Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Water Chillers, Set of 2

 (3 customer reviews)

I love these! While I don't use them to chill a room-temperature bottle of water, (I don't find that to be as effective;) I do use them to keep an already chilled bottle of water cold longer. I am not a soda drinker; I am a bottled water drinker. When I leave the house, I grab water and, especially in the summer, the chillers really do work!

It's great, and it works on bottles of varying sizes, with the exception of the liter bottles of water. (I use my Vacu Vin wine chiller for that size.) The 24-oz. bottles of Aquafina seem perfect for this thing! A match made in water bottle heaven!

There are few other viable ways of cooling a bottle down quickly that are this effortless. Slide the sleeve on (stick in freezer or not), wait, cork, and drink. Besides this main feature, the chiller can serve two other purposes. First, after corking and pouring the first round of glasses, the chiller can serve in place of a more expensive metal bucket or crystal chiller. Second, the chiller is great for bring bottles of white wine to friends' homes that you want to share immediately. Many people start with whites and if you are bringing a room-temperature white, it's annoying having to wait for it to chill in the freezer. Those 15-30 minutes may see your bottle passed over and forgotten. But with the Rapid Ice chiller, you can arrive with a bottle that's ready to drink immediately, even if traveling to your friends' took a while.Get two in case you leave a chiller at your friend's as an unintended gift!

I can't drink my drinks fast because of my small stomach, before my drinks would usually get warm by the time i finish. This thing is great my drink stays ice cold for hours, i keep 4 or 5 in the freezer just in case somebody stops by.
