KeepCool Wine Chiller Review


Over the course of the last month, I have really been stepping outside my comfort zone. I don't drink much wine, but I tried Wine Awesomeness and loved the wines they sent. I tried an aerator, which ended up confusing me a lot and probably is not for me, and then I accepted an opportunity to review the KeepCool wine chiller. So it's been a big wine month - and I'm happy to say I'm loving this new experience.

Fete Home Wine Aerator Review

I had mentioned before that I'm not much of a wine drinker, so I can't call myself an expert by any means. However, I do like some wines and with my recent experience trying out Wine Awesomeness, I decided I would like to learn a little more. I also decided it would be a good chance to understand all the aspects of drinking wine and variations on it. When I saw the opportunity to review Fete Home's Adjustable Wine Aerator, I figured this would be a good chance to learn about aeration and see the difference for myself.


The first thing I noticed when opening the package was the quality of the product itself. The box is really sturdy and is the kind of item that stores well, if you opt to keep the box, but you're also given a bag for storage if you choose not to instead. The item was well made and nothing about it felt cheap.

Wine Awesomeness Review: February 2015 (with deal to get your own first box for only $15!)

Sometimes, I am just easily swayed by deals. I saw a deal to get the first box from Wine Awesomeness for only the cost of shipping, and I signed right up. Of course, I drink maybe three glasses of wine a year, so I have no business subscribing to a wine box. But deals are deals.

I don't what to praise first - the incredible customer service at Wine Awesomeness or the amazing wine! To start, let me say that since I don't drink much wine, I intended to try this box and cancel, because three bottles of wine will last me forever. (Literally forever, I think.) But I wanted to try it to offer a review, because I know there are lots of wine lovers out there. So as soon as the box shipped, I canceled. Later that day, I got an email from Logan, the CEO of Wine Awesomeness, who wanted to know if there was something they could have improved to retain my business. Okay, first of all, all subscription boxes need to take a note from Logan. Sure, there are lots of us who maybe try boxes when there are deals, but there are others who find that the boxes are just subpar and it's really good business to pay careful attention to what customers have to say. They, after all, make or break your business model in the end.

So I admitted to Logan that I am just not much of a wine drinker and I can't imagine I could drink three bottles in a month. Wine Awesomeness also offers the option for you to get boxes quarterly instead and I may consider that if I end up drinking three bottles in three months. But I told him that there was really nothing they did, and that I simply didn't drink enough for it to make sense (for the record, it costs $45 for a shipment - which is $15 a bottle and beyond reasonable). Instead of making a sales pitch and convincing me I needed to drink more wine, Logan instead asked for the blog address - and then provided us with this special link so that you, as readers, could get your first box for only $15 (free - but you pay shipping, which is normally included)! I was so impressed and honestly flattered, because they don't have to do anything, but chose to even after I canceled.

Anyway, on to the wine, so you can decide that you definitely want to try this (because, seriously, the deal is awesome and the wine is even better).
