About the product:  The elegant DECOR 2 Bottle BYO Wine Cooler is a very stylish way to carry two bottles of wine and keep them perfectly chilled.
Have the wine well chilled to begin with and the insulated BYO with its frozen chiller will keep it at delicious drinking temperature to the last drop.  At the table the BYO sits in its lid to become a convenient ice bucket.
There's another practical DECOR touch.  The handle activates an ingenious lock which holds the lid on securely, even when the BYO is stowed on its side.
How to use the Wine Chiller:  Because salt water freezes at a lower temperature than tap water, the chiller will stay frozen longer if you fill it to the line with a solution of one tablespoon of salt in one litre (1 quart) of water.
Once filled to the marked line the same salty water can be used indefinitely.  It's a good ida to keep your chiller in the deep freeze ready for use at any time.  Be sure the wine to be packed is well chilled and straight from the fridge.
