The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label, which suggests 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. This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.

Update history
April 29, 2008 Patch (Gold Rush Update)
- Added new swing animations.
- The Bottle's taunt now has a burp sound.
Trivia
- Scrumpy is a type of strong English cider. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles as this stops sunlight from spoiling the contents.
- The XXX logo 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]
