Stemware holder

A stemware holder for maintaining a piece of stemware having a stem separating a bowl and a base in an upright position, for use with a cup holder with a recess, comprising:

• a cap having
• a generally circular bottom portion with an upper surface, lower surface and edge,
• a top portion with an upper surface, lower surface, edge, a radial shoulder extending inwardly from the edge and defining a central opening, and two substantially identical prongs extending from a proximal end at the edge to a distal end and defining a slot extending inwardly from the edge, the top and bottom portions being substantially coaxial and the top and bottom portion edges being substantially like-shaped,
• an outer perimeter wall with a front opening positioned at the respective edges and axially separating the bottom and top portions, the front opening, perimeter wall and top and bottom portions collectively defining an inner groove that narrows from proximate the front opening toward a rear of the groove;
• and
• a base extending substantially coaxially from the lower surface of the bottom portion configured for removable engagement with the cup holder;
• wherein
• the stemware base is removably insertable into the groove through the front opening with the stem extending through the slot, and the top portion is configured to exert pressure on the base in the direction toward the bottom portion thereby rigidly maintaining the stemware base in an upright position.

A stemware holder for maintaining a piece of stemware having a stem separating a bowl and a base in an upright position, comprising:

• (a) a cap having
• (i) a lower portion defining a surface and a perimeter,
• (ii) an upper portion axially spaced from the lower portion having a perimeter that is substantially identical to the lower portion perimeter, a radial shoulder extending inwardly from the perimeter and defining an upper plane and a central opening, and two identical prongs spaced from each other extending inwardly toward the central opening obliquely into the groove from a proximal end on one side of the upper plane to a distal end on the opposite side of the upper plane, the prongs defining a slot therebetween, and
• (iii) a partial perimeter wall axially spacing the top and bottom portions from each other and having a front opening, the upper and lower portions, perimeter wall and front opening defining a groove;
• and
• (b) a means for rigidly attaching the cap to a surface;
• wherein
• after the cap is attached to said surface, a stemware base is insertable into the groove by sliding the stemware base through the front opening with the stem extending through the slot and central opening, the stemware being generally rigidly maintained in an upright position when the stemware base is in the groove.
