A container (20) stores a beverage and comprises a closure member (21) covering an access aperture (22). An internally-mounted fitting (24) defines the access aperture (22) and a cylindrical mounting (27) for an outer tubular member (28) which extends to a position adjacent the bottom of the container (20). An inner tubular member (32) is positioned coaxially within the outer tubular member (28) and is supported for telescopic movement when the access aperture (22) is unsealed by removing the closure member (21). A vent (34) is provided to permit communication between the access aperture (22) and the interior of the bottle (20).
