1. A bottle drainage coupler including a generally planar base, at least two spaced bottle neck coupler sets extending from said base, said base including apertures sets therethough, each said coupler set including a first bottle neck receiver on an upper portion of said base and a second coaxial bottle neck receiver apposed on a lower portion of said base, each said first bottle neck receivers having a generally cylindrical inner wall with a diameter larger than the diameter of the neck of selected bottles to be drained, each said first bottle neck receivers including an abutment stop bottle neck support extending radially inwardly from the inner wall and upwardly from the plane of the base, whereby when the neck of a selected bottle to be drained is placed in said first bottle neck receiver of one coupler set, an end of the neck abuts the bottle neck support and the bottle is supported in a slanted position, resting upon a top edge of the cylindrical inner wall diametrically spaced from the bottle neck support. 2. The invention of claim 1 wherein said planar base forms an inner rim at said apertures.3. The invention of claim 1 wherein said second bottle neck receiver of the one coupler set is dimensioned to accommodate the neck of a bottle selected to receive the contents of the bottle to be drained.4. The invention of claim 1 wherein said abutment stop neck support includes a notch, whereby the end of the neck engages the notch.5. The invention of claim 3 wherein said second bottle neck receiver of the other coupler set is dimensioned to receive the neck of a bottle selected to stabilize the drainage coupler when only a single bottle is to be drained.6. The invention of claim 1 wherein said second bottle neck receivers include generally cylindrical inner walls and a plurality of ribs for engagement with the necks of selected bottles.7. The invention of claim 1 wherein the abutment stop bottle neck supports of each first bottle neck receiver are apposed along a common diagonal of the first bottle neck receivers.8. A bottle drainage system for reclaiming residual contents of a first selected bottle to be drained and collecting said residual contents into a second selected bottle, the first bottle having a bottle neck and the second bottle having a bottle neck, the drainage system including a generally cylindrical coupler configured to support the first bottle in a slanted inverted position which facilitates gravity drainage of the residual contents when the coupler engages the neck of the second bottle in an upright position, the coupler including an upper bottle neck receiver and a coaxial lower bottle neck receiver, the lower bottle neck receiver being dimensioned to engage the neck of the second bottle, the upper bottle neck receiver including a generally cylindrical inner wall, a bottle neck support extending radially inwardly from the inner wall and an abutment stop at the upper end of the bottle neck support, the abutment stop for engagement with an end of the neck of the first bottle, the neck of the first bottle having a diameter less than the diameter of the inner wall whereby, when the neck of the first bottle engages the abutment stop, the first bottle slants to a position wherein it is restrained from tipping over by engagement between the neck of the first bottle and a top edge of the inner wall diametrically spaced from the abutment stop. 9. A bottle drainage system for reclaiming residual contents of a first selected bottle to be drained and collecting said residual contents into a second selected bottle, the first bottle having a bottle neck and the second bottle having a bottle neck, the drainage system including a generally cylindrical first coupler configured to support the first bottle in a slanted inverted position which facilitates gravity drainage of the residual contents when the coupler engages the neck of the second bottle in an upright position, the coupler including an upper bottle neck receiver an d a coaxial lower bottle neck receiver, the lower bottle neck receiver being dimensioned to engage the neck of the second bottle, the upper bottle neck receiver including a generally cylindrical inner wall, and an abutment stop for engagement with an end of the neck of the first bottle, the neck of the first bottle having a diameter less than the diameter of the inner wall whereby, when the neck of the first bottle engages the abutment stop, the first bottle slants to a position wherein it is restrained from tipping over by engagement between the neck of the first bottle and a ton edge of the inner wall diametrically spaced from the abutment stop, the bottle drainage system further including a second generally cylindrical coupler, the couplers being laterally spaced from one another, the bottle drainage system further including a generally planar base interconnecting the couplers. 10. A bottle drainage system as constructed in accordance with claim 9 wherein the second coupler includes an upper bottle neck receiver and a coaxial lower bottle neck receiver, the upper bottle neck receiver of the second coupler including a generally cylindrical inner wall and an abutment stop, the abutment stops of each coupler being apposed and lying along a diagonal common to both couplers.11. A bottle drainage system as constructed in accordance with claim 10 wherein the upper bottle neck receiver of each coupler includes a bottle neck support extending radially inwardly from the inner wall, the abutment stops being positioned at the upper end of each bottle neck support.12. A bottle drainage system for reclaiming residual contents, the system comprising a first bottle to be drained of residual contents and a second bottle for collecting said residual contents, the first bottle having a bottle neck and the second bottle having a bottle neck, the drainage system including a generally cylindrical coupler, the first bottle being supported by the coupler in a slanted inverted position which facilitates gravity drainage of the residual contents, the coupler engaging the neck of the second bottle, the second bottle being in an upright vertical position, the coupler including an upper bottle neck receiver and a coaxial lower bottle neck receiver, the lower bottle neck receiver engaging the neck of the second bottle, the upper bottle neck receiver including a generally cylindrical inner wall and an abutment stop engaging a portion of an end of the neck of the first bottle, the neck of the first bottle having a diameter less than the diameter of the inner wall, the first bottle being restrained from tipping over by engagement between the neck of the first bottle and a top edge of the inner wall diametrically spaced from the abutment stop.
