I was going to ask this on here - but a quick Google threw up lots of answers

www.bonappetit.com/story/how-to-chill-wine-science

Put it in ice, add water, then add salt
Put it in horizontally
Best one - pour into plastic bags and then put in ice water. Or a fridge.

What's your best tip for quick cooling? How long does it take?

There's some interesting experiments here. Size of bottle, type of wine, what about beer etc....

Stick it in the freezer for half an hour

Wrap it in wet paper towel and put in fridge.

Put one of those frozen collars on the bottle and stick in the fridge for 15 minutes. For parties/barbecues put a bag of ice and cold water in a bucket and stick bottles in there. Saves filling your fridge with booze and the door being opened every five minutes.

Wrap it in wet paper towels, stick it in the freezer for 3 mins, done Grin

Just don't forget about it while it's in there...

Too long. We always keep those wine chiller collars in the freezer for this reason Grin

It takes too bloody long.

i have no shame and just add ice and drink it quickly before it turns in to a weak wattery mess.

Freezer. But don't forget about it.

Buy it from the chiller in the shop and get home quick.
