1. A container for bottles or the like, wherein the container comprises a plurality of hollow cells each adapted to receive one bottle and presenting two converging external side faces and one bottom face with which the side faces define side edges; wherein each of the cells is defined by two thin side walls that are interconnected at an apex, the side edges being connected to a belt in such a manner that the portion of the belt between two side edges forms a bottom wall of a triangular cell, the side walls defining the external side faces of the cell; wherein the two side walls of a given cell are hinged together at the apex; and wherein the cells are interconnected so that two adjacent cells are hinged together via the side edges such that the container presents: a folded state in which the side faces of the cells bear one against another so as to give the container the shape of a cylinder on a polygonal base; and a deployed state in which the bottom faces of the cells extend flat and the cells extend beside one another, with each of the cells remaining suitable for receiving one bottle.
