Abstract
Abstract An inexpensive bottle container adapted for wine and like bottles of varying size comprising upper and lower open-ended matching enclosures of a light weight insulating material such as closed cell polyurethane, which enclosures are retained on the bottle by means of decorative upper and lower sleeves having elastic means disposed at the open ends of the respective enclosures, these elastic means circumscribing an opening of smaller area than that circumscribed by the open ends of the enclosures whereby the contact of the elastic means of the sleeves with the bottle is functional in retaining the insulated enclosure in position over the bottles, as well as in inverted position for packing and storage purposes.
