A container for storing and dispensing carbonated beverages, including a housing having a sculpted base surface, a storage bladder, a dispensing valve, compression means within the housing to apply a continuous force to a piston between the compression means and the bladder, the piston having a shape complementary to the sculpted surface, guide means biasing the piston when pushed by the compression means against the bladder, whereby, as liquid is drawn from the bladder via the valve the liquid is exhausted by the piston mating with the first sculpted surface. Also a cap to seal an externally threaded container outlet, the cap having a base wall and peripheral skirt carrying an internal thread which engages with an external thread on the outlet, a spigot having an axial bore, being frangibly connected to extend from the base wall within the cap coaxially with the skirt, the spigot portion having means formed on its outside wall to engage the outlet bore, whereby selective screwing movement of the cap causes rupture of the frangible connection so that the spigot is retained in the outlet bore.

1. A container for the storage and dispensing of carbonated beverages, said container comprising:a rigid shell having, at its base internal to the shell, a first sculpted surface as herein defined;a bladder, for retaining a liquid, housed within the shell;valve means in communication with the inside of the bladder and the outside of the shell;compression means within the shell but external to the bladder and adapted to apply a continuous force to a piston means;said piston means interposed between the compression means and the bladder, the surface of the piston adjacent the bladder having a shape complementary to the first sculpted surface thus forming a second sculpted surface;wherein, in use, the second sculpted surface of the piston acts on the bladder thereby shaping the bladder according to that surface and, as liquid is dispensed from the bladder via the valve means, the piston is urged by the compression means towards the first sculpted surface at the base of the shell and mates therewith when the liquid is exhausted. 2. A container as defined in claim 1, wherein the second sculpted surface at the bottom face of the piston comprises a central rounded protuberance which extends downwards for a distance of about 20-30% of the width of the container. 3. A container as defined in claim 2, wherein a substantial portion of the perimeter of the second sculpted surface at the bottom face of the piston has a downwardly extending lip gradually radiused onto an annular horizontal portion of the face. 4. A container as defined in claim 3, wherein the bladder is elastic and contracts as the fluid is dispensed.
