Dh just called me a slob

[missmoohoo]

For drinking wine out of a plastic tumbler. There is nothing wrong with drinking wine out of a cup. That was what I assumed.
Who is the unreasonable one? Am I the only the one does not care about the utensils that holds my drink?

and i once drank baileys out of a cereal bowl in the street. And im telling you i was still fantastically glamorous. I dont think your DH is living his life to the best of his ability tbh. Glamour is all in the attitude not which utensils you use. A bad workwoman blames her tools etc.

A friend once served me wine in a sundae glass- anyone remember using these for ice-cream etc? I was speechless, and assumed she'd started on the wine much earlier. I still remember the very strange feeling against my lips, but would like to know what to do if it happens again?

im not the only person who feels this way. This is for your DH

I suggest you play for your DH.

Sorry, but you weren't!

We're forever breaking wine glasses and rarely have people around who drink wine, plus limited storage and the cost of them... So we have 3 non matching glasses left in 1 cupboard that I keep threatening to toss out. I normally drink it out of a glass or ... yes... a mug.
DH grabbed a cheap bottle (low alcohol content) and drank it straight from the bottle the other night. Each to their own.

We don't actually own any wine glasses as we don't drink wine. If anyone comes round with a bottle for themselves they have no choice but to drink from a glass or tumbler

I love those two videos.

the second one was like spot the celebrity.

As a paying customer, I have the right to have my drink served in the proper glass. I used to do bar work myself several years ago and I would have been ashamed to have served anyone a drink in the wrong glass.

I hate wine out of anything but a thin glass. I have a special wine glass no one else is allowed to use. Think it cos me £2.50 - for one glass! I hate pubs with generic wine glasses, they feel wrong in my mouth and make the wine taste wrong.

I once drank wine out of the foil bag inside the wine boxes.

Moocow - you are a credit to Mumsnet and an example to us all.

I'm another one who uses a Nutella jar. I draw the line at a mug though.

Currently using a tumbler have however been known to use a mug or in hotels etc plastic glasses (DH hates this although he is a whiskey drinker so this may make a difference) personally I really don't care what it comes out of my best mate took the crown in our circle drinking it straight from the tap thingy in the box from the modified umbrella bit in her handbag at a weddingwe did not all join in

Strikethrough fail

Well at least it wasnt straight out of the bottle

And what's wrong with straight out of the bottle? ()

Personally, I like using the right glass for the right drink, but what you drink out of is your own business and is no indication of slobbishness.

'Slob' to me means someone who is too lazy to be clean and hygienic, not someone who drinks a drink out the 'wrong' glass!

A lot of French cafes serve wine in small tumblers at lunchtimes if you're just having an omelette or some bread and cheese or something ... admittedly not usually a plastic one though.

I also usually like my wine from a proper glass, glass. However sometimes needs must. I do sometimes take it in a plastic glass into the bath. Or on picnics. I seriously draw the line at a mug though!

I am a bit of a glass snob too. And I have this thing about hot drinks in mugs and cold drinks in glasses. This is in my own house though. If I go to a friends, I take what I get. Its probably due to my student days of working in a posh hotel as a barmaid and they had a THING about the correct glasses.

It reminds me of camping or a down beat office party .

I don't care what glass/cup/mug I use either. Often in the morning i'll get a coffee mug out of the cupboard and stick the kettle on, and fill the mug with water to have a drink before I make a cuppa with it.

That makes utmost sense to me...the mug will be used anyway and what's the point of dirtying a glass as well? Dh looks at me aghast though and thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with drinking water out of a mug and comments on it every single time about how 'weird' it is. I think i'd give him heart failure by drinking wine out of anything other than a wine glass!

*"More than once, I've sent a g&t back in the pub, as I haven't liked the glass it was served in."

Charming. As if bar staff don't have enough to do.*

Exactly! What if they'd just dropped the last one in the kitchen - what were they meant to do, take the drinks back from another table so they could wash the glasses for cremeegg?

OP, your DH needs to stop being so judgey. He'd have hated student me! If you can use it to drink out of, I put any liquid in it. I'd put prosecco in mugs, coke in wine glasses...

And if I'm being honest, nowadays if there's a clean mug on the draining board, I will fill it with water and drink it. I didn't realise that was unacceptable

I like wine served in proper glasses. I especially like nice white wine served in a refrigerated wine glass. Sooo cold and lovely. I couldn't be bothered to do that at home though.

I'm not bothered about being called a snob.
