Drip dickey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A drip dickey is a trademarked brand name of a wine accessory that fits snugly around the neck of a wine bottle for the purpose of absorbing wine that would normally travel the length of the wine bottle, staining the surfaces it comes into contact with such as linens or a counter top. Other similar items are referred to as a drip ring, drip collar or drip catcher.

Unlike a wine collar, a drip dickey is made of synthetic materials which give it the resiliency to conform to many sizes of wine bottles. To aid in the reduction of bacteria and germs a drip dickey is also disposable. Drip dickeys are also useful in the kitchen on condiment bottles or any such container that dispenses a liquid or fluid and has an elongated neck.
