Abstract

An assembly that includes a first container having a first vessel body that includes: a first base having a first perimeter, a first side wall connected to the first base, and a first rim defined on the first side wall distal to the first base. The first container includes a cap that releasably engages the first rim. The assembly includes a second container having a second vessel body that includes: a second base having a second perimeter, a second side wall connected to the second base, and a second rim defined on the second side wall distal to the second base, wherein the cap of the first container is releasably engaged by the second base of the second container such that the cap is interposed between the first rim of the first container and the second base of the second container.

Claims

1. An assembly comprising:

a first container comprising;

a first vessel body comprising;

a first base having a first perimeter;

a first side wall connected to the first base; and

a first rim defined on the first side wall distal to the first base,

a lid having a first seal region, the first seal region removably attached to the first rim; and

a cap releasably engaged to the first lid;

a second container comprising;

a second vessel body comprising;

a second base having a second perimeter;

a second side wall connected to the second base; and

a second rim defined on the second side wall distal to the second base, wherein the cap of the first container is releasably engaged by the second base of the second container such that the lid of the first container is interposed between the first rim of the first container and the second base of the second container.

2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first container and the second container each include a serving of wine.

3. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a cover that encloses the first container and the second container, the cover comprising an opening device that when manually operated provides access to at least one of the first container and the second container.

4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein the opening device comprises two lines of holes formed in the cover and a tab area formed in the cover, wherein the holes and the tab area are structured so that when the tab area is pulled downward material along at least one of the lines of holes and between the holes of the line are broken apart so that a slit-like opening is formed between the lines of holes.

5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the cap is releasably engaged at a finite number of positions by the second base.

6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the finite number of positions are spaced from each other by an equal angle.

7. The assembly of claim 5, wherein at each of the finite number of positions on the cap there is a protrusion.

8. The assembly of claim 7, wherein each protrusion includes a notch that engages the second base.

9. The assembly of claim 8, wherein the second base defines a detent that engages each notch of the protrusions.

10. An assembly comprising:

a first container comprising;

a first vessel body comprising;

a first base having a first perimeter;

a first side wall connected to the first base; and

a first rim defined on the first side wall distal to the first base; and

a cap releasably engaged to the first rim;

a second container comprising;

a second vessel body comprising;

a second base having a second perimeter;

a second side wall connected to the second base; and

a second rim defined on the second side wall distal to the second base, wherein the cap of the first container is releasably engaged by the second base of the second container such that the cap is interposed between the first rim of the first container and the second base of the second container.

11. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the first container and the second container each include a serving of wine.

12. The assembly of claim 10, further comprising a cover that encloses the first container and the second container, the cover comprising an opening device that when manually operated provides access to at least one of the first container and the second container.

13. The assembly of claim 12, wherein the opening device comprises two lines of holes formed in the cover and a tab area formed in the cover, wherein the holes and the tab area are structured so that when the tab area is pulled downward material along at least one of the lines of holes and between the holes of the line are broken apart so that a slit-like opening is formed between the lines of holes.

14. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the cap is releasable engaged at a finite number of positions by the second base.

15. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the finite number of positions are spaced from each other by an equal angle.

16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein at each of the finite number of positions on the cap there is a protrusion.

17. The assembly of claim 16, wherein each protrusion includes a notch that engages the second base.

18. The assembly of claim 17, wherein the second base defines a detent that engages each notch of the protrusions.
