ice buckets

Wine chilling vessels

Ice buckets are containers designed to hold ice, typically used to chill bottles of wine or champagne at the table: The waiter brought the champagne in an ice bucket.

Smaller ice buckets serve as part of a bar setup, holding ice cubes for drinks.

The phrase gained currency through the viral ice bucket challenge of 2014, where participants dumped ice water over their heads to raise awareness for ALS research.
