Abstract: A closure for a beverage container holder, comprising a unitary closure assembly, comprising an integral hole having a diameter, wherein the diameter is sufficient to passably dispose a neck of a beverage container bottle therethrough, and wherein the diameter is smaller than the diameter of the beverage container bottle, a resiliently compressible lining disposed about the inner circumference of the integral hole, a gripping area for a user's hand, and a lateral engaging surface constructed of a resiliently compressible material and capable of exerting a lateral engaging force against a lateral engaging surface for a beverage container holder when integrally positioned, wherein the lateral engaging surface is generally cylindrical, and wherein the lateral engaging surface is of a narrower diameter than the gripping area and a larger diameter than the integral hole.
