Review on MeyLiving Collapsible 6-Bottle Wine Carrier/Storage: Ideal Liquor, Picnic & Hostess Gift - 7.1x10.4x10.8inches, 1-Pack, Lava Black by Lauren Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cool organizer!

I bought this to use as a drinks organizer for our heavy duty 50 liter Coleman Xtreme 5 Day Wheeled Fridge. I was sick of our drinking glasses tipping over, some of them without spill-proof lids, so every day at the pool or beach I drank water, milk, juice, or La Croix vodka all over the cooler. This is PERFECT for my cooler, just what I was hoping for. I can fit 5 of my family's different sized glasses (8oz-30oz) into the slots. I don't think it fits more than a pair of 30 oz Ozark Trail goggles, but it easily fits one of these, two DrinCo 20 oz glasses, a 20 oz Ozark Trail goggle and my 24 -Oz Corksicle. This item is STRONG! Very well made and I wouldn't worry about it breaking if I had to wear it with hard drinks. The divider will not stay in place. I was hoping it would have velcro or something to hold it in place but it doesn't. If you only need to carry a couple of wine bottles or glasses I'm not sure this will keep them upright during transport. But it's perfect for my specific needs and I can't even give it one star for that. I haven't used it yet but I will tomorrow and if it doesn't work as I planned I will update my review but if not then it works fine. ****Renew after a few weeks of use**** Seems to absorb moisture. I left the cooler closed without emptying it after a day at the pool, which I almost never do, but I forgot. After 2 days I opened it and realized I had forgotten it. No big deal, I thought, because I never keep anything wet in the fridge. Everything is always separate. Spring. Condensation formed in the radiator and around our mugs. I picked up the carrier and it was completely wet with just condensation! Inside is cardboard which I would not have guessed as it was very durable. I was hoping for $35, plastic inside. I can buy cardboard storage boxes at Wal-Mart for 1/3 the price or less and make my own cardboard dividers for free when I need cardboard. So this is disappointing. I'm trying to dry out the holder and put it back in place, but I don't think it will ever regain its former strength, so I might return it and start looking again for something that satisfies my needs. I am changing my rating to 3 stars. I still think it's a great carrier, but only if you live in a dry environment (I don't) and you can guarantee it'll never get wet (which is weird to say when you're talking about something that made for storing liquids). breaking bottles).

Pros
  • Wine Racks and Cabinets
