"Il s'agit de la surface ou s'accomplit l'acte de boire, ..." which means:

lid protects drink surface => drink surface = the surface (of the bottle ) that you touch with your lips when you drink

when you drink from a bottle, you should use as a "drink surface" only the surface that was protected by the lid before you removed it.

merci !
neutral FX Fraipont (X) : "Le buvant : Il s'agit des rebords du verre. la finesse du Buvant est un signe de qualité pour un verre à vin" - ici c'est "surface", pas "rim", et "drink", pas "glass". http://www.modeverre.com/anatomie-d-un-verre-a-vin

neutral Daryo : the right term (=>c'est ici que se posent les lèvres) but only for a wine glass.

"The other advantage of the dome lids equipped with cup holding recess is to hold the bottom section of the 2nd cup securely which prevents a stacked 2nd cup on skilled lid from falling off and spilling. Furthermore, the two drink openings of the dome lids located well above the hot drink surface help to prevent the hot beverage leaks through the openings."

disagree Daryo : right story, but wrong character: "drink surface" is not the surface of the drink, but the surface (of the bottle / cup / container ...) used when drinking.

"LID" of the cup, of course, not the bottle...
