The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and a year suggesting the scrumpy was made in 1808.
While the weapon works similarly to most of the other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and will remain so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range, and deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.
The Bottle's critical hit animation is a swift downward swing.

Update history
April 29, 2008 Patch (Gold Rush Update)
- Added new swing animations.
- [Undocumented] The Bottle's taunt now has a burp sound.
- Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
- Added new community contributed response rules to this weapon.
Trivia
- Scrumpy is a type of strong cider made in the West Country of England. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles as this stops sunlight from spoiling the contents.
- The XXX logo appears on the Reggaelator and the Scout's Whoopee Cap.
- The bucket icons for the Bottle are team-specific, showing that there were RED and BLU versions of the Bottle.
- In the Demoman's animation files, there is an unused animation for a Bottle taunt kill, where Demoman flips the Bottle over, catches it, offers a drink, then smashes the Bottle into the face of the victim.
