Rapid Ice

A wine cooler brand (also Rapid Ice Cooler) in the form of a 17-centimetre-high cuff (picture left), which is equipped with six elongated pads on the inside. The pads contain a completely non-toxic gel that does not freeze even at temperatures as low as minus 40 °Celsius, but remains pliable. Before use, the cuff is placed in the freezer for at least six hours. It is then pulled over the wine bottle as needed and cools down to an optimal wine temperature (up to 10 °Celsius colder) within five to a maximum of ten minutes. If the cuff is left on the bottle, the effect lasts up to several hours. There are different sized versions for slim wine bottles and also for more bulbous sparkling wine bottles. The Canadian product Ravi Wine Chiller offers a completely different technique and, above all, a much faster form of wine cooling. On this topic, see also Wine cooling and wine enjoyment.
