That's the cleverest idea yet. I just sold a bike with two cages. They definitely hold onto the bottles.

This has turned into such a great thread!! 
I have never seen a comprehensive list of options for cup holders like this before. Hopefully, this will help other sailors in the future, too! Thank you, ALL of you, who have responded with your solutions. There are a lot of good ideas here that we didn't know about, or hadn't considered.
Clearly, this is a very important decision that best be made after many nights consuming numerous libations in the cockpit of our boat with friends. In the meantime, we will use @rpludwig 's solution of a gimbaled left or right hand. And after our comprehensive and thorough study, we will decide which solution works best for us.
So far, of all of the above, the leading contender, for our purposes, is @Gene Neill 's suggestion.

Very few if any help with stemware. How do you act sophisticated on your yacht without real (we have plastic) wine glasses? "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
@Justin_NSA - This one works well for us, making us feel particularly swanky.
I know this exact goblet won't float your boat, but perhaps Hunter has an equivalent, or any Tervis Goblet cup would work.

Insert beer, place around neck.
Started as a river raft thing, but considering how infrequently sailboats sit flat, and how many times you tragically need both hands, it sure does come in handy.
There are little cubbys beneath the winches on my '22 that are supposed to hold the spare jib sheet line...but thats too much work to stuff them back in every tack, so the cubbys hold drinks

That's the most expensive to maintain of holders by far! Not complainin' though!
Of course. Actual size may vary, but as she drinks more, she becomes more manlike and thinks they are bigger than they are.

Don't be silly. She changes cup sizes as YOU drink.
I like this one. Cheap but works well. Fits my 1” rail.

Ran across this one in the back of a sail magazine I was looking at just today.

Looks relatively well made and at a decent price.
Anyone have any experience with this holder?

I'm obviously a very amateur drinker given the wealth of knowledge displayed above on the topic!
Yeah, that's like Superyacht territory... clearly a world away from our little C22's!
