How to use The Chiller Kit

You will have this down by the second bottle. There are three steps, one of them is pouring yourself a glass, and the only rule that matters is that the bottle starts cold.

The Innercore rod stored in the freezer door
1Charge it

It lives in the freezer

That is the whole preparation. Fifteen minutes charges the stainless steel Innercore rod, and most owners never take it out at all. It simply lives in the freezer door, ready for the next bottle.

There is nothing inside it to degrade, expire or leak, so a month in there is exactly where it is supposed to be.

Dropping the Innercore rod into a cold wine bottle
2Drop it in

Into a cold bottle it goes

Start with a bottle that is already fridge cold. Pour one glass first to make room, then let the rod slide down the neck under its own weight. Never force it.

From there it chills from the inside and holds that cold for up to two hours at the table. One honest note: it holds a chill rather than creating one, so a room temperature bottle will not become cold. It fits standard 750ml still wine bottles.

Pouring wine through the aerating spout
3Pour and care

Pour through the aerator

Push the aerating spout on and pour through it. It opens the wine on the way out and does not drip down the label between pours. When the evening is over, care takes seconds.

  • Rinse it or run it through the dishwasher, both pieces are dishwasher safe.
  • Straight back in the freezer, ready for the next bottle.
  • Still whites and rosés only, never sparkling. Pressurized bottles are not safe for it.

The questions owners actually ask

The spout will not screw on. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. Frost builds in the thread when the rod has been in the freezer a while. Wipe the opening with a cloth dipped in warm water and it will go straight on. Takes about five seconds.
Is it annoying to clean?
Rinse it or put it in the dishwasher, both pieces. Then it goes back in the freezer, ready for the next bottle. There is no bucket to empty and no carafe to dry.
What if I leave it in the freezer for a month?
That is where it is supposed to live. It is solid food safe stainless steel with nothing inside it to degrade, expire or leak. Ours has been in the freezer door since we started.
Can I use it with champagne or prosecco?
No, and please do not try. Sparkling bottles are thicker, narrower at the neck and under pressure, so the rod must never go into them. Still whites and rosés only. If you want your prosecco cold, the fridge is the answer.
