What Is This Product?

The Chabrias WA053 stainless steel tulip ice bucket is a 4.5 litre tabletop drinks cooler designed to hold and present one standard 75cl bottle with ice and cold water.

Its 4.5 litre capacity is equivalent to approximately 8 UK pints. This provides room around the bottle for a cooling mixture while retaining a practical tabletop footprint suitable for dining tables, bar counters, buffet stations and dedicated bottle stands.

The smooth brushed stainless steel gives the exterior an understated satin appearance. This softer finish works well with contemporary glassware, table linen, serving trays and other professional bar accessories.

Its shaped tulip profile distinguishes it from a conventional straight-sided ice bucket, while two side handles provide convenient grip points when positioning the empty cooler or clearing it after service.

The WA053 can be used at home or in commercial hospitality settings, including restaurants, hotels, bars, wedding venues, airport lounges, private dining rooms, event spaces and catering operations.

It may also be described as a Champagne bucket, wine bucket, bottle cooler, bottle chiller, handled ice bucket or stainless steel drinks cooler.

Why Choose This Product?

4.5 Litre or 8 Pint Capacity

The bucket has a generous 4.5 litre capacity, equivalent to approximately 8 UK pints.

It is designed primarily for one standard 75cl Champagne, wine, prosecco or sparkling-wine bottle with sufficient surrounding space for ice and cold water.

Bottle shapes and widths vary, so the fit of oversized, unusually shaped or magnum bottles should be checked separately.

Smooth Brushed Stainless Steel Finish

The smooth brushed finish gives the silver stainless steel a refined satin appearance without the highly reflective surface associated with a mirror-polished bucket.

This makes the cooler particularly suitable for contemporary restaurants, hotel dining rooms, lounges, bars, event venues and modern home interiors.

The brushed surface can still show water marks or handling marks, so it should be dried with a clean microfibre cloth after washing.

Distinctive Tulip-Shaped Design

The shaped body creates the recognisable tulip silhouette commonly associated with professional wine and Champagne service.

Its curved profile provides a more decorative presentation than a basic straight-sided drinks container while remaining practical for tableside use.

Two Practical Side Handles

Two side handles provide clear grip points when positioning the empty bucket on a dining table, bar counter, buffet or drinks station.

The handles also contribute to the traditional hospitality appearance of the product while making it easier to align and clear during service.

Designed for Champagne and Wine Service

Place a pre-chilled standard bottle inside the bucket before adding ice around it. Add cold water gradually to fill the spaces between the ice cubes and increase contact with the bottle surface.

The open top keeps the label visible and allows the bottle to be returned to the cooler easily between pours.

Suitable for Other Chilled Drinks

The WA053 can also be filled with ice to present bottled beer, cider, mixers, soft drinks and canned beverages.

The exact number of smaller bottles or cans that fit will depend on their individual dimensions and the quantity of ice used. Multi-bottle capacity is therefore not guaranteed.

Suitable for Home Entertaining

Use the tulip ice bucket for dinner parties, anniversaries, birthdays, festive entertaining, summer gatherings and home bars.

It provides an attractive way to keep a bottle accessible at the table while showing guests that it is being served chilled.

Suitable for Professional Hospitality

The reusable stainless steel construction and recognised tulip shape make the WA053 suitable for restaurants, hotels, bars, lounges, weddings, airport hospitality, banqueting and catering.

It can be used for tableside bottle service, reception drinks, corporate events, private dining and prepared hospitality displays.

Easy to Use

Place the bottle inside the empty bucket before adding the full quantity of ice.

Add ice evenly around the bottle, then introduce cold water gradually. Leave enough room below the rim to reduce the risk of overflow when the bottle is moved.

Common Uses

The Chabrias 4.5 litre stainless steel tulip ice bucket can be used for:

• Chilling one standard 75cl Champagne bottle

• Chilling a prosecco or sparkling-wine bottle

• Chilling white wine or rosé

• Tableside wine and Champagne service

• Presenting bottled beer and cider over ice

• Presenting soft drinks, mixers and cans

• Dinner parties and home entertaining

• Home bars and garden gatherings

• Birthday and anniversary celebrations

• Engagement parties

• Wedding reception tables

• Corporate hospitality

• Catered events

• Buffet and reception drinks stations

• Temporary outdoor events

• Professional bottle presentation

For effective cooling, place the bottle inside before adding the full quantity of ice and water. Add ice around the bottle, then pour in cold water gradually.

Do not fill the bucket completely before inserting the bottle, as displacement may cause the ice water to overflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size bottle is this ice bucket designed for?

The WA053 is designed primarily for one standard 75cl Champagne, wine, prosecco or sparkling-wine bottle with ice and cold water.

The fit of unusually wide, tall or non-standard bottle shapes may vary.

How many bottles does the bucket hold?

The recommended capacity is one standard 75cl bottle with ice and cold water.

The product is intended as a tabletop bottle cooler rather than a guaranteed multi-bottle drinks tub.

Can it hold two wine bottles?

Two-bottle capacity is not guaranteed. Whether two bottles fit will depend on their individual width, shape and the amount of ice used.

For reliable service, the bucket should be treated as a one-bottle wine or Champagne cooler.

Can it hold a magnum bottle?

The WA053 is designed primarily for a standard 75cl bottle. A 1.5 litre magnum is wider and may not leave sufficient space for ice.

Choose a dedicated magnum bottle cooler when guaranteed magnum capacity is required.

What is the capacity?

The bucket has a capacity of approximately 4.5 litres, equivalent to approximately 8 UK pints.

What are the dimensions?

The ice bucket measures approximately:

• 21cm high

• 24cm in diameter

The maximum width across the handles may be greater than the body diameter.

Is it made from stainless steel?

Yes. The bucket is made from stainless steel with a smooth brushed silver finish.

It is not made from silver-effect plastic, glass or ceramic.

Is the finish polished or brushed?

The WA053 has a smooth brushed or satin finish.

It should not be described as highly polished or mirror-polished.

What does tulip-shaped mean?

Tulip-shaped describes the curved profile of the bucket. The body widens towards the upper section to create a more decorative hospitality-led silhouette than a basic straight-sided container.

Does the bucket have handles?

Yes. It has two side handles for positioning and clearing the bucket.

Does it include a lid?

No. This is an open-top wine and Champagne ice bucket and is supplied without a lid.

Are bottles and ice included?

No. The listing includes one WA053 stainless steel tulip ice bucket.

Bottles, ice, Champagne flutes, flowers, stands and other items shown in product photography are for demonstration only.

Can it be used for beer and soft drinks?

Yes. The bucket can also present bottled beer, cider, mixers, soft drinks and cans over ice.

The number that fits will depend on the dimensions of the containers and the amount of ice used.

Does it keep drinks cold without ice?

The WA053 is designed to be used with ice and cold water around a pre-chilled bottle.

It does not electrically refrigerate a bottle and should not be expected to cool drinks effectively without a cooling medium.

Why should I add water as well as ice?

Cold water fills the gaps between the ice cubes and increases contact with the bottle surface.

This can chill the bottle more evenly than using loose ice cubes alone.

Is it suitable for weddings?

Yes. The brushed stainless steel finish and tulip-shaped profile make the bucket suitable for wedding reception tables, welcome-drinks stations, venue bars and formal dining displays.

Is it suitable for restaurants and hotels?

Yes. It is suitable for restaurants, hotels, bars, private dining rooms, lounges and event venues.

The open top provides straightforward bottle access during tableside service.

Is it suitable for airport hospitality?

Yes. The handled tulip design is suitable for airport lounges, terminal hospitality and other busy service environments where consistent presentation and convenient handling are important.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. It can be used temporarily for garden parties, patios, BBQs, outdoor wedding receptions and catered events in suitable weather.

Wash, dry and store the bucket indoors after use rather than leaving it outside for extended periods.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Hand washing is recommended to protect the brushed stainless steel finish from scratching, dulling and contact with other metal items.

How should I clean the brushed finish?

Use warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.

Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean microfibre cloth to help minimise visible water marks.

Will the brushed surface show fingerprints?

Brushed stainless steel can still show fingerprints, water marks and handling marks during use.

These can normally be removed with a clean, soft microfibre cloth.

Will stainless steel rust?

Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, but appropriate care is still required.

Do not leave melting ice, standing water, salt, fruit, acidic liquids or drink residue inside for prolonged periods. Wash and dry the bucket thoroughly before storage.

Shipping & Care

Wash the ice bucket before first use with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.

After each use, remove the bottle and empty all remaining ice and water. Wash the interior and exterior, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean microfibre cloth.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive scourers, metal brushes, harsh chemicals or sharp cleaning tools. These may scratch or dull the brushed stainless steel surface.

Avoid leaving melting ice, standing water, salt, fruit, acidic liquids or drink residue inside the bucket for extended periods.

Use a soft microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, light water marks and handling marks from the exterior.

Do not place the bucket directly onto delicate furniture when its exterior is wet. Condensation may develop during use, so place it on a suitable tray, coaster or water-resistant tabletop where necessary.

Store the bucket indoors in a clean and dry location. Avoid stacking heavy objects inside it or placing pressure on the rim and side handles.

During transport, package the bucket securely to protect the body, rim and handles from scratching, impact or distortion.
