Editorial Reviews

Guy Buffet is one of America's most popular artists. He was born in Paris and spent much of his youth working in his parents' Paris restaurant. This wine cooler shows a band of waiters about to go forth and serve the public.

We've all experienced the annoyance of room-temperature liquids when you want them icy cold. This little sleeve cools bottles of wine or juice in about five minutes. The sleeve stores in the freezer, like most reusable ice packs--just pull it out, slip it over the bottle, and spend those five minutes admiring Guy Buffet's painting of overworked sommeliers that decorates the exterior of the sleeve. The inside diameter measures a bit less than 5 inches--perfect for champagne, sparkling cider, or your favorite Chardonnay. --Jill Lightner

Good one.

This thing works. It is the best wine cooler we have. It is cute, cheap and durable. Now that I have my own, I should get a stack to keep around as hostess gifts.

Keeps it cold

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.

Moderate Ice Wine Chiller

Reviewed by the8ofclubs, 2006-03-19

I really like the whole idea of the product and it is cute and lightweight and doesn't take up much room in the freezer. The downside is that it did not chill the wine rapidly (I did a test). In about 10 minutes the wine was cooler, but not cool enough. I'm planning to use them to keep already chilled wine cold, but was hoping to find something that would chill room temperature wine up fast.

Better than a ice bucket.

Very good for keeping wine chilled without taking up a lot of space. Especially good for going out to dinner when you bring your own wine.

The vacuvin wine chiller works as advertised and is a realy wine lover's aid when white wiine is desired but the bottle is not chilled. Using the vacuvin wine cooler within 5-10 minutes the wine is properly chilled.
