Abstract

A pint-of-sale package for two to six large beverage bottles also serves as a dispensing caddy that provides ease and security of beverage dispensing. A venting, beverage-dispensing valve replaces the normal screw-on bottle cap to provide convenient beverage dispensing and reliable carbonation maintenance. The bottle package provides means for co-packaging associated products, such as snack foods, with the bottled beverage.
