Background of the Hip-Sip


The Hip-Sip was inspired by Spring Barrel Tasting in the Yakima Valley wine country, where tasters are required to either bring their own glass or purchase one at the winery. The Hip-Sip is designed to allow the wearer a convenient way to use his or her hands to perform any task using both hands, from eating to greeting while securely holding the vessel. The Hip-Sip is stout enough to support a filled glass. It also allows the user to transport his or her wine glass from winery to winery, keeping it secure and freeing hands to carry wine bottles, for example. It also has the added advantage of preventing the loss of a glass by inadvertantly leaving it on a table or bar.
