WINE – Host Freeze Cooling Wine Glass Set

Wine, for TGJ’s money, is the worst hangover creator of all time.

The British Medical Association may say whiskey but they clearly drank too little wine when testing. They also did not factor in one crucial thing: availability. Unless you are a grade A, DEFCON 1 alcoholic (in which case congratulations for reading this far sober: have a celebratory drink) nobody starts on the sodding whiskey. Whiskey comes after the wine. That is why people think it causes worse hangovers, they’ve been double teamed (stop sniggering gentlemen!) by the alcohol equivalent of Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham on ‘roid rage.

Unfortunately wine can taste good, very good. It is also the ‘go to drink’ for entertaining anyone but a group of men. An idiot that says otherwise we ask this: would you serve your in-laws a nice merlot or a Heineken? If you picked the latter then THAT is why you are single! We here at TGJ often have a problem in that wine is much better cold than lukewarm. When you pour them it often goes warm very quickly. However, these Host Freeze glasses are very much the answer to this conundrum. A clever cooling gel system in the bottom of the glass means you only need to put your glasses in the fridge or freezer not the bottle. Thus you can keep wine cool without having to take a gamble and put the wine in the freezer at short notice, getting a red or white slurry as a reward.

With a reasonable price and capacity larger than the average glass (8.5floz to 5-6floz) this is well worth the investment for a pre-drink or dinner. Now you can get back to enjoying those hangovers (now chilled)!
