There are an endless amount of wine glasses out there and while I’ve personally broken dozens, one wine “glass” that’s been on my radar for a while now is the official YETI Wine Tumbler. I actually own a few of these, so wanted to give you all a heads up about my experience, what you should really know about, and if I think it’s worth the money or not. Here’s my overall experience.
REVIEW & OVERVIEW
When it comes to coolers and keeping my drinks cold, my go-to favorite brand is YETI. In case you’re a bit new to their wine glasses, the YETI wine tumbler is a super high-quality insulated wine glass that was created to keep your wine at the perfect temperature for a really long amount of time, regardless of the time of year.
YETI, a popular brand known for its durable and rugged products, has created a stylish and functional wine tumbler that is perfect for outdoor adventures, picnics, days at the beach, camping trips – you name it.

The YETI wine tumbler is made of 18/8 stainless steel, which makes it resistant to rust and punctures – perfect for when you’re camping or just outdoors and may or may not get a little extra wine drunk.
They’re famous for their double-wall vacuum insulation that’ll keeps your wine cold for hours (or at the perfect temp if you’re drink a red, for example, and actually don’t want it cold) while preventing condensation on the exterior of the tumbler.
Their wine tumbler also has a dishwasher-safe, shatterproof lid with a sliding mechanism to help prevent spills especially if you’re sipping while you walk or don’t want your pup slyly walking over to your drink and taking a lick or two.
So far, these wine tumblers comes in a variety of colors and patterns and will old 10 ounces. So, if you’re following the typical rules of how much wine you should be putting in your glass, this one wine tumbler can hold up to two wines glasses (based on 5-ounces each). Its tapered design allows for easy gripping, and the stemless style is perfect for outdoor scenarios so you can place it on the ground (grass, dirt, sand, etc) and don’t have to worry about it tipping over or breaking.
PROS & CONS
WHAT I LOVE:
- Durable and rugged construction with 18/8 stainless steel.
- Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps wine at the perfect temperature for hours.
- Shatterproof lid with sliding mechanism helps prevent spills.
- Tapered design allows for easy gripping and comfortable handling.
- Stemless style is perfect for outdoor settings.
JUST A HEADS-UP:
- You’re forced to hold it by the “cup” vs. the proper way of a stem hold.
- Smaller capacity (10 oz) compared to some other traditional wine glasses.
- The lid can be slightly difficult to clean
- Can be a bit heavy to hold, especially when filled with wine.
- The price can definitely be higher than a lot of other glass options.
IS THE YETI WINE TUMBLER WORTH IT?
So, in conclusion we’ve come to the part of the review where I let you know if I think it’s worth the money. Here’s the thing. Even though it’s a stemless wine glass (even though it’s not technically a glass), I think the YETI wine tumbler is worth the $25 price tag.
If you plan on having some drinks outdoors and don’t want it to tip over and break and really want it to keep your white wine, chilled summer rosè wine, or other sparkling options it really does keep it at the perfect cool temp for hours. Now, it doesn’t take me hours to sip through my wine of choice, but when it’s really hot outside this 10-ounce tumbler is really going to come in handy. Plus, the color options are pretty extensive too. Personally, I don’t really use the slider lid, but it’s a cool option especially if you’re prone to spillage.
So I say go for it if you can. Here’s where you can pick them up at the best price(s) I could find.
