Wine Chiller Stick with Aerating Pourer, Stainless Steel Cooling Rod

A stainless steel chiller stick that lives in your freezer and goes straight into an open bottle, so the wine stays cold on the table and you pour it through the aerating spout on top. Freeze the rod for a few hours, push it into the bottle, and the cold works from the inside out while the bottle sits in front of you.

No ice bucket dripping onto the tablecloth. No ice cubes thinning out the glass. No getting up to put the bottle back in the fridge between pours. Freeze it, slide it in, and pour.

Cold from the inside, not from a bucket of ice

You already know a chilled white or rosé tastes best in the first glass. The trouble is the second and third, because a bottle standing on the dinner table loses its chill long before the bottle is finished, and the usual fixes all cost you something.

An ice bucket takes up half the table and leaves a ring of water wherever the bottle goes. Ice in the glass waters the wine down. This rod has a coolant sealed inside it, so it freezes and holds the cold for you. Leave it in the freezer for at least four hours, push it into the bottle, and the wine around it cools in about 15 to 20 minutes, with nothing melting into it.

Pour through it without taking it out

The top of the chiller is a pourer. A clear acrylic spout with a slanted lip sits above a black ribbed seal that pushes snugly into the neck of the bottle. Below the seal, a short clear section works as an aerator as the wine passes through it on the way out.

So once it is in, it stays in. Tip the bottle and pour straight through the spout, then stand it back up, and the seal keeps the bottle closed between glasses. The pourer screws off the top of the rod, which means only the steel rod goes into the freezer while the pourer waits in a drawer.

A finish for every bar cart

The rod comes in four finishes, and the clear spout and black seal are the same on all of them. Silver is polished stainless steel that catches the light. Black is a soft satin charcoal that suits dark wood and a modern kitchen. Gold is a warm satin gold that sits well beside brass and candlelight. Rainbow is a polished iridescent finish that runs from bronze near the pourer through rose and violet to blue at the tip.

At 12.6 inches long it is about as long as a wine bottle is tall, with 7.5 inches of steel that hangs down inside the bottle. It fits standard wine bottles, and a bottle at least 10.1 inches tall gives it room to sit properly. The bottle you open can stay on the table for the whole meal instead of going back and forth to the fridge.
