How to choose the right Wine and Ice Buckets

• Match capacity to service style, from single-bottle coolers for table service to larger tubs for sharing or events.
• Choose materials such as polished or brushed stainless steel for durability, or acrylic and plastic where weight and break resistance matter.
• Consider insulation and double-wall construction if you need ice and bottles to stay cold for extended periods with minimal condensation.
• Plan for space and layout, using stands or table-mounted holders where bar or tabletop space is limited.
• Align the finish and design with your bar or restaurant decor, from sleek contemporary to rustic galvanised styles.
• Look for ergonomic handles and stable bases to support safe, efficient service during busy shifts.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse buckets and coolers after every service to remove meltwater, wine drips and residue before they dry on.
• Use non-abrasive cloths and mild detergent to clean stainless steel and acrylic surfaces, avoiding scouring pads that can scratch.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots and maintain a polished, front-of-house-ready finish.
• Store buckets and stands carefully to avoid dents, cracks or damage to insulating layers.
• Periodically check handles, welds and stands for looseness or wear and tighten or replace as needed.
• Follow any manufacturer guidance on dishwasher suitability, especially for insulated or acrylic items.
