Abstract: A drinking vessel has a hollow cylindrical shell dimensioned to enable a user to ergonomically grasp the drinking vessel and a beverage-containing cup mounted inside the hollow cylindrical shell, the cup and hollow cylindrical member defining an annular air gap to thermally insulate the beverage contained in the cup of the drinking vessel. This drinking vessel is stable, fits in cup-holders, for example at sports events, and provides an outer surface for displaying advertising or other information. The beverage-containing cup can be shaped, for example, like the cup portion of a wine glass, martini glass, champagne flute, shot glass, beer glass or other desired shapes.
