water is NOT wet. if something is wet it implies water particles are saturating it, which implies it can be saturated with water (solid)

water is wet because it makes other things wet

The volume of a glass of water being taken up isn’t wet

The sides of the inner walls are however indeed wet

the inner walls are wet because the water is touching it since water is wet

if you think about it that reductively, of course, water is wet. it's like the time old adage "if you cut a tree down where nobody could hear it did it ever happen?" of course it happened, but that's not the point.

the "water isn't wet/is wet" argument can be made for literally the entirety that man is alive because language is subjective. for example...
there's this definition of "wet."

wet
/wet/
adjective
adjective: wet; comparative adjective: wetter; superlative adjective: wettest
  1. covered or saturated with water or another liquid.
    "she followed, slipping on the wet rock"
and this one.

noun

noun: wet
  1. 1.
    liquid that makes something damp.
    "I could feel the wet of his tears"
    synonyms: wetness, damp, moisture, moistness, sogginess;
    wateriness
    "the wet of his tears"

If you want to really answer this question, we need to clear up the definition of the word "wet."

if it's the condition of a liquid sticking to a solid surface, such as water wetting our skin, then we cannot say that water is wet by itself, because it takes a liquid AND a solid to define the term "wet."
however,
If we define "wet" as a sensation that we get when a liquid comes in contact with us, then yes, water is wet to us.
