Abstract

The present invention is a large-capacity bottle drying rack ideally made of food-grade material intended for mounting on a wall to facilitate easy drying of washed baby bottles, sippy cups, water bottles, and other beverage containers and accessories, such as nipples, lids, and bottle cleaning brushes in a compact space without taking up valuable counter space, without leaving a watery mess on the counter, and with easy disposal of drained water. The rack has embedded spikes extending upward from a base at an angle to hold bottles, cups, and other beverage containers; can have removable baskets with drainage holes to dry and hold bottle accessories; and has a removable drip tray at the bottom of the rack. Food-grade silicone or similar tips on the end of the spikes provide grip to keep the bottles secure. The invention can be made in a variety of aesthetically pleasing shapes.
