 Keeps it cool January 6, 2008

I wouldn't expect this to really chill a bottle of wine, but it's sure handy to put over a bottle while it sits on the table. It keeps the wine chilled while sitting out.
 GREAT FOR KEEPING WINE COOL ON THE BUS December 26, 2007
Chanfrancisco (San Francisco, CA United States)
Tired of showing up at that dinner party with warm wine because your city's public transit takes forever to get you there? Want your wine to stay cool on the bus ride across town? Well, this thing will fill the bill. Take your chilled bottle of wine out of the refrigerator and slip it in this handy dandy freezer-cooled wine cooler collar, and you're good to go no matter how long it takes you and your bus to get there. Right before you hand the wine to your hostess, slip the Rapid Ice Cooler off the bottle and stick it in your sport coat pocket or back pack. No more having to pay mom-and-pop prices for chilled white wine! I have the chrome colored version, but these grape colored version would look better sitting on the dinner table.

Here's an important thing to know about wine:
Serving Temperature is one of the factors that affects the taste of wine and
is under your control. Tools that help you control serving temperatuer add to
your pleasure. Here are two ways to use this tool-
*You put it around a cold bottle to keep it that way. For instance, if you're carrying
white wine to a BYOB or a picnic, the sleeve will keep it at serving temperature.
It seems to last for about an hour and a half if it's wrapped with something insulating.
*You put it over a room-temperature bottle of red wine to cool it down to a proper
serving temp of around 60-65F.
At this low price, anyone who takes bottles of wine to friends or to restaurants should
have one.

 better than nothing November 30, 2007

If you have no lead time, this is better than nothing. In the past I have resorted to keeping a bottle in a large Pyrex bowl with water and ice. This product is much better than that approach. I keep it in the freezer all the time, and I bring it out when I want a white on the spur of the moment. I agree that it will not keep wine cold for three hours, even if you started with a very well chilled bottle. It is nice, though, for covering up a label if it is ugly or shows that you bought cheap wine!
A lot for a reasonable cost November 18, 2007

This product does a good job if you need to quickly chill a bottle of wine. I've seen this product in wine stores for a lot more money. Great for putting in a picnic basket with a bottle of wine for a present, or carry with you on your own picnic.
