Abstract: A reusable handle for use with bottles is disclosed. The handle has an upwardly diverging bonnet shaped jacket which encircles and holds a portion of the bottle body. An arm, with a gripping portion, extends from the jacket and terminates in a bottle neck ring which holds the bottle neck. The bottle neck ring has a neck locking tab and an opposing straight edge which firmly hold the bottle neck. The neck locking tab and shape of the jacket also serve to bias the gripping portion of the handle away from the bottle body. Because of the tapered jacket, the handle can be used with a bottles having varying diameters. The handle can also be made, sold and stored in a flat configuration. In the flat configuration, the handle has a planar body with an arcuate bottom edge and side edges which can be attached together for use to form the upwardly diverging bonnet shape of the jacket.
