Wooden Schnapsbank with shot glasses

A 'Schnapsbank' (schnapps bench) is a traditional novelty gift item popular in German-speaking alpine regions. It consists of a miniature wooden bench, often featuring a heart cutout and decorative engraving, designed to hold shot glasses.

These items are widely produced as artisan crafts by small-scale woodworking shops in Germany and Austria, which focus on local materials like pine or beech. However, large-scale commercial versions sold through online marketplaces and general gift retailers are often manufactured in China to meet higher demand and lower price points. Ownership varies as most are unbranded artisan goods or produced by private-label gift companies rather than a single global brand.
