Scottish company “George Ballantine & Son Ltd”, which is one of the world’s leading producers of whiskey, decided to raise the culture of drinking this strong drink on a whole new level and created a glass allowing you to drink alcohol astronauts in zero gravity.
Founded in 1827, the company plans to enrich itself with such way due to space tourists. Surely many billionaires, leaving the earth for fun, do not give up a glass hot drink directly on board the ship.

According to Josh McCarthy, Lead Engineer, George Ballantine & Son Ltd, the era of space tourism is just around the corner. Specialist I am sure that soon the rich will fly to Earth orbit as often with the same amenities as on other continents. At the same time, alcohol relaxation should be a compulsory service. for those who like alcohol.
To create a functional prototype of a wonder glass, the Scots spent tens of thousands of dollars and eleven months as well resorted to the help of the company “Open Space Agency”, engaged in space exploration.
The result is a product made of durable plastic based on in pink gold, which, unlike other metals, is not able to spoil the taste of whiskey. Drink pushed down the glass using a convex base, after which it rises up by means of a spiral tube located along the edge capacities. Whiskey reaches a mouthpiece made from the same rose gold and a cool drink.

To pour alcohol into a space cup will also require some special devices and certain skills. Will help in this, for example, a powerful magnet connecting the glass to the nozzle below and equipped with a one-way valve. The mass of the product is over ten kilograms, but in zero gravity this, of course, is not will make no difference.
Now craftsmen from “George Ballantine & Son Ltd” are trying to create special whiskey variety for space where human receptors tastes are known to manifest themselves in a slightly different way than on The earth.
