Active Wine and Champagne Cooling Explained
Active cooling is a process that uses innovative gel cooling technology to chill bottles quickly and keep them at the right serving temperature for hours, without ice. This technology is applied in Vacu Vin’s Flexible Coolers. Inside each cooler is a layer of innovative cooling gel that freezes solid and stores cold energy. Once placed around a bottle, the gel efficiently and evenly draws out heat, lowering the temperature in a short amount of time.
This method works differently from a traditional cooler or ice bucket. Instead of only slowing down how fast the drink warms up, innovative gel cooling technology actively lowers the temperature. It is especially useful when a bottle has not been pre-chilled, when wine or champagne needs to be cooled quickly, or when you want to avoid melting ice and excess water.
Step 1: Freeze the coolers
Place both coolers in the freezer for at least 6 hours before use. This ensures the innovative gel cooling technology is fully frozen and able to store maximum cold energy.
Step 2: Choose the right sleeve
Use the wine cooler sleeve for most standard 750 ml wine bottles. Use the champagne cooler sleeve for champagne and sparkling wine bottles, as its shape is designed to fit these bottles perfectly.
Step 3: Cool your bottle
Within about 15 minutes the innovative gel cooling technology lowers the temperature of the bottle to its ideal serving range. Each cooler keeps the bottle cold for hours, even in warmer surroundings. For multiple bottles, or to keep drinks cold longer, keep extra coolers in the freezer and switch them when needed.
Step 4: Store for next use
After use, rinse or wipe the cooler and place it back in the freezer so it is always ready for the next bottle.
Active cooling with innovative gel cooling technology makes it possible to chill wine, champagne or sparkling wine quickly, serve it at the right temperature, and enjoy it longer without the inconvenience of ice, water or mess. Perfect for outdoor dining, garden parties, picnics or boat trips where a fridge or ice bucket is not practical.
