A big bottle format dispenser includes a housing in the form factor of a large bottle, the housing defining an outer reservoir. An inner reservoir is carried within the housing. The inner reservoir is filled with an alcoholic beverage, and the outer reservoir is not filled with an alcoholic beverage. An illumination means within the dispenser illuminates the inner reservoir, which in some embodiments is constructed in the form factor of, or contains portions in the form factor of, a company name, logo, symbol, or other branding indicator.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for holding and pouring wine from a wine bottle. The apparatus comprises a body strap with a ring at one end of the body strap. The other end of the body strap passes through the ring forming a loop. The apparatus further comprises a base strap configured to fit around the body of the bottle. The base strap coupled to a thumb ring through a hook. The other open end of the body strap coupled to the thumb ring.

An articulated handle for a container is described. The articulated handle comprises a collar, a grip, and a securing means. The collar is configured for surrounding a container and comprises an articulated joint for positioning the collar between an open state for receiving the container and a close state for surrounding the container. The articulated joint divides the collar in a first portion and a second portion. The grip projects outwardly from the collar and comprises a first grip portion integrally formed to the first portion of the collar and a second grip portion integrally formed to the second portion of the collar. The first and second grip portions are each configured for comprising a complementary portion. The complementary portions comprise a securing means which connects together the first and second grip portions when the collar is in the close state, thereby securing the articulated handle to the container.

A label with improved physical properties comprising: a base layer having a microstructured area; a composite microstructure having a first, second and third set of microstructures disposed on the microstructured area; a dry lift force attributable to the composite microstructure greater than 7 pounds according to lift testing; a wet lift force attributable to the composite microstructure greater than 7 pounds according to lift testing; an adhesive layer affixed to the base layer for affixing the label to a container; and, thereby providing a microstructured label having improved gripping physical properties that can be affixed to a container.

A container for storing a liquid for consumption. The container may comprise temperature and volume sensors, processors, energy source and a communication device to transmit the recorded temperature and volume data to a remote human interface. The container may also provide for various notifications and alerts to the user if the data falls outside predetermined variable ranges.

A flat finger loop is a flat and flexible membrane that has a first opening and a second opening having a shape and orientation with respect to each other such that the region between them can alternately form a loop with a tight and secure grip on a finger when a finger is inserted through one opening and out of the other, and can collapse completely flat and flush with the rest to the membrane when the loop is not is use. The flat finger loop can also be attached to portable objects, such as a smartphone, whereby the object becomes stuck to and thus effortlessly held by a single finger.

A beverage bottle may include a handle that engages a neck of the bottle. The handle may include a band region that encircles a portion of the neck of the bottle. The handle may be easily assembled onto the bottle, and be aesthetically pleasing. In an embodiment, a grip portion may be aligned angularly higher than the band region when the bottle is resting in a vertical position. The handle may have a grip portion sized to enable an adult to comfortably hold the grip portion with at least one finger.
