Ice cubes in a good white is a crime most of us have committed. Here is the alibi.
Warm afternoon, cold bottle, and by the second glass you are fishing two cubes out of the freezer tray. Half the glass turns into water, and the bottle on the table goes warm anyway.
The rug, the cheese, and a bottle that stayed cold without a single cube.
Everyone at the table has a method, and every method has a catch. Cubes water it down. The run to the fridge means you miss the bit everyone laughs at. The ice bucket takes half the table and leaves the label floating. The sleeve from the drawer is cold for one glass.
The ice was never the wrong idea. It was just working on the wrong side of the glass.
Why the bottle goes warm, and what fixes it
Every one of those methods cools from the outside in. Cold has to fight its way through the glass before the wine feels it, and out on the deck the sun is winning. Cold that starts inside the wine has no distance to travel.
A frozen rod of 304 food-grade stainless steel goes down the neck of the bottle you have already opened. It brings the wine to serving temperature in 10 to 15 minutes and holds it there for up to three hours, and the spout on top airs each pour without dripping. Nothing melts into the glass. That is the alibi. Lindner & Co make it.
It lives in the freezer. About an hour the first time, then it is just there.
Effortless, in three moves
- FreezerAbout an hour the first time. Most people leave it in the door for good, so it is ready when a bottle gets opened.
- Into the open bottlePour the first glass, slide the rod in. Serving temperature in 10 to 15 minutes, then it holds for up to three hours.
- Pour through the spoutAirs the wine on the way to the glass, does not drip. Deck, picnic, the boat, the park: the bottle comes with you and stays cold.
Wherever the afternoon is. No esky required.
Fair questions
It is a sealed rod of 304 food-grade stainless steel. No battery, no gel, no motor. Cold steel goes into the wine and the wine gets cold. That is all it does.
Standard 750 ml bottles, screw caps included. The rubber collar takes the neck, the stopper seals what is left.
Serving temperature in 10 to 15 minutes, then up to three hours cold on the table. Long enough for the afternoon to run its course.

From people who put the ice cubes down
"Took it to a picnic in the Botanic Gardens. The rosé was still properly cold at the last glass and I did not carry a single bag of ice."
