Amazon.com Review

Capable of chilling a bottle of wine (or other beverage) in 5 minutes and then keeping it chilled for hours, this sleeve replaces an ice bucket and doesn't require a bar towel to dry the bottle. The sleeve has six pockets containing a special liquid that freezes solid when placed in a refrigerator's freezer for several hours. The sleeve then slips over a standard 750-milliliter wine bottle. Flexible and virtually unbreakable, the sleeve is chrome-colored so it looks good at the table. Storing it in the freezer keeps it ready for use at any time. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Chilling wine quickly and keeping it cold has always been a problem - until now!The amazing Rapid Ice is best described as a super cold flexible ice jacket which, when taken from the freezer, simply slips over the bottle of wine, chilling it in just 5 minutes and keeping it ice cold for hours. The secret to Rapid Ice is a very special non-toxic gel, multiple foil layers and foam pouches to maximize insulation. It is reusable and unbreakable. Made in the Netherlands by VacuVin. 7 inches

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.
