Problems solved by technology

One problem with such type of bulk packaging is that once the package is open, the remaining containers are not easy to carry around without falling over out falling out of the package, and possibly spilling the contents thereof should the container hit the ground during transport.
That is, once the integrity of the plastic wrap is broken, the force keeping the containers in place is disrupted.
In addition, if one of the containers is e

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to nested beverage containers and methods thereof. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to improved beverage containers having interlocking features with adjacent containers, allowing for ease of transportation and lower cost of packaging. In one embodiment, a nestable beverage container comprises a voluminous body defined by a top portion and a bottom portion; a cap for temporarily sealing the nestable beverage container; and a connection means positioned beneath the sealing means; a bottom portion comprising a receiving means shaped to conform to the connection means of an adjacently nested bottle, the receiving means adapted to receive a cap when the cap is engaged with a threaded neck of a second nestable beverage bottle.
