Product Description Keep your wine cool with this attractive Rapid Ice wine cooler. 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. The art work on the cooler is done by Guy Buffet, one of Americas most popular artists. Made in the Netherlands by Vacu Vin. 6.5 inches
Amazon.com Review Store this reusable cooler in the freezer at all times and it is always ready to pull out and chill bottles of wine or sparkling water. The cooler is made of a durable plastic and has six "pockets" that are filled with Rapid Ice solution, which freezes quickly. The sleeve lays flat in the freezer, taking up little storage space, and then removes to slip over a bottle. Drinks chill to a palatable temperature in just five minutes and remain cool for hours on end. The exterior design on the cooler reproduces a charming Guy Buffet painting of an outdoor French cafe scene with his familiar and beloved bow-tie- and apron-clad waiters serving wine and playing instruments to the patrons. This sleeve-style cooler is well-suited for more casual affairs when pulling out a sterling silver wine bucket seems too excessive. Because the cooler is unbreakable, it is great for dining al fresco, whether on a deck or at the beach. --Cristina Vaamonde

Amazingly Helpful Device September 25, 2008 Fran (Evanston, IL USA) We have several of these and love them. They keep wine cold a long time and are so easy to use. The gel hold the chill a long time and there is no drippy condensation to deal with. A friend admired ours so we bought her this one as a gift.
The manufacturer claims that the sleeve will actually chill wine. I wouldn't count on it and we don't use ours for that purpose. But for keeping wine cold without the mess of an ice bucket, these cannot be topped.
Disappointing Vacu Vins July 29, 2008 Mia Angelo (Boise, ID USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These wine jackets work for only a short period of time. You must replace them frequently to keep a bottle of wine cool...or...drink quickly.
Would recommend to others June 16, 2008 Eliezer Fried (Airmont, NY USA) Works great!! Just as it is described. Fast shipping & would order again from this site.
Fast Chill for Wine January 30, 2008 Thomas Bullermann (New Berlin, WI USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Need to chill down a bottle of wine really quick? This is the way to do it. Take it out of the freezer, cover the bottle, and then return to the freezer after you're done. What could be easier. Chills down a bottle of wine in 5 minutes quickly.
