Abstract: A portable wine bottle carrier is characterized by a tote bag having a non-rigid bottom and sides and an open top, and a cushion divider for dividing the interior of the bag into two vertical compartments suitable for receipt of a wine bottle in each whereby bottles carried in the bag in the compartments are maintained in spaced, cushioned relationship. In one form of carrier, the cushion divider consists of a flexible padded tongue secured at its lower end to the bottom of the bag, which divides the bag into the vertical compartments or alternatively the divider may be adjusted or positioned to the side to accommodate a single wine bottle of standard or larger size. Also with the use of a larger size wine bottle, the tongue may be folded upon itself and on the bottom of the bag to provide a padded base support for the bottle. In another form of carrier, the cushion divider consists of an inverted T-shape cardboard insert.
