Bottle coolers
What is a bottle cooler?
A bottle cooler is a device designed to keep a bottle, usually of wine or champagne, at a cool temperature for a period of time. Unlike an ice bucket, which uses ice to cool or keep cool, a bottle cooler often works without ice. In this section, Buffet-Plus also presents models of buckets that use ice to cool and keep your bottles cool.
These are very practical for keeping bottles cool at a catering buffet or cocktail party, but also for picnics, outdoor dinners or simply to keep a bottle at an ideal temperature during an evening.
Bottle coolers: keeping bottles cool at the bar and at the table
Among the many bar accessories available on Buffet-Plus, discover the Bottle Cooler. These innovative items will keep your bottles cool for several hours, in some cases without the need for additional ice or ice cubes.
Compatible with plastic mineral water bottles or glass wine bottles, you can also use them to keep bottles cool even outdoors, at meetings, conferences, on terraces, etc.
Which bottle cooler model to choose?
There are a number of different models, each suitable for most bottles. Choose from the different options on offer to suit your needs.
The classic bottle cooler: This is a hollow stand into which the bottle is inserted and which keeps it cool thanks to its highly insulating inner wall. Models are available in metal-look polypropylene, transparent MS imitation glass, concrete or copper-look stainless steel. In all cases, bottle coolers come in different sizes, with the larger ones designed for wine or water bottles and the smaller ones for beer bottles, for example. Of course, all bottled drinks can be cooled.
Insulating cover: The outside of the isolating cover is made of tear-resistant fabric. The polyethylene interior is filled with cooling gel. It is ideal for cooling wine and champagne bottles. Before use, the cover is placed in the freezer where it accumulates cold and then cools a bottle in just a few minutes. The advantage of the cover is that it can be reused indefinitely, making it a good investment for your bar or restaurant.
Multi-bottle coolers: You'll also find multi-bottle coolers for catering professionals. The shelves are wider and can hold more bottles, up to 6, as well as a bowl that you can fill with ice cubes to showcase different drinks.
Electric coolers: This type of cooler uses a small built-in cooling system, powered by an electrical outlet or batteries, to maintain the temperature of the bottle. We do not supply this type of cooler.
There are also models with an aerating pourer stopper and a stainless-steel stem to cool the wine, allowing you to use a decanter to serve the wine. There are also express bottle coolers, which are electric machines that can cool a bottle in a minute or two! Much less elegant than a bottle cooler, they can be used in the kitchen before serving the wine.
Whatever you choose, it's important to keep your wine at the right temperature in the cellar and then serve it with a bottle that's also at the right temperature.
