Claim:
A cooling device for holding a beverage receptacle, comprising: a container adapted to enable the beverage receptacle to be inserted at least partially therein, wherein said container is adapted such that when the beverage receptacle is placed in said cooling device, a space for storing ice particles in direct contact with the beverage receptacle is formed between the beverage receptacle and said container; a cap adapted to be substantially sealed onto said container, wherein said cap has an opening through which a neck of the beverage receptacle can be extended; a sealing member on said cap adapted to be pressed and sealed against a shoulder of the beverage receptacle when the beverage receptacle is placed in said cooling device; at least one support on the inside of said container for engaging the beverage receptacle in a predetermined position, wherein at least one of said at least one support is adapted to engage a portion of the beverage receptacle in a manner that substantially prevents the beverage receptacle from rotating inside said cooling device; and wherein said cooling device is adapted such that when said cap is substantially sealed onto said container, with the beverage receptacle placed in the predetermined position, said sealing member is substantially sealed against the shoulder of the beverage receptacle, and the beverage receptacle is prevented from being lifted in a manner that would allow the beverage receptacle to freely rotate inside said container, and the space is substantially sealed.
