A container compression device and a method for associating a beverage container with the container compression device is provided, wherein the container compression device is configurable between an extended configuration and a compressed configuration, container compression device including a first handle portion, wherein the first handle portion includes a plurality of first handle portion linking members pivotably associated with the first handle portion. The container compression device also includes a second handle portion, wherein the second handle portion includes a plurality of second handle portion linking members pivotably associated with the second handle portion. Additionally, the plurality of second handle portion linking members are rotatably connected to the plurality of first handle portion linking members via at least one releasable locking device, wherein the at least one releasable locking device is configurable between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration.

What is claimed is: 1. A manual container compression device defining a container compression device cavity for holding a beverage container, wherein the container compression device is configurable between an extended configuration and a compressed configuration for manually compressing the beverage container, the container compression device comprising:a first compression surface;a plurality of first linking members pivotably connected to said first compression surface;a second compression surface;a plurality of second linking members pivotably connected to said second compression surface;a first handle junction; anda second handle junction, said first handle junction being located opposite to said second handle junction,wherein said first handle junction is formed by pivotally connecting one of said plurality of first linking members with one of said plurality of second linking members and said second handle junction is formed by pivotally connecting the other of said plurality of first linking members with the other of said plurality of second linking members, andwherein at least one of said plurality of first linking members is pivotably connected with at least one of said plurality of second linking members via a releasable locking device, said releasable locking device being configurable between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration to lockingly configure the container compression device between the extended configuration and the compressed configuration, wherein when the container compression device is configured in the extended configuration the container compression device cavity is larger than when the container compression device is configured in the compressed configuration.
