A few years ago I used to get Christmas presents just for me, I'd look forward eagerly to the time of year when I could sit down and selfishly make a list of things I wanted... knowing that I'd probably end up with over half of them most years! However recently things have changed somewhat, since having my own house it seems that my Christmas presents have to be shared between my house and myself. I love having my own house but sometimes I do find myself thinking back to the time when things were bought just for me! This Christmas, for instance, I got lots of presents but about a third of them were more presents for my house... All of a sudden it seems that I've got a ...  Read the complete review

I love a glass or two of Rose wine on a summers evening and when I get home from work there is nothing worse than when I have forgotten to put a bottle of wine in the fridge so that it is cold, which seems to happen more often than not unfortunately. I find that it has to be chilled otherwise it just doesn't taste the same. This is when for my Birthday I was given a Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler that came in the stainless steel version. This is a great idea as it is not run on electric so that you can use and take it anywhere and even use it on the patio while relaxing in the sunshine. The Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler is a chiller that you ...  Read the complete review

We have invested in a wine cooler. The one we (finally) decided on is a stainless steel Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler which set us back £12.99 which we didn't think was too bad. For years and years now we have been promising to buy ourselves one of these (or something similar) but for whatever reason, we just haven't' got around to it. The reason we finally decided to buy one was when I'd placed 2 bottles of rather expensive Pino Grigio in the top drawer of our freezer the one night when we had friends coming over. I'd forgotten to put any in the fridge and thought it would be fine to pop it into the freezer for half an hour. The trouble was, I'd left it in  Read the complete review

It might be a little bit, well.. posh to have a wine cooler outside of a wine bar, but if you enjoy your wine cold, it's an essential bit of kit. I have the Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler and here is my review. **What is it, and Why do I need one?** It's sort of like an open ended Thermos for your wine, with a removable freezable jacket inside, of the sort that freezer bags are made out of. You just keep the jacket in the freezer and pop it into the inside of the wine cooler. Then you can serve your wine icy cold and keep it that way for a few hours. Do you need one? Well, if you drink wine and you like it COLD, or if you ...  Read the complete review

The Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler is a product I've owned since last summer. I do like my wine, but I absolutely hate warm wine.....to the extent that I even like my red wine cooled (I know, I know, I'm a heathen). I chose the Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler because I had read positive reviews about it, and having looked it up online it was also readily available and at a reasonable price. The Vacuvin Rapid Ice Prestige Wine Cooler is currently for sale on Amazon for £12.73 - which I think is a bargain and you really can't go wrong that that price. The cooler itself is shaped like a small tapered barrel and is silver in colour. It looks quite ...  Read the complete review
