1 . A temperature-regulation receptacle system comprising:
 a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion extending between the bottom end portion and the top end portion, and an outer wall portion, the top end portion defining an opening of a first recess configured for receiving a stemless drinking vessel;   a solution contained within a cavity between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion;   wherein a first segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a first distance and a second segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a second distance that is less than the first distance;   wherein at least a portion of the outer wall portion is continuous around an entire perimeter of the receptacle system and independent of any breaks about the perimeter of the receptacle system and the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion; and   wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between the solution and the stemless drinking vessel to cool or warm the stemless drinking vessel.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a stand that is removably couplable to the bottom end portion. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising a frictional member. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising magnetic members that couple the stand to the bottom end portion. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the stand includes a lower portion and a lip extending away from the lower portion, the lower portion and the lip defining a second recess. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the lip extends around a perimeter of the stand and substantially surrounds the stand. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising an egress, at the bottom end portion of the receptacle system, configured to funnel condensation into the second recess. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the solution comprises a gel. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the gel has a freezing point above a temperature of household freezers. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a side opening extending laterally from the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion and extending vertically from the second segment of the top end portion. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the inner wall portion includes multiple curved surfaces, each of varying degrees of curvature and of which at least one first curved surface is between the top end portion and a bottom surface of the bottom end portion wherein a degree of curvature of the at least one first curved surface differs from a degree of curvature of the multiple curved surfaces, and wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between the solution and the stemless drinking vessel with the at least one first curved surface. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising an outer receptacle including an inner surface opposite to the outer wall portion, wherein the outer receptacle is detachably coupled to the outer wall portion with one or more coupling members. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more coupling members comprise one or more magnets. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the outer receptacle comprises a tab and a stem portion and the tab is configured to contact the outer wall portion. 
     
     
         15 . A temperature-regulation receptacle system comprising:
 an outer receptacle including an inner surface;   an inner receptacle, detachably coupled to the outer receptacle, including a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion extending between the bottom end portion and the top end portion, and an outer wall portion opposite to the inner surface, the top end portion defining an opening of a first recess configured for receiving a stemless drinking vessel;   wherein the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion define a cavity;   wherein a first segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a first distance and a second segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a second distance that is less than the first distance;   wherein at least a portion of the outer wall portion is continuous around an entire perimeter of the receptacle system and independent of any breaks about the perimeter of the receptacle system and the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion;   wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between a solution and the stemless drinking vessel to cool or warm the stemless drinking vessel.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the inner receptacle is detachably coupled to the outer receptacle with magnets. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the outer receptacle comprises a tab and a stem portion and the tab is configured to contact the inner receptacle. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising an egress at the bottom end portion of the inner receptacle, configured to funnel condensation from the inner receptacle. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising a gel contained within the cavity. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising a side opening extending laterally from the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion and extending vertically from the second segment of the top end portion, wherein the inner wall portion includes multiple curved surfaces, each of varying degrees of curvature and of which at least one first curved surface is between the top end portion and a bottom surface of the bottom end portion wherein a degree of curvature of the at least one first curved surface differs from a degree of curvature of the multiple curved surfaces, and wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between the solution and the stemless drinking vessel with the at least one first curved surface.
