Abstract A packaging arrangement for supporting a plurality of glasses in a position around the neck of a bottle carried within a container. The carrier for the glasses includes an upper cupshaped portion inverted to meet with an associated lower discshaped portion. Both portions have a central opening, so that the carrier can be slipped on and off the neck of the bottle. The cup-shaped portion has a plurality of openings which releasably support the glasses with a portion of the bottoms of glasses projecting above the carrier. A sleeve, which is designed to slip over the part of the neck of the bottle, laying above the glasses, is positioned between the lid of the container and the glasses. This sleeve has a plurality of flanges at its lower end which urge the glasses into the carrier and the carrier to a tight fit position on the bottle when the lid is closed on the container.
