What is a Wine Cooler?

A wine cooler is an in-home wine accessory that chills bottles of wine or keeps them cool for your enjoyment after refrigeration. While some people know the term as a reference to a spritzer-style drink--it's that, too--these wine coolers are made to enhance your wine-drinking experience in the moment.

• The best wine cooler for you is one that you'll use frequently, so consider your tasting or entertaining style.
 
• In some homes, this may mean choosing two kinds. One might be used at the table, while another is perfect for when you may want to present several bottles at once, like a dinner party or upscale barbecue.
• A tabletop cooler is a slim cylinder that fits one bottle of wine. The insulated cooler keeps the wine at the temperature you prefer. These styles are best for wines that you take out of your wine refrigerator and place in the cooler.
• A bucket chiller or cooler is a style of tub that features a flat bottom and wide top opening. While some of these may feature insulated walls, like the tabletop style, you may put ice in bucket styles for additional chilling. You can use this style for wines at room temperature as well as those from the fridge.

Who Needs a Wine Cooler?

Anyone who likes wine can use a wine cooler. These items are essential in homes where you frequently pair a bottle with dinner, enjoy wine with friends after work or on weekends or host tastings at your place.

• Get creative with your cooler. If you have a pool, use the tabletop style as a poolside caddy that keeps bottles chilled under an umbrella. For outdoor dining, keep the bottle refrigerated until it's time to serve and then place it on a table near other outdoor entertaining essentials, like a stack of plates and cups or a napkin holder.
• Give one as a gift to a friend who loves wine just like you do. For a milestone event like a wedding or important anniversary, treat them to the best wine cooler you can find and add a bottle or two to make it a complete gift. For housewarmings, birthdays, holidays or other events, you can bring them a simple style to show them you care.
• Anyone who loves monogramming needs a wine cooler with their initials to round out a collection of fine home essentials and accessories. Treat yourself today.

With so many features and styles to shop, finding your best wine cooler is simply a matter of picking your favorite.
