perfect people need to think outside of the box sometime. Where I live they have Jazz in the park,but other times you can bring that same wine chilled to a dinner party. It is all about options when you are selling items and at the end of the day it is up to the person on how to use it.

I don't know because I didn't see it. Did she say it was mandatory to drink the entire tumbler full of wine alone and then get into a car and drive. Some people have beach houses or hotels on the beach, so one can waddle back without a car.

When we visit family in the summer we try and go to a concert at one of the estates in the area. Everyone brings blankets, beach chairs, food and this type of container for beverage of choice.

No, she specifically mentioned taking it to the beach. It is not a matter of "thinking outside of the box". Of course the tumblers could be used for other purposes; i.e. lemonade, iced tea, fruit punch or coffee. My comment was in response to what the guest was promoting.

Our beach prohibits alcohol, but I'm sure that many don't abide.

An entire bottle of wine is really only three or four glasses. Over the course of an afternoon with some snacks, that is not an irresponsible amount.

I have heard everything now....I do not believe that it was her intension to offend anyone,and I donot believe she meant for those having wine on the beach,meant they should drive drunk...I think the op is entitled to her opinion,just as I am entitled to mine.You do not have to have a glass of wine,with friends on the beach,and assume that person will get sloppy drunk!!

A standard bottle of wine is 5 glasses, more than enough to get you drunk. Swimming and drinking alcohol is not a great idea.

Im sure she was not promoting drinking on the beach then driving. If you think all those tumblers people drinking out of on the beach on anywhere else is only filled with water or pop then you are naive.

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill, geeezzz.

@chessylady I certainly agree that alcohol and swimming and a hot beach do not mix. Most of my wine glasses hold 8 oz. for a glass of wine. I do have one smaller set that holds 4-5 oz. so it really depends on your glass.

Furthermore, I never have any intention of ever getting in water above my ankles anyway. A couple of glasses of wine does not impair me to change my mind about that.

Seriously, if you’re taking wine in a commuter cup to the beach, you are not a lightweight drinker.

Wine on the beach I don't think is legal. It seems I must be the only one who is afraid of drinking.
