Huski Wine Cooler & Wine Tumbler 2.0 Review: The Ultimate Outdoor Wine Companion
Huski Wine Cooler Review – By Rachel Ducker
Whether it’s snuggled up on the ground in front of the main stage at a festival, relaxing in the great outdoors on a camping trip, enjoying an impromptu picnic with friends or simply unwinding after a long dog walk in the country, there are few things more irritating than a warm drink.
Huski is renowned for solving precisely this problem, and after giving the Huski Wine Cooler and the Huski Wine Tumbler 2.0 a spin for a summer picnic, festival and beach visit, it’s easy to see why this New Zealand brand is gaining such a loyal following among wine enthusiasts and outdoor explorers.
Designed for Life on the go
From the moment you unpack them, the Huski products ooze quality. Made from premium stainless steel with an elegant, minimalist design, they feel every bit as luxurious to the touch as they are pleasing to the eye. These aren’t glasses to be tread on in the grass at Glasto, nor are they wine bottle carriers that will buckle in transit in a campervan.
These are well-made products that feel as comfortable perched alongside a picnic on a park blanket as they do in a stylish contemporary home, and built to withstand the knocks of outdoor adventures
Huski Wine Cooler
Forget buckets of melting ice.
Let’s face it, if there’s one product you need more than anything during summer days, especially those spent out in the sun or crammed into an ice-filled cooler at an outdoor event, it is the wine cooler.
It will serve and protect your favourite bottle – no ice or other cool box needed. All you have to do is pop a chilled bottle straight from the fridge into the Huski Wine Cooler, lock it by turning the lid and you’ve got several hours of perfectly chilled wine, champagne and spirits ready to be enjoyed.
This gadget holds a normal 750ml bottle in place and keeps cold drinks chilled for up to six hours – ideal if you’re on a festival campsite and need your Chardonnay and your rosé chilled for multiple glasses, from lunch until sunset.
Even better, its sleek, modern appearance means the risk of messy ice or condensation dripping on your blanket is virtually zero with its ingenious double-walled vacuum.
Huski Wine Tumbler 2.0
Why risk broken glass when you’re enjoying nature?
Well, we always try to stick to plastic at festivals in a bid not to leave our precious drink unattended for long periods as, of course, that temperature tends to rise… very, very rapidly. If there is one thing to love about these tumblers, it’s the added ability to prevent your drink from overheating.
Unlike standard wine glassessitting outside, this insulated tumbler with a double-walled vacuum design will keeps your drink as cold as it possibly can be for an extended amount of time, due to triple insulations with a copper-lining.
Furthermore, there is also an removable “TwistLock” stem that can be un-clipped at ease which not only makes it feel very stable but also allow the use of a stemless Wine Tumbler or a wine glass – if you wish. It has also been designed with a very clever, slider cap which helps not to spill or let unwanted particles enter your wine whilst you are travelling from A to B – handy indeed!
A Must Have For Festival Season
If there was ever an accessories born to shine in a festival environment, then Huski has certainly delivered here. Packing wine in a festival is often a nightmare: delicate stemware to crack in transit; cumbersome coolers filling up space and quickly looking pathetic once the ice melts.
Using Huski just makes sense, keeping both bottle and serving temperature perfectly regulated all day long – which we absolutely love. Because you can no longer drink out of glass at festivals, Huski provides a solution, enabling you to enjoy something as sophisticated as you like without fear of breakages.
An Essential For Campers And ‘Glampers’
Our recent camping and ‘glamping’ trips have really benefited from these great little accessories. Space can be at a premium in a camper van or tent and even taking ice buckets is often problematic to pack and then keep cool. The Wine Cooler simply takes up a similar space to an empty bottle of wine so hardly seems worth mentioning when travelling on a weekend getaway.
You’ll Be Using These Outside Of The Season
Even though we’re using this gear in peak summer. The Huski Wine Cooler and Wine Tumbler 2.0 are just as perfect for use at BBQs and summer garden parties, an al fresco dinner table or even a romantic picnic by the beach – a true example of using things when we need to and the fact they are so stylish just makes it the perfect purchase! They even keep hot drinks warm in the cold!
The Husband Wine Tumbler 2.0 is as versatile, if not more so. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee al fresco at a campsite, sipping on water during a long hot walk or even using your favourite cocktail creation to keep it perfectly chilled out under the summer sun. This is certainly not a restricted purchase and can be used daily!
The Verdict
The Huski Wine Cooler and Wine Tumbler 2.0 are the perfect answer to your outdoor, wine-based dilemmas. Made with durability, style, and functionality in mind, this fantastic pair will bring sophistication to any outing and ensure you’re sipping in style and perfectly chilled all summer long.
