Slightly Disappointing

 
3.0

Pros

  • Easy To Clean
  • Portable

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 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!

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.

works ok for chilling a bottle of wine, but best for keeping a bottle of chilled winer cold when you are outside. we use it when sailing, just keep in the ice chest or freezer, and then put an opened bottle of wine in while you enjopy the day

Pros

  • Good price
  • Good Insulation

Cons

  • Looks cheaper than photo

Best Uses

  • Single Bottle

The product image makes it look like hammered metal, but it's just a plastic/foil type material that collapses for use in the freezer. Does what we wanted it to do, but not quite the look we thought.

We already owned this product, but when entertaining and enjoying more than one bottle of wine, it is nice to have additional coolers in the freezer.

Pros

  • Attractive Design
  • Also for injuries
  • Good Insulation

Cons

  • Not Big Enough

Best Uses

  • Single Bottle

A friend brought over a chilled rose on a hot summer night, and I tried to steal her VaciVin. I ordered 8 (2 for me, 2 for stocking stuffers for mom and sister, 4 for little gifts this fall/last minute holiday). I have already given away 3, used 2 for myself, and sliced 1 as an ice pack for an ankle injury (not a recommended use. But in an emergency...just don't cut the ice cells, which anyone should know). I will now order some more as replacements and a few of the champagne bottle size. This is not the most exciting gift to open, but it is really useful, and if you put it on a nice wine, it's even better. A great gift!

Pros

  • Good Insulation
  • Attractive Design

Cons

  • Must remove wine to pour

Best Uses

  • Single Bottle

It is not as sturdy a product as you would expect but it actually works very well. You can keep it in your freezer at all times so it is always ready. It takes up very little space when folded flat. The only negative is that it is difficult to grasp the wine bottle with it on, so you must remove the bottle each time you pour it.

Chills a warm bottle of wine or water, even a can of soda in no time at all. Now we keep one in the freezer all the time. Wonderful idea. Couldn't be simpler!
