Product description
The Vacu Vin Elegant Wine Cooler - Black
The Elegant Wine Cooler is an adaption of Vacu Vin’s original Rapid Ice collection. In addition to the chilling sleeve, the product also features a rigid black outer shell that looks highly attractive on the tabletop. The cooling element contains 6 pockets of specifically-formulated, non-toxic gel that expand when placed in a freezer for a period of 6 hours or more (it will lie flat, so only requires minimal space). Upon removal, the Rapid Ice sleeve is inserted into the rigid outer shell via its removable base. Once the wine bottle is placed within the outer shell - and is in contact with the cooling element - its contents will then be chilled within 5 minutes. The wine will then remain cold for hours thereafter. Multiple polyester foil layers and foam pouches within the chilling sleeve ensure that the temperature is retained.
The award-winning cooling element is both flexible and virtually unbreakable. It is also lightweight and easy to transport for use at parties, picnics, barbecues, on holiday etc (without the outer shell). Once used, simply return the item to the freezer for subsequent re-application to the outer shell. The Elegant Wine Cooler is also available as part of the Vacu Vin Wine Set.

After 20mins sip some of the wine room temperature. Shame
On the other hand the very bottom of the wine is about 10degree cooler. So half the wine is somewhat chilled and the other stays at room temperature.
Incidentally if you put a bottle in freezer packed around it ice, it couldn’t chill the bottle in 5mins so I’m not sure how they make this statement, below. Maybe they are in Iceland and room temperature is already chilled enough.
“Chills wine within 5 minutes and keeps it cold for hours - without the need for a refrigerator or ice.”
On the premise that if you use refrigerator to chill the bottle first then use this device to help keep the bottle on the table and to keep it from warming up to fast then maybe it worth it. They get one star the statement above though.
We put the sleeve in the fridge for the recommended amount of time, installed it and then placed a roon-temp bottle of wine in it. The first thing we noticed that the top quarter of the bottle was sticking out of the sleeve and therefore not getting cold. The ad said it would chill a bottle of wine in 5 minutes. We waited about 10 or 15, I think,
The bottom of the bottle was cold to the touch, but the wine was at most "slightly chilled". I was over it, for sure. But my wife liked it and wanted to give it another try. Since then she has used it a couple of more times where she left the bottle in a much longer time. She told me the wine got very cold that time, but as the sleeve began to melt the wine warmed up.
First of all if it's going to take 30 minutes to really get cold then we already have something that will do that; it's called our freezer. Second, if it's not going to at least "keep it" cold once it finally gets it cold then for me this is a total bust.

Have used the freezable wine cooler in the past with great success to quickly chill wine bottles or keep them cool for picnics etc. Also works reasonably well on a can of beer. The plastic bottle cooler cover is solid enough and has a nice matte finish. It doesn’t look cheap but nor does it feel / appear premium.
The cover is by no means essential but it does look better than the bare cooler on the wine bottle and, handily, it stops the condensation dripping down the bottle onto the table.
Easy to use (bottom twists off easily and you pop the chilled sleeve in), possibly too tight for broader sparkling wine bottles (I’ve not tried though).
All in all it seems a good little buy for the cash.
El material es plástico duro, normal y corriente, pero con un acabado "bonito". Vamos, que no se ve plástico barato, se le ve con buen acabado y calidad. Por dentro tiene el típico gel que se enfría sin llegar a congelarse y que mantiene muy bien la temperatura. Se desenrosca por la base y por ahí se introduce el bloque de hielo. Busqué recambios pero no encontré, aunque no sé si sirven cualquiera de los geles que se venden aquí de la misma marca (no indica que sean recambios... por lo que no sé si el tamaño ajusta).
Las botellas entran bastante bien, por lo que sacarlas para servir es fácil y cómodo. Dejo un par de fotos de una botella estándar para que se vea mejor. Habrá que ver en verano cómo aguanta. Lo que sí diría es que no es un enfriador como tal sino para mantener la temperatura. No va a hacer milagros aunque sí bajará unos grados la temperatura, pero dudo que sea válido para enfriar una botella que esté a temperatura ambiente en verano.
En definitiva, lo recomiendo sin duda alguna. Tanto que después de comprarlo como regalo compré otro para mí. Con eso digo todo. Un saludo.
