Abstract
A controlled pour bottle is disclosed which possesses a vent tube leading from the neck to an elevated shoulder. The vent tube inhibits the interruption of the flow of a poured fluid due to the ingestion of air back into the bottle by allowing the headspace to fill with air without ingesting air through the fluid flow as the bottle empties.
