A catchment basin for containing drips of liquid that flow about the spout opening and down the sides of a liquid container when the container is fitted with the pouring position. The basin is preferably in the form of a collapsible corrugated open pocket that is fastened to a side of a container directly below the pouring spout. Alternatively the basin may be in the form of a portable open pocket which is fastened below a flat flexible shield section, the upper end of which is fixed to a circular collar of a size to fit snugly about a neck of a pouring spout of a container. The invention prevents drips of liquid falling to the bottom of a container which liquid drips conventionally contaminate the shelf of which a liquid container is stored and contaminates materials below such a shelf where the shelf is in the form of an open grill, such as in a refrigerator. Alternatively, upraised lip may be permanently formed on a container below the pouring spout of the container, with the lip in the form of an arcuate shape and of a triangular or a crescent shaped cross-section.
