Customer Reviews
“ I would say you need 45 minutes to hour to get wine to the proper temperature if you are putting a bottle in at room temperature (72-75 degrees). ”

The problem isn't with the unit taking a long time to chill a bottle of wine, the problem is that it doesn't chill a bottle of wine.
I put a bottle of room temperature Chablis in, and selected Chablis from the list of white wines. The unit said it would chill it to 46 degrees, and indicated that the starting temp was 77. That was my first concern, because the bottle was room temperature, and room temp was 70. The unit took more than 30 minutes to get the bottle to the desired temp (according to the units thermostats), but when I opened the bottle, the wine was probably a bit warmer than a pinot should be served at. I turned the unit off, placed the bottle back in (using the accompanying sleeve both time, btw), and this time the starting temp read 61 degrees. In other words, it disagreed with itself...
Soo...I chilled it again, for another 20 minutes, and upon reaching 46 (again) the bottle was no cooler than it was before.
I don't understand how these are selling. They are probably good for bringing room temp reds down to the appropriate serving level, but this simply does not chill white, rose, or sparkling wines to the desired temperature. So it's great, I suppose, for someone who doesn't have a wine refrigerator, or a cellar, but who wants to drink red wines at the appropriate temperature. It's terrible for anything other than that.
This is as disappointed as I've ever been with a product before.

Basically, it is as bad as everyone says and then some. After reading the negative reviews I still decided to try for myself. I took an empty wine bottle and filled it with water. I turned on the machine and set it to a low setting of 54 degrees. The temperature gage in the unit said it was currently at 80 degrees. Then I placed two different thermomiter probes in the water. Both read 68 degrees. When the unit reached 54 degrees the probles read 66 degrees. I did notice that the bottom of the bottle was very cold though and thus I poured a few glasses and tested each glass. The water that was in the bottom of the bottle was noticeable colder but still only around 64 degrees. So basically, not only does the top part of the bottle not chill, but the temperature gage is totally off on all parts. It must just register the temperature of the outside of the part of the bottle that is immersed, which is totally usless.
Too bad there is not a way to give zero stars.

I had been looking for a wine chiller that didn't require the addition of ice or water and that included some sort of automatic listing of wine temps...well, i found it. It was easy to use and my pinot noir came at the perfect temperature. I also tried it with some Asti and it cooled that down to a nice chilly temp. It recycles every time that the temp drops more than 3-5 degrees. My only complaint is that some of the lower temps take a long time to cool, otherwise, this is a great product!

The cooler works fine but it's not something you don't put on the counter and talk around it. Others wise it works fine.

Someone recommended this to my wife. What a waste. A cold bottle from the frig actually will warm up in this.

Pinot served at the right temperature. Delightful!
I was in the market for a wine chiller that didn't need ice or water and that also had an automatic listing of various wine temperature presets. This is it! Read more

Chills wine, but it is noisy
This item has received a wide range of scores - quite a few 4 & 5 star, but lots of 1-star. Many of the latter reviews say that it simply doesn't chill at all well; others say it... Read more

POS --- DO NOT BUY
