This Alessi Bar range takes its name from the classic American Style Boston Cocktail Shaker and includes the Wine Cooler ( Champagne Bucket ) in two version, Wine Cooler Stand, Ice Bucket, Ice Tongs, Shaker, Strainer and Stirrer all in stylish polished stainless steel

This project comes from an in-depth investigation into professional tools for Bars and for wines, which was carried out in the late 1970's by Ettore Sottsass along with Alberto Gozzi of the Scuola Alberghiera, Italy's famous training school for the hotel trade.

There are four basic shapes for all wine bottles : Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhine and Champagne. To contain and cool these different shapes upto the neck, Gozzi's research came up with two different coolers, which both demonstrate his close attention to the practical use. The body is of different thicknesses: thicker on the bottom and on the edges in order to avoid dents. The handles have been studied to ensure a perfect grip, even with a single hand. They can hold two bottles which can be immersed right upto the neck, and lastly they can be stacked.
The Wine Cooler is available in two sizes: 5052 is designed to hold two bottles of Bordeaux or two bottles of Burgundy or one Champagne Bottle - whilst the 5052/RM is designed to hold Two Rhine Wine Bottles or one Magnum Bottle.
