Champagne bucket Stalgast 477992

A copper-coloured champagne bowl designed for chilling and presenting bottled sparkling wines, champagnes and other chilled drinks. The bowl holds a bed of ice beneath the bottles, drawing heat from the glass and keeping the contents at serving temperature throughout service. The wide, open shape allows bottles to be arranged upright, with their labels visible and their necks accessible for pouring without lifting them from the bowl.

The bowl is filled with ice before service begins. Bottles are placed directly into the ice bed, where the cold surface conducts heat away from the glass. As the ice melts, it maintains a consistent low temperature around the bottles, preventing the drinks from warming. The bowl's depth and volume accommodate multiple bottles at once, so a single unit can serve a table or station without refilling.

The operator sets the bowl on a buffet, bar or side table, fills it with ice, and loads the bottles. During service, the ice level is checked and replenished as needed. After use, the remaining ice is discarded, and the bowl is cleaned and dried.

The bowl is made of metal finished in a copper colour, giving it a polished, decorative appearance that suits formal service settings. The material is chosen for its thermal conductivity and durability under frequent handling.

The bowl measures 350 mm in diameter and 230 mm in height, with a 9-litre volume. The diameter determines the space it occupies on a worktop or buffet, while the height allows bottles to stand upright without toppling. The 9-litre volume indicates the quantity of ice the bowl can hold, which in turn sets how many bottles it can chill at once.

Cleaning involves washing the bowl with warm water and a mild detergent after each use, then drying it thoroughly to prevent water spots or tarnishing. The copper-coloured finish requires no polishing, but it should be kept dry to maintain its appearance.

The bowl is listed in the catalogue under drink service equipment, specifically for chilled drink presentation.
