So a friend has asked if I can make them a wine goblet, what wood would be best?
Thanks in advance

If the recipient is intending to use it as a drinking vessel then use a fruit wood such as Cherry, Apple, Pear.
Beech, Birch, Sycamore, Ash can also look attractive if the grain structure falls right.
Be aware the more porous the grain the more it will stain or indeed show signs of leaking.
Don't use Yew and other toxic wood species unless it's just intended for decoration, then of course anything to hand that is sound enough to take the shaping detail is fine.
