# Dramatic Champagne Chillers Veuve Clicquot 'Dry Blizzard' Makes Cooling Bubbly Beautiful By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-02-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veuve-clicquot-ice-bucket-makes-cooling-bubbly-beautiful References: [trendsnow.net](http://www.trendsnow.net/trends_now_/2009/02/veuve-cliquot-dry-blizzard.html) & [cardesignnews](http://cardesignnews.com/site/designers/portfolios/display/store5/item91825/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dramatic Champagne Chillers:** The trend of utilizing innovative methods to chill champagne enhances the dining experience and adds a touch of spectacle to the occasion. - **Enhanced Cooling Methods:** The trend of utilizing dry ice and fan technology to circulate cold air around champagne bottles revolutionizes the way champagne is chilled and served. - **Design Innovation in Champagne Accessories:** The trend of incorporating double-walled glass designs in champagne coolers allows for better insulation and temperature control, providing a more enjoyable drinking experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality and Restaurants:** Innovative champagne chilling methods can disrupt the traditional dining experience, attracting customers and enhancing the ambiance of fine dining establishments. - **Event and Party Planning:** The use of dramatic champagne chillers can bring a unique touch to special events and parties, creating a memorable experience for guests. - **Luxury Home Accessories:** High-end double-walled champagne coolers with innovative cooling methods can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the luxury home accessories market, offering functional yet stylish products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Libation-Cooling Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamas.md) - [Celebratory Champagne-Branded Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-veuve-clicquot.md) - [Easy-To-Drink Champagnes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veuve-clicquot-unveils.md) - [Portable Wine Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-wine-cooler.md) - [Vintage Fire Extinguisher Champagnes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/code-rouge-edition.md) - [Quick Can-Cooling Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-minute-beverage-chiller.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Champagne Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartney-x-veuve-clicquot-collection.md) - [Chilled Soda Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkin-cold-soda-maker.md) - [Rapid-Chilling Beverage Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-drink-cooler.md)
