Wine FREEZE Cooling Cups in Blue (set of 2) and lids by HOS

These cups are great. The gel stays frozen for a few hours in a temperate room. I haven't tried outside in high heat, but I imagine you would get at least an hour. Much better than ice, and can keep drinks cold that you don't want iced. They look cute also. I do think they are pricey for what they are, but I bought them on steep discount. I read some reviews about the bottoms busting out or bulging and it worried me, but I've had no issues freezing them repeatedly. I have used them and refrozen them several times. I am wondering if people are freezing them wrong. You freeze them UPSIDEDOWN. The set I got came in plain brown bulk packaging with no instructions, but I noticed online that when you buy these in a store they come in nice glossy white rack packaging. That led me to believe the glossy packaging probably comes with instructions. My plain brown bulk packaging did not. I went to the company's website and saw directions for use that say place in the freezer upside down for white wine and in the refrigerator for red (but did not specify upside down in the refrigerator). I think people may be placing them in the freezer right side up since they don't have instructions, causing the gel to expand in the bottom of the cup - thereby warping or busting the plastic. If you avoid this and follow the manufacturers instructions (not provided in the box but available online), I believe you shouldn't have any problems. I sure haven't. The seller might want to consider adding this instruction to the listing.

Hot day by the pool, or the lake, or the beach or on your boat. Put your wine bottle on ice and pour a bit in one of these stay cold glasses. No more tepid temperature wine.

One of it has crack inside after using it a few times

Love these wine tumblers! Love the grippers too for when I'm in the pool with wet hands.

The cold doesn’t last as long as I imagined (or other brands I have) and the lids on mine didn’t have a snug fit. Kind of disappointed but they do hold the wine.

I bought this for my husband as a gift as he recently got into drinking wine. We were drinking wine out of drinking glasses so I knew we needed something more sophisticated (but not quite a wine glass). I found these cups and they are our favorite thing we have bought for wine drinking. We store them in the freezer and pull them out anytime we need a glass. It keeps our wine chilled for at least a few hours. The grip makes it easy to hold and not cold. Plus they come with lids you can close so you don't accidently spill or bugs don't go inside during the summer. We love these! Pros: - Keeps wine chilled for at least a few hours - Easy to hold with rubber grip and not cold to the touch - Lids to prevent spilling and keep dirt out - Plastic so does not break when you drop it Cons: - None found so far!

Okay, so these are insulated PLASTIC wine glasses. Great for home use or when you're not trying to impress anyone with your elegant glassware. What really surprised me is that 2 of the glasses came with "sippy lids" - I don't know why. Do the sellers really expect you to serve wine to your little ones? Or are they adding this option because they think you're going to get so soused by overconsumption of alcohol that you're going to need this lid to keep from spilling it all over yourself and, possibly, others? One note of importance: although the manufacturer's instructions clearly state that these should never be washed in the dishwasher, I will readily confess that (being of an adventurous nature) I decided to "try out" this directive. Generally, by the time I rinse dishes of debris and load them into the dishwasher, I never use the hot water and heat dry functions. I just use a short cycle and turn off the heat to dry. Once the dishes are washed, I just cancel the remaining functions and opens the door, pull out the trays, and they air dry in a short time. I've only put these wine glasses on the top shelf. They always come out perfectly clean and totally intact. I keep these glasses in the door of a large commercial size freezer that i keep in our attached garage, along with my martini glasses. I love a nice chilled glass for wine or a cocktail.

After a bit too much enthusiasm among a crowd watching a sporting event caused the dreaded Red Wine Lake on our carpet, and realizing how very much little flies appreciated the 'everyday' vintage we were drinking in the back yard and dived into our glasses, I decided to seek a solution to such mishaps and annoyances. I did a good bit of research on the merits of glass, stainless, and various kinds of plastics. In the end, the value of keeping our refreshments ''chill" prompted me to purchase the HOST wine glasses over glass varieties. MISTAKE. Firstly, the initial visual impression is quite off-putting, as the gel contained between the two walls is not exactly clear; it is slightly yellow and it looks all chunky...like jello if you stirred it up well with a fork. But we know that beauty is not simply skin deep...and utility was the main reason for the purchase, anyway. However, you see, one thing I like my glasses to do is to stand up. Elementary, right? Well, the glass wobbled like the Weebles of old, unless I shook the gel to get it to distribute itself in a particular way. Zany! Upon closer inspection, we noticed that the glass had sort of an 'outie belly button' centered on the bottom of the cup. It must have something to do with how they come out of the mold. Unfortunately, unable to trust the glass to stay upright, we were unable to test for leak resistance from the lid or its ability to chill drinks. Looks like I need to revisit my research. (If the appearance pleases you, do check the glasses prior to usage or gifting for that wobble-causing 'belly button' on the bottom)
