1. A flying beverage product capable of being processed through a tracked bottling machine, comprising: a bottle body having a bottom, a wall and an interior, and wherein said body interior is capable of holding a beverage;a neck incorporated in said bottle body, said neck including an opening through which a beverage may be placed into and removed from said interior;fins incorporated within the wall of said bottle body, said fins providing for aerodynamic guidance of said body as said body travels through the air in a direction defined by a vector starting from said bottom and to said neck, said fins and said bottle body being fashioned from a single unitary one-piece structure;a non-finned section formed within the wall of said bottle body between said neck and said fins, whereupon no part of any of said fins is formed within said non-finned section, said non-finned section having a maximum distance such that any two selected points on the interior of said non-finned section are no further apart than that maximum distance, wherein each fin has a point that goes inward of a diameter of the bottom and the non-finned section;a plurality of valleyed sections incorporated within the wall of said bottle body, each valleyed section being disposed between two of said fins, each of said valleyed sections including a concavity intruding upon the interior of said bottle body, wherein a distance between any two of said concavities is less than the maximum distance of said non-finned section; anda base portion adapted for transport through a track or conveyor. 2. A flying beverage product according to claim 1, wherein said non-finned section is formed in a shape of a cylinder, and further wherein said maximum distance of said non-finned section is a diameter of said non-finned section. 3. A flying beverage product according to claim 1, wherein said base portion is a cylindrical portion formed in the wall of said bottle body, whereby said bottle body may be transported on a track or conveyor without substantial interference between said fins and the track or conveyor. 4. A flying beverage product according to claim 1, wherein a number of said fins incorporated within the wall of said bottle body is four. 5. A flying beverage product according to claim 1, further comprising: a nose; anda cap portion having a seal fitted to seal said neck and provide enclosure for said interior. 6. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose is adapted to attach to an uncapped bottle. 7. A flying beverage product according to claim 6, wherein said nose is adapted to attach to an uncapped bottle using threads. 8. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose is adapted to attach to a capped bottle. 9. A flying beverage product according to claim 8, wherein said nose is adapted to attach to a capped bottle using an attachment method selected from the group consisting of slip-fit, friction fit and detents. 10. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said product has a throwing configuration wherein said nose is attached, further wherein in the throwing configuration of said product, said nose has a mass that biases a balance of said product toward the nose. 11. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose is fashioned from a pliable material. 12. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose is fashioned from a stiff material. 13. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose includes said cap portion and said nose, when assembled on said neck, acts as a cap. 14. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein a shape of said nose is selected from the group consisting of pointed, rounded and flattened shapes. 15. A flying beverage product according to claim 5, wherein said nose is adapted to cover a non-threaded portion of said neck of said bottle body when attached to said bottle body. 16. A flying beverage product capable of being processed through a tracked bottling machine, comprising: a bottle body having a bottom, a wall and an interior, and wherein said body interior is capable of holding a beverage;a neck incorporated in said bottle body, said neck including an opening through which a beverage may be placed into and removed from said interior;fins incorporated within the wall of said bottle body, said fins providing for aerodynamic guidance of said body as said body travels through the air in a direction defined by a vector starting from said bottom and to said neck, said fins and said bottle body being fashioned from a single unitary one-piece structure;a non-finned section formed within the wall of said bottle body between said neck and said fins, whereupon no part of any of said fins is formed within said non-finned section, said non-finned section having a maximum distance such that any two selected points on the interior of said non-finned section are no further apart than that maximum distance, wherein each fin has a point that goes inward of a diameter of the bottom and the non-finned section;a plurality of valleyed sections incorporated within the wall of said bottle body, each valleyed section being disposed between two of said fins, each of said valleyed sections including a concavity intruding upon the interior of said bottle body, wherein a distance between any two of said concavities is less than the maximum distance of said non-finned section; anda base portion adapted for transport through a track or conveyor; andwherein said body has a stackable configuration whereby two of said bodies may be stacked together, and further wherein in that stacking one of the fins of one of said bottles fits into said valleys formed in the other of said bottles. 17. A flying beverage product according to claim 16, wherein said base portion is a cylindrical portion formed in the wall of said bottle body, whereby said bottle body may be transported on a track or conveyor without substantial interference between said fins and the track or conveyor. 18.
