Celebratory wine kit

Abstract

A beverage kit includes a box. A bottle separator is disposed within the box and defines a predetermined number of separated spaces therein. A planar member defines a plurality of holes passing therethrough. Each of the plurality holes is aligned with a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces defined by the bottle separator. A planar member includes sequential indicia next to each of the holes. The sequential indicia indicate an order to the holes. Each of plurality of cylindrical bottles contains a predetermined amount of a beverage therein. Each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles is disposed in a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces. A portion of each cylindrical bottle extends outwardly from a corresponding one of the holes. The sequential indicia indicate an order by which the beverage in each cylindrical bottle is to be consumed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A beverage kit, comprising:
 (a) a box;   (b) a bottle separator disposed within the box, the bottle separator defining a predetermined number of separated spaces therein;   (c) a planar member that defines a plurality of holes passing therethrough, each of the plurality holes aligned with a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces defined by the bottle separator, the planar member including sequential indicia next to each of the holes, the sequential indicia indicating an order to the holes; and   (d) a plurality of cylindrical bottles, each containing a predetermined amount of a beverage therein, each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles disposed in a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces and a portion of each cylindrical bottle extending outwardly from a corresponding one of the holes,
 wherein the sequential indicia indicates an order by which the beverage in each cylindrical bottle is to be consumed. 
   
     
     
         2 . The beverage kit of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles contains a beverage of a different type. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage kit of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles contains a wine. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage kit of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles is sealed with a screw cap. 
     
     
         5 . The beverage kit of  claim 1 , wherein the sequential indicia includes a sequence of numbers. 
     
     
         6 . The beverage kit of  claim 1 , wherein the bottle separator comprises a block of foam having outer dimensions that are complementary to inner dimensions of the box and wherein each of the separated spaces comprises a cylindrical passage that is complementary in shape to one of the cylindrical bottles. 
     
     
         7 . A wine kit, comprising:
 (a) a box;   (b) a bottle separator disposed within the box, the bottle separator defining a predetermined number of separated spaces therein, the bottle separator including a block of foam having outer dimensions that are complementary to inner dimensions of the box and wherein each of the separated spaces comprises a cylindrical passage that is complementary in shape to one of the cylindrical bottles;   (c) a planar member that defines a plurality of holes passing therethrough, each of the plurality holes aligned with a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces defined by the bottle separator, the planar member including a sequential indicia next to each of the holes, the sequential indicia indicating an order to the holes; and   (d) a plurality of cylindrical bottles, each containing a predetermined amount of a different wine therein, each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles disposed in a different one of the predetermined number of separated spaces and a portion of each cylindrical bottle extending outwardly from a corresponding one of the holes,
 wherein the sequential indicia indicates an order by which the beverage in each cylindrical bottle is to be consumed. 
   
     
     
         8 . The wine kit of  claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of cylindrical bottles is sealed with a screw cap. 
     
     
         9 . The wine kit of  claim 7 , wherein the sequential indicia includes a sequence of numbers. 
     
     
         10 . A method of presenting a beverage for consumption, comprising the steps of:
 (a) printing a sequential indicia on a planar member to indicate an order in which units of the beverage are to be consumed;   (b) cutting a plurality of holes in the planar member next to each unit of sequential indicia;   (c) forming a bottle separator so as to define a predetermined number of separated spaces therein and so that each of the separated spaces is disposed so as to be in alignment with a different one of the plurality of holes;   (d) placing the bottle separator into a box and placing the planar member on top of the bottle separator; and   (e) placing a different cylindrical bottle full of a beverage into a corresponding one of the separated spaces through each corresponding hole.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein each cylindrical bottle contains a different wine. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the sequential indicia comprises a sequence of numbers. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the sequential indicia indicates an order by which the beverage in each cylindrical bottle is to be consumed. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the forming bottle separator comprises the step of defining a plurality of cylindrical passages in a block of foam.
