Not What it Seems!

 
1.0

Pros

  • None

Cons

  • Cheap
  • Not Big Enough

Best Uses

  • Forearm Chilling

The picture leads you to believe that the product is an insulated metal container. Instead, it is a cheap, plastic, gel-filled, set of linked pouches. It is too small to use with most bottles plus it does not "chill" wine, but rather it sticks to the bottle making it bulky and hard to handle. [...]

Good to KEEP it cool

 
3.0

Pros

  • Keeps wine cool

Cons

  • Not good for initial cool

Best Uses

  • Keeping chilled wine cool

Use to keep already chilled wine cool. Don't expect it to cool a wine properly from ambient temperature.

Pros

  • Not Big Enough

Best Uses

  • Single Bottle

This wine chiller was a pleasant surprise. It fits most bottles (very tight on Prosecco bottles) and chills within about 10 minutes, especially if the bottle is in the refrigerator.

Pros

  • Very compact

Cons

  • Not Big Enough
  • Not cold enough

Best Uses

  • One bottle

I saw this online and was excited that it was on sale to boot! It had been in my freezer and after putting it over the bottle for 7 minutes, the wine was still not cold. I would not recommend purchasing this if you are looking to chill a bottle immediately. It also did not stay frozen once removed, either, for longer than 5 minutes.

Slightly Disappointing

 
3.0

Pros

  • Portable
  • Easy To Clean

Cons

  • Not quite cold enough

Best Uses

  • Single Bottle

The 5-minute goal for chilling wine to a drinking temperature is optimistic in my view. We still have better results setting a bottle in our refrigerator's automatic ice bin for the same amount of time. However, if we're entertaining in another room, it is handy to instead bring a bottle wrapped in the chiller.

I use it when I buy wine I want to try as soon as I get home. I use it when I entertain and keep it at the table to keep wine cool. It fits easily into my side-by-side refrigerator freezer section so it is ready for immediate use. This is a much appreciated gift.

I use this for wine I want to try as soon as I get home. I love the design, use it when I entertain and keep it on at the table to keep my wine cool. It doesn't take up a lot of space in the freezer part of my side-by-side refrigerator. It is a much appreciated gift!

Cons

Best Uses

We have other chillers: terra cotta,ceramic. However they take up too much room in the freezer and we forget to prechill them. These are compact and kept in the freezer. We now give them as gifts with a bottle of wine.
