Wine. OMT likey. I offer Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C (this last one is really taking liberties when I say “wine”).
I prefer whites, but will drink a sweet red. Dry reds not so much. They make my face squinch in unflattering spasms.
When I enjoy my whites, I like them chilled properly. To be honest, I love them a bit on the frigid side. I blame my heating-seeking latitude and longitude of 29° 25′ 26″ N/98° 29′ 35″ W. Translation: TEXAS! Because of our extreme heat in summertime, properly chilled wine in Texas can seem tepid at best.
So what’s a chilled wine loving gal to do?
So. Much. This.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
It’s not the most gorgeous presentation, but from everything I’ve read about it, it gets the job done and then some. Better to work good than look good, I say.
As I researched products I could stand behind that could keep white wines chilled, I also came across the popular “icicle” type products that insert into wine bottles. I honestly thought I might go with one of them. They looked inciting, and I really wanted to recommend one, yet I have issues with using plastic in direct contact with any food or drink I consume. So, I stuck with a product that #1: stays outta my drank and #2: can double as a sports ice-pack for my wine-induced injuries.
CALM DOWN! Not really. Everyone knows I don’t need wine to get injured. Klutz be my name.
Still, I like a product that can do more than one thing, don’t you? More bang for your buck, baby!
If you’re looking for a Champagne chiller, AKA Exhibit C, Vacu Vin has a product for that as well.
