A set of two insulated freezable wine glasses
With over 8,000 five-star-ratings on Amazon, these double-insulated wine glasses by Host use a proprietary cooling gel that stays frozen to keep white wine (or any other beverage) at the proper temperature for drinking. They are made from durable BPA-free plastic, so they're also a great option for outdoor entertaining or imbibing at the beach. If you hate that condensation that drips down a cooling glass, then you’re in luck, because an insulated silicone band runs around the glass to ensure a comfortable, non-slip grip. Just pop these glasses in the freezer, then take them out when you’re ready to use.
These freezable glasses are also available in a stemmed glass style.

A solo wine glass chiller perfect for stemmed glassware
This freezable wine glass cradle actively chills beverages for up to 45 minutes outdoors and for over an hour indoors thanks to a large cold surface area and insulated cradle.

Both components of this chiller are dishwasher-safe and made from recycled materials, plus, it’s compatible with most stemmed glassware from champagne coups to large Bordeaux glasses. (Keep in mind that for maximum chilling effect, the glass that you use should have a bowl or base that sits within the cradle and touches the cooling surfaces, rather than hovering above it.)
