Chill Wine in an Instant

Cnet.com ran a feature in their Appliances and Kitchen Gadgets section today on a nifty little wine-related gadget. A few days ago I ran a piece on the magnet system that ages wine in a matter of minutes, well, this latest find apparently chills any bottle of wine instantly - as you pour it.

The Ravi Instant Wine Chiller looks a bit like a large pouring spout cum wine topper, but is fully equipped with cooling material that chills the wine on the way out of the bottle. Have you ever seen a freezer pack that keeps food cold for hours at a time? Well, the principle with the Wine Chiller is the same. It's stored inside your freezer, where the cooling materials freeze. The apparatus is made from stainless steel to ensure it doesn't taint the flavor of the wine.
