contents We study a bottleneck spin model with $N$ spins, split into two Curie-Weiss models at low temperature with a bottleneck between them. We propose multiple ways of how to realize such a bottleneck and study its influence on the phase transition in the thermodynamic limit $N \to \infty$. In all versions of this model we prove the existence of a threshold that determines whether or not the presence of the bottleneck is felt in the phase transition. This threshold depends on the size of the bottleneck and the interaction strength through it.
