5 Reasons This Freezer Trick Gets Wine Cold in About 15 Minutes | Lindner & Co
Clever trick. But does it actually work?

5 reasons this freezer trick gets wine properly cold in about 15 minutes.

You've seen the steel stick go into the bottle. Here's what it really does, what it doesn't, and why it isn't the same as the lookalikes. Five answers, two minutes.

Honestly — is this just a gimmick?

It's a solid stainless steel rod you freeze and put in the bottle. That's the whole mechanism — no batteries, no gadget to break. Cold moves from the steel into the wine instead of from a bucket into the glass, which is why it works in minutes rather than an hour.

If it doesn't do what we say here, send it back within 30 days.

Do I have to pour some wine out first?

Yes — pour your first glass, then drop the stick in. That's the whole trick. The glass you've poured makes room for the rod, and by the time you've finished it the rest of the bottle has come down to temperature.

I've seen sticks like this for a few quid online.

They photograph the same. Compare the three things a photo won't show you: ours is food-grade stainless steel, not plastic; the aerating acrylic pour spout and the stopper are in the same box, not sold separately; and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee with a real person at the other end of the email.

How long does it actually stay cold?

Up to about three hours at the table. Which — going by the comments under our adverts — is roughly two and a half hours longer than most bottles round here survive.

Will it fit my bottles?

It fits standard 750ml bottles, so rosé, white and sparkling all take it. Wash it under the tap or put it in the dishwasher, back in the freezer, done.

It's fast. That's the entire point.

A fridge wants an hour. The freezer gets you there quicker but then you forget the bottle and it's slush. This skips both: the stick takes 10–15 minutes in the freezer — or just lives in there, ready whenever you are — and once it's in the bottle the wine comes down to drinking temperature in minutes, because it's chilling from the inside out rather than the glass inwards.

That's the fifteen minutes: a quarter of an hour in the freezer, then a few more in the bottle. Keep the stick in the freezer where it belongs and there's no waiting at all — warm Picpoul when the guests arrive, properly cold Picpoul by the time everyone's sat down. No planning required, which is the only reason anyone actually uses it.

No ice — so nothing gets watered down.

Ice keeps wine cold by slowly ruining it. Every cube that melts thins out the glass, and the bucket takes up half the table, sweats a ring into the wood and still needs topping up.

The cold here sits inside a sealed steel rod. Nothing melts, so not a drop of water ever reaches the wine — the last glass of the bottle tastes exactly like the first, only colder for longer.

It pours better than it went in.

Cold is only half a good glass. The clear acrylic top isn't decoration — it's a pour spout that aerates the wine on the way out. A bit of air as it pours and the flavour opens up, so the same bottle tastes rounder in the glass than it does straight from the neck.

It's drip-free too: no dribble down the label, no rings on the table, no reaching for a cloth halfway through Sunday lunch.

It holds for up to three hours. You will not need three hours.

Every time we run this advert, the comments say the same thing: who's got a bottle lasting that long? Fair. Nobody's claiming you'll be nursing it till Tuesday.

The three hours isn't really about you — it's about the bottle that sits out through a long lunch, the one that comes into the garden at five and is still there at seven, and the half you put back in the fridge without ever letting it go warm in the first place. You'll finish it long before it gives up. That's rather the idea.

"Every time I see this advert it reminds me to put some wine in the fridge."

— comment on our Facebook advert. Fair enough. This is for the nights you forget.

Steel, not plastic — and it doesn't turn up on its own.

This is the bit worth slowing down for, because sticks that look like this one turn up everywhere and the photo tells you nothing. Here's what's actually in the box:

Food-grade stainless steel. Solid, dishwasher-safe, made to live in the freezer for years — not a plastic party gadget that goes cloudy after one summer.

The aerating acrylic spout, included. The part that makes the pour taste better. Most sticks are just a stick.

A stopper, included. For whatever you don't finish.

The whole routine

Freeze it. Pour a glass. Drop it in.

Freeze it

10–15 minutes is enough. Most people just leave it in the freezer so it's always ready.
