The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX'. The label suggests the scrumpy was made in 1808.
While the weapon works similar to most 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. This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being whole.
Since this is a base weapon, it can be renamed, and will appear as a weapon in the regular player's inventory.

Trivia
- Scrumpy is a type of strong English cider. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles to reflect sunlight and heat.
- The Demoman takes a drink during the taunt, even if the Bottle has been smashed.
- The Bottle must be empty, as the Demoman holds it upside down with no cork, but the taunt sounds suggest otherwise.
- The XXX logo also appears on 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 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.[1]
