A bottle manipulation device facilitates one-handed manipulation and
pouring from a bottle. The device has a bottle engaging member with a
U-shaped fork having first and second branches on opposite sides of a
bisecting plane for engaging on first and second opposite sides of a neck
of a bottle respectively. A hook is pivotally connected to the bottle
engaging portion for movement between a disengaged position with a
blocking portion of the hook spaced from the bisecting plane and an
engaged position with the blocking portion of the hook passing through
the bisecting plane and blocking a front of the neck of the bottle for
secure engagement of the bottle with the device. A method of using the
device provides for secure manipulation and pouring.
