Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sleek and effective, this simple electric device chills a bottle of wine or champagne in as little as four minutes. Simply place a bottle into the bucket, dump in one or two trays of ice cubes, add tap water to the bottle's shoulder, plug in the AC adapter (included), and set the timer, which runs from 5 to 20 minutes. When the wine is chilled (a guide for optimal temperatures of various wines is included), the chiller can be unplugged and taken to the table as an ordinary ice bucket would be to keep wine at the proper temperature. (For a too-cold red wine, using warm water instead of ice and water will bring it up to the proper drinking temperature.) Made of gleaming black plastic, the chiller stands 12-3/4 inches tall and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars No more freezer explosions, December 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: VinChilla 107900 Single Bottle Electric Wine Chiller, Black (Kitchen)

Have you ever tried to chill some champagne or sparkling water fast by sticking it in the freezer for a few moments, forgotten it, had it ruined or had it explode? If picking out shards of frozen glass from your freezer instead of enjoying a perfectly chilled beverage is your idea of a good time, then pass on this product.

Sure, an icebucket does the job too. BUT if there are times you find yourself ready to drink a bottle of white wine or a bottle of champagne(perhaps one brought by a guest) and the wine or the champagne you have is not chilled, AND you don't have tons of ice in your freezer, AND you're not in the mood to run out to the 7/11 for a sack of ice, pull out the Vinchilla. Just throw in a tray or two of ice cubes, add water, turn the dial and watch the gentle swirling of the water as it chills your bottle of bubbly to perfection.

Remember, wine experts agree: it is NOT good for wine to sit in the refrigerator for a long time. A quick chill is the best way to preserve its integrity.

Half the people on my Christmas list are getting this as a present. The price on this can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wine Lover, July 9, 2004

This review is from: VinChilla 107900 Single Bottle Electric Wine Chiller, Black (Kitchen)

Despite what others have said about this not "feeling like a quality product" or it "takes a whole 20 minutes to chill a bottle of wine", this product is awesome! You cannot chill a room temperature bottle of wine in the freezer for less than 30-40 minutes and in the refrigerator it can take over 3 hours. If this chiller does take the entire 20 minutes to chill a bottle, it's well worth it because it's the perfect temperature. The chiller works great for merlots or cabs too -- takes five minutes to chill it to the proper 57-58 degrees. I would definitely recommend this product...you cannot go wrong!!

I bought the vin chilla as a gift for my wife and there hasnt been a day gone by that it hasnt seen some use. Not only does it chill the wine to perfection but it also can be sued to chill canned drinks such as beer and soda, and it even fits champagne bottles not that I have had cause to use it for that. This thing also can be used to raise the temperature of bottles of red wine that have gotten cold, or take the bite out of soda if your kids have sensitive teeth like mine.

A brilliant gift and well worthwhile investment. If you know a wine buff which would you prefer to buy them a bottle that goes immediatly or to buy them something they cxan use over and over again. ...

My advice buy it.
