Wine cooler for white wine, rosé, and champagne

A wine cooler helps keep an already chilled bottle at serving temperature for longer. At Mémoire, you will find two practical types: a double-walled stainless steel wine cooler for the table and a flexible active wine cooler that you chill in the refrigerator or freezer beforehand.

Stainless steel wine cooler without ice

A double-walled stainless steel wine cooler uses an insulating layer of air around the bottle. As a result, a pre-chilled bottle stays cool longer without the need for ice cubes or water. This makes the cooler suitable for serving white wine, rosé, and sparkling wine at the table.

Wine cooler or champagne cooler?

A separate cooler is not needed for champagne. A champagne cooler works on the same principle as a wine cooler: the bottle is pre-chilled, and the cooler helps maintain that temperature while serving. A double-walled stainless steel model looks great on the table; an active cooling sleeve is more practical if you want to keep the bottle chilled in a compact way.

Active wine cooler and wine cooler sleeve

An active wine cooler is chilled beforehand and then slid directly over the bottle. Such a flexible wine cooler sleeve is compact, reusable, and easy to take with you. This type is useful for drinks, a picnic, or when you have limited space on the table.

Which wine cooler should you choose?

Choose a stainless steel model if you are looking for a permanent, elegant cooler for the table. Choose an active cooling sleeve if compact size and flexibility are more important. In both cases, chill the bottle yourself beforehand for the best results.

Combine with glassware and accessories

Frequently asked questions about wine coolers

Does a double-walled wine cooler chill a warm bottle?

A double-walled cooler is primarily intended to keep an already chilled bottle at temperature for longer. Therefore, please pre-chill the bottle in the refrigerator.

How do I use an active wine cooler?

Chill the sleeve beforehand according to the product instructions and then place it around a chilled bottle. Let the sleeve dry completely after use before cooling it again or storing it.

Choose a wine cooler for your serving occasion

A double-walled stainless-steel wine cooler helps slow the warming of a bottle that has already been chilled. An active cooling sleeve is cooled in advance and then placed around the bottle, while an ice bucket can help chill wine using ice and water. Choose according to bottle size, how much room you have at the table and the duration of your meal. A passive cooler cannot instantly cool down wine that starts at room temperature.

Compare insulated coolers, cooling sleeves and ice buckets

Not sure whether a stainless-steel cooler, reusable sleeve or ice bucket fits your situation? The main difference is whether you want to chill a bottle or keep a pre-chilled wine closer to serving temperature. Read the specific product instructions and compare the wine accessories available for your table.
