Repository of champagne: pour after formality? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ice bucket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'repository of champagne' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'pour after formality?' is the wordplay.
'pour' becomes 'bucket' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'formality?' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before).
'bucket' after 'ice' is 'ICE BUCKET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ice bucket that I've seen before include "Wine chiller" , "Holder of frozen water" , "To get cooler" , "Wine cooler" , "What waiter brings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
