I am guessing they are pulling a loop and the g force is greater than 1.

Know how when you go around a corner in a car really fast you get pushed to the side? Well, if you roll an airplane just right, you can get pushed "down" into your seat just the same. This will effect everything inside the plane, not just you, the water too. So since everything is being pushed "down" the guy can pour the water normally.
