The Bottle sling (or Jug sling) is a knot which can be used to create a handle for a glass or ceramic container with a slippery narrow neck, as long as the neck widens slightly near the top. With appropriate size cord, most wine bottles can be reliably suspended with this knot.
The Bottle sling, the constrictor knot, the strangle knot, and the miller's knot (roughly in order of decreasing gripping power) are similar in that, when tightened around a cylindrical object, they maintain their grip on the object after the ends of the rope are released. The more intricate Bottle sling allows the cylinder, assuming it has even a slight flare or collar, to be lifted along its axis.
