Egg-O : Review and Giveaway

What came first, the wine or the Egg-O?

The reality is, who cares?

Wine,  my primary  source of sustenance and comfort, celebration assistance, relationship enabler.

My beverage of choice.

I have been known to go to the park toting a bottle of wine.  Also the kids and other adults.  Certainly not just me and my bottle sitting under a tree or anything.

I’ve also been known to frequent BYO-friendly establishments.  I like to think that, whatever I’ve saved on being able to BYO, will help pay for the babysitter.

I also like to take wine when visiting certain friends who are not quite right.  Not quite right because they don’t drink.  And, get this – they have kids!  Who has kids and hasn’t, at some point, been driven to the wine bottle for sanity and salvation?!

All of this means that I consider myself a bit of an expert on wine storage, transportation, and consumption.  A very committed expert who conducts regular and extensive research, thank you very much.

My biggest gripe to date has been temperature.  You see, I like my wine cold.  Really cold.  Even red wine.  Yeah I know, that’s wrong on so many levels, according to so many real wine experts (not self-proclaimed experts like yours truly).  I don’t care.  I like it cold.  And if it can’t be chilled…watch me put ice in it.  Even the red stuff.

Enter Egg-O, answer to all my prayers (except the ones about Vin Diesel).

Hallelujah!

Here’s how it works…

Place your pre-chilled bottle of white wine inside (I’m non-discriminatory so I’ve used both red and white in my extensive testing).

Click the cap into place and voila – grab the handle, take the lid off your bottle and pour away.

The genius is in the fact that you never have to remove your chilled bottle from the Egg-O, so it stays all chillaxed for longer.  Until you finish the bottle and need to sub in a reserve.

It’s simple to operate, and easy to get your head around.  Also perfect for when you’re subbing in reserve 3, 4 or 5 and you’re at the stage of utilising only basic functions and motor skills.

Also, it’s perfect for disguising those cheap $4.99 bin-end bottles you grabbed from the darkened bargain corner of the bottle shop.

This bottle may or may not have come with a label

It even floats, so get ye to a pool party, Egg-O in hand  as a floatation device,  and you’ll never have to leave the pool.  Except to, you know.

It’s stylish, it’s trendy, it’s colour co-ordinatable (my word, you’re welcome).  It comes in 6 colours, so is sure to match at least one of your Gucci handbags (real or faux, the Egg-O doesn’t mind).

Now that I’m super stylish in my wine delivery method, all I need is wine worthy of my Egg-O.

I wonder if I can find some empty bottles to decant cask wine?
