English term for a cup made of different materials (glass, clay, metal) with usually a handle. It is usually used for drinking hot beverages such as coffee, hot chocolate and tea or alcoholic drinks such as grog, mulled wine, hunter's tea and punch. See also under wine containers.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
