A container including a cover and a body with a cavity for containing an aerated beverage, the body and cover being releasably engageable with each other in an air-tight manner, and when the body and the cover are engaged with each other, a part of the cover extends into the cavity of the body to increase the air pressure in the cavity above atmospheric pressure.

1 . A container including a cover member and a body member with a cavity adapted to contain an aerated beverage, wherein said body member and said cover member are releasably engageable with each other in an air-tight manner, and wherein when said body member and said cover member are engaged with each other, at least a part of said cover member extends into said cavity of said body member to increase the air pressure in said cavity above atmospheric pressure.  
   
   
       2 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the cover member includes a sealing member for providing an air-tight effect when said body member and said cover member are releasably engageable with each other.  
   
   
       3 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein said cover member includes at least two protruding members for engagement with channel members of said body member for releasably engaging said cover member with said body member.  
   
   
       4 . A container according to  claim 3  wherein at least one said channel member has two portions which are generally perpendicular to each other.  
   
   
       5 . A container according to  claim 1  wherein the cover member includes an opening releasably closable by a closure member.  
   
   
       6 . A container according to  claim 5  wherein said closure member is made of a resilient material.  
   
   
       7 . A container according to  claim 6  wherein said closure member is swivellable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said cover member.  
   
   
       8 . A container according to  claim 5  wherein said opening is adjacent a drinking spout of said cover member.
