a plate having (i) a front edge, (ii) a rear edge, and (iii) side edges extending between the front and rear edges;
an elongated support member having (i) a base secured to the rear edge of the plate and (ii) a rail protruding upward from the base, wherein the rail extends between the side edges of the plate; and
a support brace (i) disposed on a top of the plate, (ii) slidably engaging the rail such that the support brace is slidable between the side edges, and (iii) defining a notch configured to engage a bottle disposed on the top of the plate to restrict movement of the bottle, wherein (a) the support brace includes a hook, (b) the support brace includes a resilient clip extending downward from the hook, (c) the hook engages the base, engages the rail, and extends over a top of the rail, (d) the resilient clip snaps onto the base and extends under a lower end of the base to connect the support brace to the elongated support member such that (I) engagement between the hook and the rail and base facilitates movement of the support brace between the side edges of the plate, (II) engagement between the hook and the rail and base restricts movement of the support brace between the front and rear edges of the plate, and (III) engagement between the resilient clip and the base restricts vertical movement of the support brace relative to the elongated support member.
