I adore this Veuve Clicquot 'Dry Blizzard' champagne cooler from industrial designer Thomas Lemaire. The act of chilling a bottle of bubbly should be a far more dramatic act than it is, and this 'Dry Blizzard' is a welcome change from the standard bucket of icewater.
Lemaire's 'Dry Blizzard' champagne bucket utilizes dry ice and a fan to circulate cold air around the bottle; the double-walled glass design ensures hot hands don't alter the temperature one iota.
