A double-walled wine and champagne cooler in stainless steel, holding approximately 1.58 litres, standing 18 cm tall on a 11.9 cm diameter. The double wall is the functional feature: it insulates the ice water inside so the outside surface stays dry and the bottle stays cold longer, without condensation running onto the table.

The bucket takes a standard wine or champagne bottle with room for ice around it, and the polished steel finish reflects light in the way that makes it work as a table piece rather than a back-of-house tool. Steel also survives commercial dishwashing and knocks that would dent thinner metal.

It is bought both for hospitality use and as a gift. Restaurants, hotels, event caterers and members clubs order coolers as branded service equipment on the table, while wine importers, distilleries and drinks brands use them as trade gifts to on-trade customers. In corporate gifting it works as a year-end present for clients who entertain, or as a prize in an incentive programme.

The smooth outer wall is a large uninterrupted surface for laser engraving, which keeps the mark permanent through repeated washing. Supplied in silver, packed in a giftbox or polybag. MerchRepublic engraves and ships in bulk across the EU.
