The most useful sentence on this shelf

That last bullet.

Nine items here are about serving wine at the right temperature or in the right glass, and one of them says what the right temperature is. It is the cheap plastic one.

Where it belongs

Outside. On a terrace, by a pool, on a boat.

Fourteen dollars buys you the same cup in real glass from the same maker, and real glass is exactly what you should not take outside.

What readers ask us

Why do the published temperatures matter?

Because a cooling cup is sold on temperature and almost nobody tells you the target. Forty-three to fifty-three Fahrenheit for a white, fifty-eight to sixty for a red: that is what the cup is trying to hold, stated by the maker, and it is the only such figure on this shelf.

Plastic or the glass version?

The glass version is $33.99 for the same 8.5 oz and the same gel walls, and publishes a two-hour freezing time. This one is BPA-free plastic at $19.99 and goes outside. The gel does the same job in both.

Is this a wine glass?

It is a stemless tumbler with gel in the walls. It holds wine and keeps it cold. It is not a tasting glass — three items on this shelf are, at 4, 4.22 and 7.5 ounces.

    • Real glass with a published freezing time of two hours, which the maker’s plastic cup on this shelf does not state
    • Chills without ice, so a spirit or a cocktail does not dilute as it gets cold — the stated point of the whole range
    • The title sells it as a whiskey tasting glass and four of the five bullets describe martini glasses — the listing does not know what it is

    Best for: A chilled spirit or a cocktail served without ice, from a glass that spent two hours in the freezer

    • One of only two items on this shelf with a published decanting time — 3 to 5 minutes, through a double-layer filter

    • Seven hundred and fifty milliliters for a 750 ml bottle, so the wine sits at the rim with no room to swirl

    Best for: An older red with sediment, aerated in five minutes rather than half an hour
