One of Cool Sac's eight colors

Summer may officially be over, but it’s not quite time to pack up the picnic blanket and head indoors for hibernation. The fresh fall air is a perfect excuse to head outdoors, carve pumpkins, go apple picking and end the day relaxing in the orchard nibbling on cheeses and sipping wine.

Despite cooler temperatures, if you’re a white wine drinker you run the risk of having warm wine by the time you settle down. Or at least you did until now. Luckily, The Cool Sack, an innovative company focused on keeping our favorite beverages optimal temperatures, is keeping it fresh with this week’s hot item and insider tip: the Four Sided Cool Sack. It’s the, self-described, “stylish and innovative way to keep wine chilled,” and there’s no disagreement there.

How does it work? Think of the ice pack your mom used to put in your lunch box and combine it with the gellies shoes girls used to wear in the 80’s, add a non-toxic mixture of water and propylene glycol (the thing that freezes) as the filling and simply pop in the freezer. When you’re ready, slip your favorite wine in it when you’re heading out and let it do its job. Genius.

This gadget goes beyond the wine koozie and brings us to realm where we no longer have to worry about drinking warm white wine outdoors. Other uses include: toting a white wine to a party, a party favor, housewarming present or even a Secret Santa gift. At only $7.99 it’s hard to beat.
