Oh no the rectangle is flashing!

These will work great when we are headed to a restaurant and taking our own bottle. Nothing I hate more than having to wait for a bottle of white or Pinot to get cold while already seated ready to eat.

cool!

Did anyone else see a little girl in a chair when looking at the front page? To be honest, it's a little strange, Woot.

FYI, freezing any product and expecting it to chill a bottle of wine is the least efficient.

By the way, Mythbusters proved this if you don't want to take my word regarding simple physics and the laws of thermodynamics...

My goodness you are quite full of...whatever. How am I wrong when I said they were plastic bags meant to be filled with ice/water, yet you said the exact same thing? Please keep your physics, thermodynamics and mythbusters with all your other inefficient conductors.

Hello Malaysia..... these little ice boxes are soon to become residents! Sending them with my daughter as I am thinking these are much more multi-functional than an ice chest or some sort of random bucket-thing. Woot expands my mind to some pretty cool out-of-the box ideas.....even if I'm buying an interesting plastic box!

Easy there, killer. I think he was talking about your utter shock when you realized there was no freezable fluid between the walls. Having such a freezable fluid would not chill efficiently. We can all sarcastically get along, can't we?

And good God, that is a terrible sight! It's going to give me a seizure. I miss the boucing button of yesteryear.

Are we the only ones left!!

Certainly not! Your engaging repertoire over this evening convinced me that this was the perfect gift to purchase (at the end of the Woot) for my daughter. Just watch....she may be one of the biggest Bottle On Ice fans ever!

No Kidding - I agree!

Has wine.woot quit giving out the number of woots sold and Woot wage?

It is missing for yesterday and Monday's offerings.

Wondering the same thing, haven't seen a response.

Oh! Well now I know...

It is understandable that one cannot take delivery of your products whilst inebriated*, however I think it very fortunate for your business model that one can make ones purchasing decisions in such a state. I was apparently so excited about my order of 2 of these 3-packs, that I rushed back to order a 3rd a while later...


*I know this is likely irrelevant to deliveries of non-alcoholic items.

Wow it's been 7 days and these haven't shipped yet. Bought mine for a gift. Hope they get here before the gift giving time arrives.

Mine too, wonder if it's a tracking problem or if they haven't shipped yet... Anyone else get theirs yet?

bottleonice wrote:hello,
yes we agree, it's very hard to put the bottle back in if there is only ice: that's why we recommend always putting equal parts water & ice so the going in and out is easy.
Also: we actually printed a "guide" onto the side of the bag with water and ice levels for optimal enjoyment.
cheers!

You should actually do this with any "ice" bucket. For just that reason.

How long is shipment going to take?
You should get your wine in 2-3 weeks, often sooner. We know the wait is kind of a drag. But it's still gonna taste good (maybe even better), and since we leave it to the wineries to get the wine to you, you can count on their experience to send their wine using their expert methodologies.

Well I certainly hope these things taste better after this wait.

No kidding. My item was provided to FedEx 16 days after I placed the order. Delivery estimate (from West Coast to East Coast) is 10 more days. Looked like a good deal at the time and I hope they're worth the wait. Probably won't order anything, save for the greatest deal in the world, through Woot in the future.

VERY disappointed. Put the bottle in the bag, then the ice, then the water. Took them to a concert/picnic in an insulated bag and one was broken by the time I got there, driving! So there was no jostling around or heavy impact. The bottom broke out. Icy water filled the insulated bag and ruined everything. Not happy with them. The one that didn't break did not keep wine cold for very long because the ice doesn't last very long in a cheap piece of plastic. Worst woot item I've ever bought.
