A stackable case for retaining and transporting bottles including outer side walls (12, 14, 16, 18) forming an outer shell having a longitudinal axis and a horizontal axis, a case bottom (20) disposed substan tially within the outer shell, and a plurality of suppor ts for supporting the outer surfaces of the bottles. The side walls include a lower wall portion and a plurality of spaced upwardly project ing pylons, where four corner pylons define the four corners of the case. A plur ality of spaced upwardly projecting columns (30) general ly disposed within the outer shell define, in combination with the case bottom, the side walls and the end walls, a plurality of bottle retaining pockets. The columns and the pylons (58) extend above the lower wall portion s and below a top surface of the retained bottles. The e nd walls each include an integrally molded handle structure (66) suspended betw een an upper portion of adjacent corner pylons to thereb y define a generally open end wall area below the handle structure. The handle structure allows the bottle case to be manipulated with either a palm up or palm down orientation of the hand.
