Know before you buy
To get the best results, place the empty bucket in your refrigerator or freezer for a period before use. The Nambé Alloy is specifically engineered to retain that cold temperature, keeping your champagne chilled once you add the bottle.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and integrity of the alloy, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.
Yes, with a 9-inch diameter and 7.5-inch height, the bucket is sized to comfortably accommodate a standard bottle of champagne or sparkling wine.
While the alloy is designed to retain cold temperatures after being chilled in the fridge or freezer, adding ice will further extend the cooling duration for longer events.
