A closure for a beverage container is disclosed. Said closure comprises an inserted element (2) and a closing member (3) which can be inserted into a mouth of the inserted element (2). A first engaging structure (22) mounted on the internal face of the inserted element (2) can be connected to a second engaging structure (36) arranged on the external face of the closing member (3). The inserted element (2) further has a funnel section (25) above the first engaging structure (22). The closing member (3) has a closed top surface (32), a handle element (31), and an apron (35) with outlets (33). The engaging structures (22, 36) are designed such that the closing member (3) can be moved relative to the inserted element in a vertical direction between a first position in which the closing member (3) seals the mouth and a second position in which the outlets (33) open passages for a liquid.

1. A closure for a beverage container, comprising an insert element for being inserted in a vessel, the insert element having a bottom portion, a middle portion and a top portion as well as a continuous closure opening going through each of said portions, the bottom portion having an inner side with a first engaging structure, which first engaging structure is configured as an internal thread, the middle portion comprising a connecting structure for connecting the insert element to a vessel and the top portion comprising a raised, circumferential rim which extends upward from the first engaging structure and forms a drinking edge or pouring edge; anda closure body insertable into the closure opening of the insert element and having a closed top surface adapted for closing the closure opening of the insert element and a circumferential apron extending downward from the top surface, which apron has a plurality of discharge openings in the form of through holes distributed evenly along a peripheral direction in a downwardly extending part of the apron, and a second engaging structure complementary to the first engaging structure, said second engaging structure being configured as an external thread and being arranged below the discharge openings or such that it overlaps with the discharge openings, the engaging structures being configured such that, when said first engaging structure and said second engaging structure are operatively engaged, (i) said top surface of said closure body is disposed below said top portion and (ii) the closure body, by rotating the top surface, in order to unscrew the second engaging structure from the first engaging structure, is movable in the vertical direction relative to the bottom portion of the insert element between a first position, in which it seals the closure opening, and a second position, in which the discharge openings are in a position above the bottom portion of the insert element and open up passages for a liquid, whereby the amount of liquid passing through said openings is variable. 2. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two downwardly projecting, radially outward pointing hooks are arranged on the apron, which hooks prevent complete removal of the closure body from the insert element by butting against a bottom edge of the insert element as the closure body is withdrawn from the insert element. 3. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closure body has a sealing element, which is arranged on a radial outer side of the apron above the discharge openings and which in the first position comes to lie between the closure body and the insert element and thereby seals off the closure opening. 4. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the passages have a cross-sectional area which is variable by the position of the closure body between the first and the second position. 5. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the discharge openings are configured as through holes. 6. The closure as claimed in claim 5, wherein the discharge openings are arranged above the second engaging structure. 7. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the discharge openings are configured as cut-outs, which are open toward the lower end of the apron. 8. The closure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the discharge openings are arranged such that they overlap with the second engaging structure. 9. A beverage container, having: a closure with an insert element for being inserted in a vessel, the insert element having a bottom portion, a middle portion and a top portion as well as a continuous closure opening going through each of said portions, the bottom portion having an inner side with a first engaging structure , which first engaging structure is configured as an internal thread, the middle portion comprising a connecting structure for connecting the insert element to a vessel and the top portion comprising a raised, circumferential rim which extends upward from the first engaging structure and forms a drinking edge or pouring edge; andwith a closure body insertable into the closure opening of the insert element and having a closed top surface adapted for closing the closure opening of the insert element and a circumferential apron extending downward from the top surface, which apron has a plurality of discharge openings in the form of through holes distributed evenly along a peripheral direction in a downwardly extending part of the apron, and a second engaging structure complementary to the first engaging structure, which second engaging structure is configured as an external thread and being arranged below the discharge openings or such that it overlaps with the discharge openings, the engaging structures being configured such that, when said first engaging structure and said second engaging structure are operatively engaged, (i) said top surface of said closure body is disposed below said top portion and (ii) the closure body, by rotating the top surface, in order to unscrew the second engaging structure from the first engaging structure, is movable in the vertical direction relative to the insert element between a first position, in which it seals the closure opening, and a second position, in which the discharge openings are in a position above the bottom portion of the insert element and open up passages for a liquid, whereby the amount of liquid passing through said openings is variable, andan upwardly open vessel having a vessel bottom, an upper vessel opening and a circumferential vessel side wall, the insert element being insertable into the upper vessel opening and being connectable to the vessel side wall. 10. The beverage container as claimed in claim 9, wherein the vessel is of double-walled configuration. 11. The beverage container as claimed in claim 9, wherein, for the connection of the vessel to the insert element, the vessel side wall has in the region of the upper vessel opening on the radial inner side a first connecting structure, and wherein the insert element has on its outer side a second connecting structure, which is configured so as to be complementary to the first connecting structure. 12. The beverage container as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first connecting structure is configured as an internal thread and the second connecting structure as an external thread. 13. The beverage container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closure body being moveable vertically cooperates with the discharge openings in the downwardly projecting apron to permit the user to continuously adjust the size of the passage for the liquid streaming out of the beverage container during drinking. 14. The beverage container as claimed in claim 9, wherein the closure body being moveable vertically cooperates with the discharge openings in the downwardly projecting apron to permit the user to continuously adjust the size of the passage for the liquid streaming out of the beverage container during drinking.
