Is this new? I can remember wine coolers in British supermarkets in the early 90s where you placed a wine bottle into a receptacle, pressed a button and extracted a very cold bottle about 90 seconds later. I'm guessing they just circulated cold water round the bottle.

Whole Foods (Large American grocer targeting healthy and alternative lifestyles) still has what seems to be just that at their stores in the wine departments. It's a rather drab looking cylindrical device with a pool of water in it that swirls on button press.

Now people at Whole Foods are going to be scratching their heads as to why the sudden a bunch of geeks are lining up to use the wine chiller no one has touched in the last five years. lol

Do people not use these? People use the one at a supermarket near me all the time.
