A self-leveling drip catcher for fluid containers. The apparatus comprises an elongated neck and a fluid containment portion at the bottom of the neck. An opening is provided in the top of the neck to releasably attach the apparatus to the fluid container. The fluid containment portion is designed to catch the fluid dispensed from the fluid container which is not received in a drinking receptacle. The fluid is received by the fluid containment portion and is collected therein. The apparatus provides a center of gravity for maintaining a level and balanced equilibrium and substantially vertical orientation when fluid is received into the fluid containment portion.
