ICE COOL DESIGN

A Revolution In Wine Cooling BEVERAGE SUPPLIERS & SYSTEMS

Familiar looks , extraordinary design . From Ice Cool Design comes the Hielo : a new way to keep wine chilled on the tabletop .
Ice Cool Design took inspiration from luxe Manhattan restaurants and sun-soaked restaurant terraces in Mallorca when crafting the Hielo . It ’ s a fresh solution to keeping wine chilled on the tabletop and a unique alternative to using buckets full of ice and cold water .
Innovatively designed from solid aluminium , the Hielo uses just five ice cubes to keep the bottle inside gently chilled for over an hour . It ’ s convenient , compact and starts working as soon as you drop in the ice . Internal stilts keep the bottle elevated , so there ’ s no condensation , no drips , no slippery glass and no wet labels . It ’ s available in three finishes : light gold , gunmetal grey and matte black .
LESS COST , LESS WASTE Unlike conventional ice buckets , the Hielo uses just five ice cubes , making it environmentally friendly and cost-effective . In fact , the Hielo is estimated to produce 80 % less carbon emissions than a standard ice bucket by sustainability consultancy Carbon Footprint .
AN INTELLIGENT DESIGN The Hielo maintains a temperature as close to fridge conditions as possible , where wine can rest on the tabletop without losing its cool – but also without over-chilling . Many conventional wine buckets and tabletop coolers bathe bottles directly in ice , producing heavy thermal conduction that makes the wine a colder temperature than it should ideally be served at .
The Hielo ’ s remarkable design works in reverse , increasing coolness over time to counteract the wine becoming naturally warmer . It uses just five ice cubes to create a gentle , delicately cool internal chamber where wine stays fresh but doesn ’ t turn ice cold – as if it ’ s just been taken from the fridge . It ’ s the optimal conditions for enjoying wine , champagne and other chilled beverages .
MAKING FINE WINE EVEN BETTER From grape selection and vineyard growth to pressing , travelling and bottling – the Hielo is all about respecting the journey of the grape . Its unique design can help millions of wine lovers around the world enjoy wine at the right temperature , whilst promising lower costs and fewer emissions for the businesses that serve them .
