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.

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?

I'm with you must have red wine super chilled as well as white, Egg-O im in love what an awesome and snazzy looking way to keep wine just as cold as I like it, till that very last drop ;) liked Egg-O and already have a list of people I know would love to have one in their lives and shared :D:D
ReplyDeleteliked and shared the lurve on my page :) I've lots of friends who would agree that EGGO-O is the way to go when it comes to keeping wine nice and cold - especially with the warmer months sneaking up. I like my white wine chilly (no ice though...can't be watering that goodness down!) and my red wine at room temperature. I would love an Eggo-O to use and show off. Very nifty and very chic.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I must have one. Great review. Thought I was the only person who went to the park with wine in the picnic hamper!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I know a few people who would love one for Christmas
ReplyDeleteLiked and shared!
people who dont drink are to be viewed warily.. lol its just not right! This is such a cool (pun intended heehee) idea!! love it!
ReplyDeleteO.M. Egg! This is tremendous! Fabulous! Stupendous! And looks like it will fit in my handbag, while reducing irritating clanking of the bottles I usually carrying in a twosome.
ReplyDeleteI love ice in wine over summer. Especially in a sparkling.
I have not partaken of many chilled reds, although I do drink red wine spritzer cold. So I profess I cannot offer an opinion until I have tried it. Which I will be able to do when I win one of these, no?
Have shared on twitter im on the fence on both i would say hardly ever add ice to my wine and only on the rare occasion do i chill my red.
ReplyDeletethis is a must have for DPCON12! We can all sit in the back row pretending to sip from a super flash trophy wife's water bottle. PERFECT
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought was how do you fit a cask in it, but I suppose, if I decant BEFORE drinking any then I might be able to do it. Decanting afterwards would just be me sitting under the cask nozzle as if being waterboarded.
ReplyDeletePro baby ;)
ReplyDeleteYour giveaway and my giveaway need to get together ;)
ReplyDeleteI love putting ice in my wine if it's not super fridge cold, if people don't have ice I just don't understand. I drink a sweet red wine that is supposed to be served chilled.
ReplyDeleteI'm 22 and turned to wine a few years ago, it really surprised me that I moved past some of my spirit slamming days so quickly, wine makes me feel sophisticated. A nice (big) glass of wine makes everything better.
You've convinced me this is exactly what I need right now! Have liked Egg-O (already liked you!) and have shared on fb as My Home Truths and on twitter as @KirstyRussell
ReplyDeleteMy boys have just discovered they like eggs - haha and I already like wine - ice is ok if it is hot.
ReplyDeleteI liked Egg O

ReplyDeleteJust found you via Mrs Woog. You are hilarious! Love the look of this thing! :) Have liked on facebook via my private page (Robyn Sellars) and shared on twitter as slightly_deep. I can't have ice in my wine, but have to chill everything even red a little, much to disgust of others at times :)
ReplyDeleteLiked you (actually love you! just found you via woogsworld. woman after my mine heart) liked egg-0. I am guiltly of an ice cube in my wine or better still the wine in the freezer. wine slushies (that only comes with the last glass of the bottle tho). yum!
