Color: French Picnic

Amazon.com Review

We've all experienced the annoyance of room-temperature liquids when we want them icy cold. This little sleeve cools bottles of wine or juice in about five minutes. The sleeve stores in the freezer, like most reusable ice packs--just pull it out, slip it over the bottle, and spend those five minutes admiring Guy Buffet's painting of French picnickers (who are also enjoying wine) that decorates the exterior of the sleeve. The inside diameter measures a bit less than 5 inches--perfect for champagne, sparkling cider, or your favorite Chardonnay. --Jill Lightner

There are few other viable ways of cooling a bottle down quickly that are this effortless. Slide the sleeve on (stick in freezer or not), wait, cork, and drink.

Besides this main feature, the chiller can serve two other purposes. First, after corking and pouring the first round of glasses, the chiller can serve in place of a more expensive metal bucket or crystal chiller. Second, the chiller is great for bring bottles of white wine to friends' homes that you want to share immediately. Many people start with whites and if you are bringing a room-temperature white, it's annoying having to wait for it to chill in the freezer. Those 15-30 minutes may see your bottle passed over and forgotten. But with the Rapid Ice chiller, you can arrive with a bottle that's ready to drink immediately, even if traveling to your friends' took a while.

I keep two of these in my freezer at all times! When I'm ready to chill down a bottle of wine for dinner, I slip the frozen sleeve around the bottle, pop it all into the freezer for 10 minutes, and presto! Perfectly chilled wine in no time. The Wine Chiller also works great to keep an open bottle chilled while sitting on the table. These also make great gifts for wine lovers! I also highly recommend the Vacu Vin Concerto wine saver system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be without it!, October 25, 2002

... After trying it out and being AMAZED with the results, I bought 2 more (full price). They are perfect for dining out on patio/decks, picnicing or when you need to chill wine in a hurry. They are especially helpful around the holidays, summertime and for dinner parties! They flatten out when not in use, so it doesn't take up much space in the freezer either.
