Abstract
A stopper holder for a beverage bottle is comprised of a first helical gripping member for positioning on the neck of the bottle, and a second helical member connected to the first gripping member for holding a stopper therein. The first and second helical gripping members are comprised of a continuous rod wherein the upper end of the first helical gripping member is connected to a lower end of the second helical gripping member by an integral connecting portion. Resilient cushions are positioned along the first helical gripping member for a snug fit on bottles of different sizes. The second helical gripping member is positioned above and to a side of the first helical gripping member for positioning the stopper away from the mouth of the bottle.
