Cold containers for bubbly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

champers

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

'for bubbly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold containers' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'cold' could be 'c' (eg on taps) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'containers' could be 'hampers' (hamper is a kind of container) and 'hampers' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for champers that I've seen before include "Drink casually" , "celebratory drink" , "People who eat" , "Kind of sparkling wine (slang)" , "Bubbly" .)
