A disposable collapsible beverage bottle is disclosed which includes a plurality of flexible straps extending along the bottle's exterior from a collar surrounding the neck of the bottle to a ratcheting arrangement at the bottom of the bottle. When the ratcheting arrangement is actuated, the straps are shortened causing the bottle to collapse. In this way, the volume of air in the bottle is controlled.
