 Do not buy this for wine that needs to be served chilledDec 26, 2006
By Jonathan Appleseed
The problem isn't with the unit taking a long time to chill a bottle of wine, the problem is that it doesn't chill a bottle of wine.
I put a bottle of room temperature Chablis in, and selected Chablis from the list of white wines. The unit said it would chill it to 46 degrees, and indicated that the starting temp was 77. That was my first concern, because the bottle was room temperature, and room temp was 70. The unit took more than 30 minutes to get the bottle to the desired temp (according to the units thermostats), but when I opened the bottle, the wine was probably a bit warmer than a pinot should be served at. I turned the unit off, placed the bottle back in (using the accompanying sleeve both time, btw), and this time the starting temp read 61 degrees. In other words, it disagreed with itself...
Soo...I chilled it again, for another 20 minutes, and upon reaching 46 (again) the bottle was no cooler than it was before.
I don't understand how these are selling. They are probably good for bringing room temp reds down to the appropriate serving level, but this simply does not chill white, rose, or sparkling wines to the desired temperature. So it's great, I suppose, for someone who doesn't have a wine refrigerator, or a cellar, but who wants to drink red wines at the appropriate temperature. It's terrible for anything other than that.
This is as disappointed as I've ever been with a product before.

This product is horrible!!!Sep 17, 2007
By Laura Davis
Basically, it is as bad as everyone says and then some. After reading the negative reviews I still decided to try for myself. I took an empty wine bottle and filled it with water. I turned on the machine and set it to a low setting of 54 degrees. The temperature gage in the unit said it was currently at 80 degrees. Then I placed two different thermomiter probes in the water. Both read 68 degrees. When the unit reached 54 degrees the probles read 66 degrees. I did notice that the bottom of the bottle was very cold though and thus I poured a few glasses and tested each glass. The water that was in the bottom of the bottle was noticeable colder but still only around 64 degrees. So basically, not only does the top part of the bottle not chill, but the temperature gage is totally off on all parts. It must just register the temperature of the outside of the part of the bottle that is immersed, which is totally usless.
Too bad there is not a way to give zero stars.

Didn't work as advertisedJan 02, 2007
By Frank M. Davis
Got one as a Christmas present - great concept, but the performance falls well short of the promise.
As another reviewer noted, wine from my wine fridge (56 deg.) registered as 74 deg. when placed into the unit; wine at room temp (72 deg.) regularly registered 78 deg. or so. Although the unit ran through it's cycle and indicated wine had been chilled to the proper temperature it never was. In fact, if you put the bottle back into the unit immediately and started it again it would register a temperature about 10 degrees warmer than it had indicated just seconds earlier.
I tried about half-a-dozen times over a couple days, but it never worked properly.
We returned the unit to the store for credit.

 A well thought out designNov 21, 2006
By Rogelio Medina
I had been looking for a wine chiller that didn't require the addition of ice or water and that included some sort of automatic listing of wine temps...well, i found it. It was easy to use and my pinot noir came at the perfect temperature. I also tried it with some Asti and it cooled that down to a nice chilly temp. It recycles every time that the temp drops more than 3-5 degrees. My only complaint is that some of the lower temps take a long time to cool, otherwise, this is a great product!

Not about efficiency, it's about maintaining the ideal temperatureJan 07, 2007
By M. Watkins
Got it as a gift for Xmas, and it's been by my side ever since, even bringing it on a road trip for New Year's! Its value is not its cooling efficiency; I'm not going to put a room temperature bottle of cava in the thing and expect it to get cold quickly. I'll still put that bottle in the freezer for a quick chill.
Instead, the value of this machine is that it finds and maintains the wine's OPTIMUM temperature it within a narrow band. Choose your wine (though the library is not comprehensive, you can always find an appropriate facsimilie), and it will get cooler until it reaches your setting's temperature. If you want white or sparkling wine, chill it first in the fridge (or freezer if you're in a rush), then plunk it in there and let if find the ideal temperature.
It's a fun, simple, and wine-enhancing gift. The difference in temperature makes a big difference in the pleasure of enjoying wine.
