sippers

Those taking tastes

Sippers is the plural of sipper—someone who sips, or a cup designed for sipping.

A sipper cup has a lid with a small opening, letting toddlers drink without spilling: The baby clutched her sipper.

Adults who drink slowly or in small quantities are also sippers: Wine sippers savored the vintage while others gulped.
