Vacu Vin Champagne Cooler Sleeve – Flexible Black Bottle Chiller for Sparkling Wine – Rapid Cooling Ice Sleeve – Reusable, Portable & Stylish – Fits Standard Champagne Bottles

This is nice. Better than a wet, slippery bottle grabbed out of an ice bucket. Got the gold colored one as it befits the grandeur of champagne. Fits a bottle of champers but too big for white wine. It will keep your pre-chilled champs cold much longer...good for traveling or picnics. Or even in your garden if you don't want to get up and move. I suggest a champagne stopper to keep the bubbles where they should be...inside the bottle until they escape into your mouth. Many kinds of stoppers available on Amazon but the black one that twists will keep the contents from spilling and keep the bubbles fresher. However, it takes more energy to use that one...twisting on and off...so get the silver push on type that locks around the lip if you are not anticipating leftovers...an unlikely scenario. Put sleeve in freezer to chill the gel contents. The sleeve is open on the bottom. Pick the bottle up by the neck or the bottle will fall out the bottom and that horrendous faux pas is recognized as a tragedy in all four corners of the world....what with champagne bottles slipping down, crashing to the floor and causing gasps in everyone jumping up to save it. Such energy wasted. I am getting another one in another color. One bottle of champagne is NEVER enough. No matter who or how many.

These frozen Vacu Vin "jackets" for your champagne won't chill a warm bottle adequately, IMO, but they do a great job of keeping a chilled bottle nice and cold as you drink it. Nobody wants warm champagne and no messy ice bucket is necessary. If you're starting with room temperature champagne, put the bottle in the freezer for ONE hour to chill. Pay attention; set a timer. You don't want a mess in your freezer! You can then take the bottle out of the freezer, slip the Vacu Vin jacket onto it and enjoy well chilled glasses of bubbly for as long as the bottle lasts. We keep a couple of these coolers in the freezer in case a second bottle is necessary.

This works great if you're sitting outside and can't or don't want to run into the frig to grab your bubbly bottle but certainly not meant for really lengthy periods and certainly not as cold as the frig gets a bottle. Make sure your bottle is chilled before putting into chilled cooler if you like your bubbly cold.

This works with Champagne and wine bottles! The ones that have the Velcro wrap does not work with Champagne bottles. I returned the Velcro purchase and purchased this one. No problems whatsoever. You won’t go wrong buying this.

This is just perfect for taking a bottle of Prosecco out onto the porch to enjoy with a friend. It keeps the bottle cool for some time, looks good, and goes right back into the freezer afterwards. No icy bucket mess.

No better than a similar product I bought this to replace. I have not tried to test whether the statement that " Chills champagne within 5 minutes and keeps it cold for hours - without the need for a refrigerator or ice bucket" because I use it as a chill preserver, not as a chiller, but I think this statement is far fetched especially if the bottle has been sitting at room temperature. Therefore, I chill my bottles in the fridge before sliding this thing on.

The best on the go champagne chiller. Makes a great gift.

I use these for rapid chilling my fresh goats milk. They are the perfect size to fit around a 1 quart mason jar. I tried the wine bottle size but the do not fit a quart mason jar. By using two of them, one right after the other, I can bring the milk from 90 degrees to 38 degrees in less than 30 minutes. I know this isn’t the intended use, but if you have a small herd of dairy goats it works great.
