Methods and systems for controlling and maintaining the temperature of a drink within a drinking vessel

A method for controlling a temperature of a drink, the method comprising:

• placing a receptacle, having a recess for receiving a drinking vessel, in a cooling environment with a cooling temperature, the cooling temperature being below room temperature;
• removing the receptacle from the cooling environment;
• attaching the receptacle to a stand;
• pouring a drink into the drinking vessel;
• and
• placing the drinking vessel in the recess defined by the receptacle while the receptacle is attached to the stand by placing the drinking vessel in the recess defined by the receptacle while the receptacle is attached to the stand such that a lip routes condensation from the receptacle to the stand.

A method for controlling a temperature of a drink, the method comprising:

• placing a first receptacle, having a recess for receiving a stemmed drinking vessel, in a cooling environment with a cooling temperature, the cooling temperature being below room temperature;
• removing the first receptacle from the cooling environment;
• attaching the first receptacle to a stand;
• placing the stemmed drinking vessel in the recess defined by the first receptacle while the first receptacle is attached to the stand by placing the stemmed drinking vessel in the recess defined by the first receptacle while the first receptacle is attached to the stand such that a lip routes condensation from the first receptacle to the stand;
• removing the stemmed drinking vessel from the recess while the first receptacle is attached to the stand;
• removing the first receptacle from the stand;
• placing a second receptacle, having a recess for receiving a stemless drinking vessel, in the cooling environment with the cooling temperature, the cooling temperature being below room temperature;
• removing the second receptacle from the cooling environment;
• attaching the second receptacle to the stand;
• and
• placing the stemless drinking vessel in the recess defined by the second receptacle while the second receptacle is attached to the stand.
