A "wooden water bottle" typically has a wood outer sleeve (bamboo, mango, teak) wrapped around a stainless steel or glass inner. Pure wood water bottles do not exist — wood alone leaks and rots. India price: ₹800-2500. Wood adds aesthetic and grip; the water-contact material is still steel or glass. For durability and daily use, plain stainless steel wins on lifecycle. Wooden bottles work as gifts and aesthetic-first pieces.

Marketing shorthand for wood-sleeved bottles. Common wood outers: bamboo, mango wood, teak, acacia. Inner is stainless steel (most common) or borosilicate glass. Pure hollow-wood bottles are not a real product.
When wooden bottles make sense
- Gifting (aesthetic-first).

When to skip
Daily carry (wood sleeve wears in bag pockets), hot drinks (wood-glued sleeves can loosen), high-humidity climates (wood swells).
Care
Wipe wood exterior with a dry cloth. Never dishwasher. Reapply food-safe wood oil every 3-6 months for teak/mango wood variants.
