An ice chest ( 1 ) has a dividing wall ( 11 ), preferably formed from an end wall of a container ( 10 ) sized to fit within the ice chest ( 1 ). The space between the interior of the ice chest and the dividing wall constitutes an ice receiving cavity which, when filled with ice, can function as an ice bucket to provide extra cooling to one bottle ( 30 ) in contact with the ice, whilst remaining bottles ( 31 ) are maintained cool, but at a higher temperature, and dry within the container ( 10 ). Melt water from the ice is separated by the container ( 10 ) from the general contents of the ice chest and thus is not contaminated by bacteria and may be drunk following dispensing via a drain cock ( 8 ). A method of cooling is also disclosed.
