Abstract
A beverage display rack provides a track on which beverage containers slide forward for dispensing. A rib on the track engages a groove in the beverage container. The groove has a predefined relationship with the label on the container so that the label faces forward when the rib engages the groove. The rib can be an upstanding rib which extends upward from the bottom of the track or can extend inward from the sidewall of the track toward the center of the display rack to engage a groove in the beverage container. Existing display racks can be retrofitted with an insert that fits in the track and has a protruding rib to engage the beverage container.
