And yet another GREAT review on Corkcicle

Wine Down Eugene

– Julia Crowley, EDN

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is right around the corner, our mail boxes will be stuffed full of national magazines advertising their most popular products.

From Pottery Barn to Toys R US, we’ll be inundated with the must-have products of 2011. While most people will give these magazines a quick scan then toss them into the recycle bin, I will be searching for the latest and greatest wine accessories.
Each year, I look forward to what I call “magazine mayhem.” Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, True Fabrications, Food and Wine Magazine, Oenophilia and Rhino Wine Gear are just a few of the many wine magazines that I’ve already received. I’ve already discovered some new, ingenious, state-of-the-art products that I know will be on my list to Santa, in addition to being on the list of gifts to give to my wine aficionado friends.

Another product I came across that really caught my attention is the Corkcicle. It may look like your bottle of wine is freezing from the inside out, but this icicle lookalike wine chiller that’s attached to an actual cork, will keep your white or red wine chilled to the perfect temperature, –or so they say. I haven’t used one yet, but believe me, this is one wine product I know will be under my Christmas tree this year. At $24.95 a piece, it’s going to be a unique gift for friends, too.

It is simply an icicle made from BPA-free plastic with a reusable freeze gel inside. It will keep wine at the perfect temperature so you don’t have to whine about it.

Experience wine at the perfect temperature every time

Introducing Corkcicle

Keeping your wines at just the right drinking temperatures—it’s a great dilemma. Too cold and it could mask the vintner’s uniquely crafted complexities. Too warm and the flavors may take a back seat to the alcohol. The answer to this perplexity? Corkcicle.
Placed inside the bottle, Corkcicle chills the wine from the inside.

Lose the bucket

Ice buckets. They drip. They’re messy. They’re expensive. They take up valuable space in your kitchen cabinets and/or freezer. And when it comes to keeping your wines at the perfect temperature, forget it. They make your wine too cold, masking the flavor. In short, ice buckets end up being a whole lot of effort for not a lot of reward—and don’t even get us started on wine sleeves and those frozen marble buckets. Why bother with the hassle when you can simply and effortlessly chill your wine from the inside with Corkcicle?

Use again and again

The beauty of Corkcicle lies in its easy-to-use design and simple care instructions
