This Trick is Hands Down the Fastest Way to Chill a Bottle of Wine

15 minutes before your party guests arrive, you realize you forgot to chill the wine. Should you put it on ice or toss it in the freezer? It turns out that neither is quite right. Read on to find the answer.

STEP 1: Place the wine bottle in a tall container, preferably insulated like the one above. The double-walled stainless steel wine cooler by ENOLUXE (available on Amazon) is your best bet for keeping wine cold and it also looks great on the table.

STEP 2: Place the wine bottle inside the wine cooler or other container, and fill in the empty space on the sides with ice cubes. Make sure you put the wine bottle in before adding the ice, so that the ice comes all the way up the sides of the cooler.

STEP 3: Here's the secret: pour water in the cooler along with the ice. Surprisingly, a 50/50 mix of ice and water will chill the wine more quickly than ice alone, and far more quickly than putting the wine in the freezer (plus, if you are the forgetful type, you won't be left with frozen wine!)

STEP 4: Let the bottle sit in ice water for 15-30 minutes until it reaches proper drinking temperature.

STEP 5: Party time! The Insulated Stainless Steel Wine Cooler by ENOLUXE is an elegant way to present the bottle to your guests, and keep it cold longer.
