An alcoholic beverage package, said package comprising a base member with a plurality of upper cover flap members integral to and hinged to the base member. A handle member is mounted to an outer surface of one of the upper cover flap members, the handle member being adapted to fit into a slot defined by an opposite flap member allowing the flap members to be secured together over the base member forming a chamber. A plurality of shot glasses are mounted inside the chamber and supported by the base member with the shot glasses being held in place within the chamber by an insert member mounted to the base member and engaging said shot glasses. Each of the shot glasses contains an alcoholic spirit and has a sealed removable lid. A second integral insert is secured to the base member and is provided with a plurality of spaced apertures which hold and space said shot glasses.

A carry tray a two-part base hingedly attached in the middle along adjacent edges. A removable or detachable handle may be provided. Each base comprises a bottom with a side extending upwards along the circumference, in whole or in part Each part of the base can be polygonal, semi-circular, hemi-circular, rectilinear, curved, or combinations thereof. The tray can be folded up along the hinge into a closed position for convenient storage or transport when not in use. The base may be used with a removable template or foam insert.

A food portioning system to more accurately and/or quickly portion food served from a food container includes a support for a container and a bracket coupled with the support. The bracket includes a scrape bar positioned above the support to level food within a serving implement. The scrape bar can also be used as a handle to carry, insert, or remove the food container from a steam table. The scrape bar can be adjustable relative to the support to position the scrape bar at varying heights. Such food portioning systems can be used to support a food container within a food well or on a countertop.

The present invention solves the problem of possible contamination of unconsumed liquid contained by communion cups that remain in the circular apertures of the cup array of the tray cover. The problem has been solved by moving the empty cup disposal openings from their current central locations in the tray cover to the four corners thereof. The new configuration makes it awkward for a congregant to dispose of his cup by reaching over cups containing unconsumed liquid. Although the improved tray cover is configured to hold 34 cups rather than 36, the loss of capacity of 2 cups is considered to be an acceptable compromise for decreasing the spread of disease causing organisms.

A stemware retention device for preventing tipping of stemware includes a first plate, which is substantially planar. Each slot of a set of slots extends into the first plate from its perimeter. A spacing element, which is attached to and which extends from a lower face of the first plate, supports the first plate above a substantially horizontal surface, such as a tabletop. A plurality of panels is attached to from the first plate's lower face so that each slot is bracketed by a pair of panels. Each panel extends from the first plate to proximate to the substantially horizontal surface. The panels are resiliently flexible so that each pair of panels can engage a base of an article of stemware as its stem is inserted into a respective slot. Thus, tipping of the article of stemware relative to the substantially horizontal surface is inhibited.

The present invention provides a tray for carrying both food and drinks. The tray includes a food compartment having a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a back wall, and a top wall moveable from a closed position to an open position. The food compartment can be enclosed to keep the food warm. A handle can be formed in the food compartment. A cup holder portion is connected to the food compartment for holding a plurality of cups containing liquid.

A disposable or reusable food base tray and plurality of container modules is disclosed which allows the user to both hold food directly in compartments on the base tray and configure a plurality of similar or different food and beverage container modules selected by the user to securely fit the compartments on the surface of the base tray. Container modules include but are not limited to bowls, compartmented container modules, cups including standard cup sizes, different size cup holders, platters and other container modules. The food base tray provides a way for users to add a greater variety of foods to the tray while keeping foods separate, to adapt the tray for a plurality of non-solid foods such as soups and beverages and to easily carry all food container modules securely. An additional feature includes the use of stacking container modules that allow stacking of an additional tray securely on top of said stacking container modules. An additional feature includes unique identifiers on base trays and container modules so that users can readily identify which items belong to the user. An additional feature is themed identifiers to make it easier to remember multiple container identifiers. An additional feature is educational or entertaining depictions and text on the base tray and container modules.

A beverage cooling apparatus for imparting coldness to beverage containers includes a base having a planar configuration and having a pair of side walls extending upwardly from ends of the base. The apparatus includes a guide member that includes first and second end portions and defining a plurality of apertures spaced apart from one another between the first and second end portions thereof that are configured to selectively receive and suspend the plurality of beverage containers, respectively. The first and second end portions of the guide member are coupled to upper ends of the side walls of the cooling member, respectively. The cooling member includes a temperature transfer material that transfers hot or cold heat energy to beverage containers suspended in apertures, respectively, such that they touch or are in proximity to the cooling member. The cooling member is separable from the guide member and re-frozen for later use.
