A server for displaying and keeping cool wine bottles and the like includes a generally cylindrical housing open at the top for receiving a bottle, wherein the side wall of the housing generally conforms to and surrounds the side exterior of the bottle. A bottom wall is joined at its perimeter to the side wall to form a receptacle for housing ice in contact with the side wall. A support structure is positioned within the housing above the bottom wall to hold a bottle above and out of contact with the ice, with the support structure including an opening to allow placement of ice into the receptacle through the top opening of the housing. At least one-half of the area of the side wall is made of a heat conductive material and the remaining area of the side wall is made of a substantially transparent material to enable viewing the interior of the server. At least a portion of the heat conductive material of the side wall is positioned to contact ice placed in the receptacle and to extend vertically upwardly to surround a portion of a bottle placed in the server.

A server for chilled wine and similar beverages or foods includes a generally cylindrically-shaped side wall into which a bottle or other container may be placed. The side wall is constructed of a heat conductive material such as aluminum, copper, alloys thereof, etc. , of sufficient thickness to conduct heat as needed in its long direction. The cooler also includes an ice receptacle which holds the ice either in contact with the side wall or an extension or appendage thereof. The side wall acts to present the wine container with a surface which is at or below the temperature of the wine. This substantially eliminates the transfer of heat by radiation to the wine container. The server also minimizes conductive and/or convective heat transfer between the wine bottle and the surroundings. The side wall of the server surrounds at least about one-half of the height of the enlarged part of the bottle being cooled.
