Benefits of technology
The disclosure is about a vacuum-insulated vessel that includes a retaining member. The retaining member has a body with a skirt and a deformable member that has two layers. The first layer is close to the body, and the second layer extends away from the first layer and has a resilient end. The deformable member can be positioned within a double-walled container to hold the vessel. The technical effects of this patent include improved insulation and stability of the vacuum-insulated vessel, as well as easier handling and storage.
Problems solved by technology
A disadvantage with such coolers is that once the ice melts, the remaining water may become warm and unable to maintain a colder temperature for the bottled beverage.
Another disadvantage is that once the bottled beverage is removed from the cooler, large amounts of liquid may remain on the external surface of the bottled beverages, which may make the bottles slippery and cause the bottles to fall out of the user's hands.
This may be dangerous to the user and others nearby, particular when the bottles are made of glass.
When a bottled beverage is housed in the bottle holders, the bottled beverage may be completely enclosed within the bottle holder, requiring the user to remove the cap / lid, and in some instances, the bottled beverage in order to retrieve the beverage (or pour from the bottle), which may be cumbersome.
These typical bottle holders include numerous components, and numerous shapes, which may be expensive and difficult to manufacture and assemble.

Embodiment Construction
[0030]Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments. Each example is provided by way of explanation, and is not meant as a limitation and does not constitute a definition of all possible embodiments.
[0031]According to an aspect, a vacuum-insulated vessel having a retaining member and a double-walled structure / insulated container is described. The vacuum-insulated vessel maintains the temperature of a bottle / bottled beverage housed therein, whether the initial temperature of the bottle is hot, warm or cold. The vacuum-insulated vessel also eliminates the formation of condensation on the external surface of the bottle. The vacuum-insulated vessel is able to receive and retain bottles of various sizes and / or shapes, while also allowing the user to pour the contents of the bottles without having to remove the bottles from the vessel. The vacuum-insulated vessel may be particularly useful for alcoholic beverages (or other chilled beverages), such as white or red wine, champ...

A retaining member for use with a vacuum-insulated vessel is described. The retaining member may include a body and a deformable member. The deformable member may have a first layer and a second layer extending from the first layer to a resilient end of the second layer. The resilient end of the second layer may define an opening of the second layer and the opening of the second layer may be aligned with a first aperture of the body and a second aperture of the body, to receive and securely hold a bottle such as a wine bottle within the opening, the first aperture, and the second aperture. The second layer may be resiliently flexible between a first position and a second position of a peripheral edge of the resilient end, to receive and retain bottles having various sizes.
