We claim: 1. A device for removing a bottle cap, the device comprising: a substantially rigid disk-shaped insert with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter and having an opening from the top surface to the bottom surface that is sized and configured to remove a cap from a bottle; and, a
We claim: 1. A device for removing a bottle cap, the device comprising: a substantially rigid disk-shaped insert with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter and having an opening from the top surface to the bottom surface that is sized and configured to remove a cap from a bottle; and, a ring-shaped stabilizing structure comprising an inner circumference and an outer circumference that are strengthened by support ribs, the stabilizing structure surrounding and engaging the rigid disk-shaped insert top surface, bottom surface and perimeter with the inner circumference of the stabilizing structure, and the opening exposed and not covered by the stabilizing structure. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the opening is rectangular. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the rigid disk-shaped insert has at least one perimetral notch and the stabilizing structure is molded around and engages the notch. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the stabilizing structure further comprises a first raised ridge circumscribing the inner circumference. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the stabilizing structure further comprises a second raised ridge located at the outer circumference. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the stabilizing structure further comprises at least one support rib connecting the first raised ridge to the second raised ridge strengthening the stabilizing structure when forces are applied during bottle cap removal. 7. A device for insulating a beverage vessel and removing a bottle cap, the device comprising: a generally cylindrical insulating sleeve; a substantially disk-shaped rigid insert including an opening; and, a ring-shaped stabilizing structure comprising an inner circumference and an outer circumference, wherein the rigid disk-shaped insert is engaged with the inner circumference of the stabilizing structure, and the outer circumference of the stabilizing structure is engaged with the insulating sleeve. 8. A device for insulating a beverage vessel and removing a bottle cap, the device comprising: a generally cylindrically-shaped insulating sleeve comprised of thermally insulating material having an open top at one end and a circumferential lip at a bottom open end; a substantially planar disk-shaped insert having an opening there through sized and configured to remove a cap from a bottle; and, a ring-shaped stabilizing structure including an inner circumference and an outer circumference, wherein the rigid disk-shaped insert is embedded within the stabilizing structure inner circumference, and the inside of the circumferential lip of the insulating sleeve is engaged with the outer circumference of the stabilizing structure. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein the insulating sleeve is sized to receive a standard sized beverage vessel. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein the stabilizing structure further comprises a plurality of support ribs connecting the inner circumference to the outer circumference allowing for the reduction of material while still allowing for structural stability and strength. 11. The device of claim 8, further including a standard sized beverage vessel, the beverage vessel abutting the stabilizing structure. 12. A method of removing a bottle cap from a beverage vessel comprising: providing a beverage vessel insulating sleeve with a first open end and a second open end having a circumferential lip; passing a disk through the first open end of the sleeve, the disk having an opening sized and configured for removing a cap from a bottle, the disk consisting of two distinct parts comprising 1) a substantially planar insert that includes the opening; and, 2) a ring-shaped stabilizing structure surrounding the circumference of the insert, the stabilizing structure further including an inner circumference and an outer circumference; lodging the disk within the sleeve; inserting a part of a bottle having a bottle cap into the opening of the disk-shaped insert; and, prying the cap off the bottle by leveraging the cap against an edge of the opening. 13. A method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the step of inserting a part of a bottle into the opening occurs with one beverage vessel while a second beverage vessel is nested within the sleeve. 14. A method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the step of lodging the disk within the sleeve includes press fitting the disk adjacent to the second open end that is opposite the first open end and engaging the circumferential lip of the sleeve.
