Product review (1 stars): Mediocre At Best
Not at all as other reviewers have stated.  This is the first time I have ever used a wine chiller and overall a disappointing experience. Well, the first thing I learned is that don't put this into a full bottle of wine; it immediately overflowed!  I guess I should have expected this but there were no instructions telling me one way or another.  Although I froze the rod for two days before I used it and waiting at least 10 minutes before pouring my first glass, the Sauvignon Blanc was barely room temperature.  By the time I poured the next glass the wine was the same temperature as the ambient air!  I wanted this to work but it disappointed all the way!
I will make a correction here: It does say on the side of the box to reduce the contents before inserting the rod; just another step adding to what should be an enjoyable experience. My mistake but it doesn't excuse the mediocre reason for its existence--to chill wine! I have used a chill sleeve prior to this that worked many times better than this product, so I will probably go back to using it and forget about the empty promises of this product!
