Review on 🍷 Wine Cooler with Freezer Inserts: Keeping Your Drinks Chilled and Ready to Serve with Oggi by Matt Morgan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A wine cooler bucket that works really well

Oggi wine cooler is a good product. After seeing comparison results and performance tests on the TV show America's Test Kitchen, where the Oggi bucket was named the "winner", I decided to put it through my personal performance test; It keeps a bottle of wine cold for a reasonable amount of time. Beginning with frozen liners and cold bottled wine, the temperature at the bottom of the bucket begins at around 38 degrees Fahrenheit and then rises steadily to ambient over time. The only downside I've experienced is with the cooling inserts. Wanting a spare set of inserts, I contacted Oggi to purchase one; While the cost of the inserts was reasonable, the shipping costs were so high that all the "wrapping" was unprofitable. I've tried alternative methods of keeping the bottle warm, including regular ice in a bucket; This gluing method is much better. If you need to keep your drink cool in a bottle then this bucket is worth your consideration. Update - I'm reporting back after 1 year of regular use of the Oggi wine fridge with freezer inserts. The negative point is that the liners somehow lost the internal liquid that was supposed to freeze. Now I have 3 empty tabs. I have no idea how they were emptied or where the liquid went; didn't seem to flow. Now I'm just stuck with the bucket I use with ice to keep wine and beer bottles chilled, however now with dirty wet bottles that should 'fix' the inserts.

Pros
  • ICELESS WINE BOTTLE COOLER: Keeps your wine cool with no ice or condensation on the wine bottle itself. This ice-free wine cooler reduces the amount of mess and water drips when serving.
Cons
  • Crumpled pack
