This article is about the Demoman's stock melee weapon. For other bottles, see Bottle (disambiguation).

“

Ay, me bottle o' scrumpy! Click to listen — The Demoman

”

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 it was made in 1808.

The Bottle's critical hit animation is a swift downward swing.

Unused content

• In the VPK, there exists an unused texture for the beta BLU bottle listed as v_bottle_blue. There is also a version of the model where the Bottle is broken, as well as hit sounds for it.
• Originally, the Bottle would break on hit if the player dealt a critical hit or hit a surface. This was reverted when Valve updated all in-game models to use the c_model system instead of the v_model system, which helped optimize memory usage.

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 refers to how alcohol is commonly portrayed in cartoons to avoid copyright infringement. It is also a reference to the traditional way of rating alcohol strength, 3 X's being the strongest.
• The bucket icons for the Bottle are team-specific, showing that there were RED and BLU versions of the Bottle.
• Despite being empty, the Bottle makes a "sloshing" sound when the Demoman drinks from it during its taunt. Additionally, the Demoman still wipes his lips and burps after "drinking".
• In Grave Matters, an advertisement for Blu Streak and Bonk! Atomic Punch can be seen.
• The year on the bottle suggests that the scrumpy is over 160 years old.
• At one point the bottle broke on a critical hit, having a different model, but had the same stats. This was most likely removed so newer players would not think that its stats would change.
