The term ‘wine coaster’ was first recognised in 1887, the original name being ‘bottle slider’ in relation to the ability to slide the wine along a surface without damage to the table or the bottle. Silver bottle sliders started to be produced in the 18th century, and good condition examples from this period are highly sought after. During the Victorian period their popularity wained as claret jugs became the fashionable way to serve wine, however the 20th century saw a resurgence in production, and they are still manufactured today.
