The Corkcicle

While this post does not suggest a wine for everyone to enjoy, it is showcasing an amazing Christmas gift that I got this year ... the Corkcicle! This is an ingenious idea, and one that I am going to purchase again and again for those friends/family of mine that love wine and any gadgets.

The Corkcicle helps to keep your wine temperature controlled, and cool. Its length is the size of the wine bottle, and the top looks like a cork, the rest of it like an icicle (hence the name). In order to use this, you freeze the Corkcicle and when you have a bottle of wine that you want to cool, or keep cool, you just insert the Corkcicle into your wine bottle, and voila, it cools to the perfect temperature! Another bonus, is that while it is cooling the wine, no water is being given off and the wine does not end up watery and diluted.

As a patio-loving Canadian, I am beyond excited to use this in the summer months. There is really nothing better than a bottle of delicious white wine, barbequed food and some friends on a balcony or in the backyard.

The Corkcicle retails for under $25.00 and I strongly suggest that everyone grabs one of these before patio season begins!
