Creatine isn't supposed to be kept in liquid for any sustained period of time. If you're going to keep a container (presumable a thermos of some sort) of grape juice around, simply put a serving of creatine in a small Ziploc bag and mix it with your juice, immediately after your workout.

Which ones would that be? I've seen a few powdered ones, already bottled. Would those be the type?

SportPharma used to have an MRP called NutriForce, which had 5 grams of creatine in it. But, those weren't bottled; they were in the traditional package.

I believe max is 1/2 hour.  Dextrose would be a better transporter than grape juice.
